What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLots of dogs on the weekend plan tonight, and we start with Shiloh, a nine-year-old Husky who arrived at the Montgomery County Animal Shelter in Texas in May.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWamiz reports he had lost almost all his fur, his claws were far too long, and medical checks found he was severely malnourished with ear infections.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut about two weeks in, a volunteer named Stacey stepped up to foster him. And his foster owner says he looks like a brand-new dog.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy favorite part is the nest. He used to curl up in the bushes in her yard, and now he comes straight to the door.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's my whole weekend plan. Walk straight to the door. I've been hovering outside it since Thursday, calling it a pause.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYou'd last an hour. Then you'd be back in the bushes with a snack.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRude.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNext, Tulsa, where FOX 23 reports a mother dog and her nine puppies were reportedly covered in motor oil as a flea and tick treatment.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThey spent three days at a shelter in Okmulgee County, then Oklahoma Pet Collective Society stepped in, and foster volunteer Tanya Crawford took all ten.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTen dogs in one home. Tanya Crawford took all ten. I can't commit to a Thursday.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTen?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNine puppies and a mom. I counted for you.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistForecast. Operation Dry Sunday. New York, cloudy tomorrow, high sixty-one, low thirty-nine, zero percent chance of rain.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistChicago matches it exactly, sixty-one and thirty-nine, zero rain. Los Angeles is clear, high eighty-six, low sixty-one, one percent chance of rain.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThat one percent in LA is a cloud I'm calling Gerald, and he knows what he did.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBrock, that forecast is a blockbuster. I'd pay to watch zero percent.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI find that suspicious. Back off.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd in Mysuru, over seven hundred eighty pet dogs from more than fifty breeds took part in the Dasara Dog Show, the Star of Mysore reports.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe dogs are valued between twenty-five thousand and two point five lakh rupees. I'd enter, but I'm worth less than the ribbon.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorConfession time. I planned a calm Sunday and I'm already behind on it.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI'm going to stand in a field and let the sky explain itself to me. For hours.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm bringing a foster dog to the door and making him a sandwich. Plan is solid.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShiloh came straight to the door. I'm out here in the hedge, snacking and nesting. Stacey's not coming.
