DrWeb’s Domain: A Washington Post Investigation: I’m Opening My Research Vault – NotebookLLM

I have been pondering the Washington Post recent changes, major changes, 1/3 of entire newsroom laid off (fired). February 4, 2026. I consider my further work as an open-source investigation. This isn’t raw AI speculation; it is a curated environment where the AI is constrained strictly to the high-integrity sources I have selected, specifically to eliminate ‘hallucinations’ and GIGO. There are over 30+ sources. With the sudden resignation of CEO Will Lewis on February 8, 2026, the questions of leadership and intent behind these cuts have become even more urgent.

Please share to others or social networks if you feel this is an important investigation. We have “lost” a national newspaper that shielded our Democracy from all enemies, foreign and domestic. That protect citizens with truth, inquiries, research, publication and stories they made visible.

If you visit, ask questions about my sources and content and views. The notebook is public, and I encourage all to take a look, and inquire — ask the question, did this have to happen? what did I miss? what parts were poorly sourced? Biased? —DrWeb

How pets healed us this year – The Washington Post

Each week, we highlight a comment from our readers. This week, my favorite comment was on a story I wrote about how pets healed us this year.

The Optimist

How pets healed us this year

They give our lives deeper meaning and make us laugh. Here’s how pets helped get us through 2025.

December 26, 2025, 4 min

By Sydney Page

If you have a pet, you know their healing properties. If you don’t, there’s well-documented science to back it up. Even just a few minutes with a dog or cat can make someone happier and less stressed.

So with that in mind, here are some animals that boosted our mood this year, made us laugh and feel less lonely, and even saved some lives. Basically, they helped us get through 2025.

They improved our mental health

Norm Feigenbaum, a 93-year-old Los Angeles man, described his yellow Lab, Sunny, as his best friend. When Sunny went missing for nearly two weeks, Norm felt anxious, had sleepless nights and said he felt a profound sense of emptiness. Volunteers worked tirelessly to reunite them, and when they did, Norm’s emotional state steadied.

“Without her, there’s nothing,” Norm said.

Then there’s Kynlee, a girl from Kentucky, who adopted Tennessee, a Boston terrier with a cleft lip that matched her own. Their bond lifted Kynlee’s confidence and brightened her outlook on life.

“Tennee is just like her,” said Kynlee’s mother, Kimberly Rogers, adding that they happen to share the same birthday, June 4. “It just gives her something she can relate to. She’s not alone.”

They gave us many laughs

Some pets have big personalities. Ray Ray, a mischievous house cat from Pennsylvania, turned a family road trip into an adventure when he hitched a 100-mile ride on the roof of his family’s van before anyone noticed he was there. He ended up getting a New York City vacation out of it, though his family toted him around in a cat backpack and on a leash for safety.

Then there’s Duke, the golden retriever whose talent for “stealing” household items turned him into a social media fan favorite. Lamps, reading glasses, picture frames, purses, even plates — nothing is safe. Duke parades his treasures around proudly in his mouth, before guarding the items on his bed. He keeps his owner — and thousands of followers — amused with his mischief every day.

They strengthened our community

Faygo, a friendly goldendoodle from Virginia, was diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier this year. Knowing how much Faygo loved getting attention from people, his owners asked neighbors to stop by and give Faygo a pet. Dozens of people visited to offer Faygo comfort, treats and affection in his final days. Through Faygo, a community came together for a dog they barely knew.

They saved people

Dogs have been known to alert people to perilous situations and even detect health issues or medical emergencies. Earlier this year, a shelter dog at an adoption event alerted a man that he was about to have a seizure, prompting his wife to take her husband home and give him his meds. She said the pooch’s instinct helped her husband avoid a dangerous seizure.

Another standout pooch this year is Freyja, a certified search-and-rescue dog in New Hampshire. When a 2-year-old girl went missing in the woods, Freyja and her handler spent nearly five hours navigating the dense, cold forest. Using her keen senses, Freyja tracked down the child, who was returned to her parents. Authorities noted that without Freyja’s tracking skills, the outcome could have been very different.

They helped us live with purpose

Beef, an English bulldog recovering from pneumonia, helped his owner’s father, Manny Miranda, stay motivated to exercise. Their slow, short daily walks became a shared fitness journey, and beloved on social media.

Courtney Proctor Cross transformed a struggling West Virginia animal shelter that was euthanizing most of its animals into a nationally recognized no-kill shelter.
