Family unexpectedly reunited with lost dog at free adoption event
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A family was unexpectedly reunited with their lost dog at a Jacksonville Humane Society free adoption event at PetSmart on Monument Road on Saturday. They originally went there to adopt a kitten when the father spotted the brown and white dog being leashed up to go for a walk, according to a post on the Humane Society's Facebook page. The dog heard his name, ran over to the family and gave them some wet kisses. But his family never lost hope and were excited to bring their furry friend back home. If you missed out on today's event, for JHS's Generosity Breeds Joy Weekend, you have another chance to adopt a furry friend tomorrow.
Cellphone video appears to show fight in the middle of Atlantic Boulevard
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A video appears to show a fight in the middle of a busy road in Arlington. It happened Monday while traffic was heavy in both directions of Atlantic Boulevard near the intersection of Monument Road. In the cellphone video, her young daughter can be heard singing inside the car while an argument between two men turned physical outside the vehicle. It's unclear what prompted the men to get out of their vehicles on Atlantic Boulevard and start arguing, but the video appears to show one man punching the other man. You have to remember that you dont want to get into a potential situation with someone, so stay in your car," Jefferson said.
