Bus Driver Helps Reunite Lost Dogs With Owners

NOEL KING, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Noel King. 'Twas just nights before Christmas, and in Milwaukee, the streets were empty except for two stray dogs - also, bus driver Jamie Grabowski, who was finishing up her shift. She saw the dogs.

JAMIE GRABOWSKI: Hey, you two - you need to go home right now.

KING: And in a video posted by the Milwaukee County Transit System, she brought them onto her warm bus. The dogs, both runaways, were reunited with their owners in time for Christmas. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
