Chihuahua finds 2 girls lost in forest
NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) — A Chihuahua is being hailed as a hero after authorities say it sniffed out two girls who were lost in a Georgia forest.
The girls, ages 5 and 8, disappeared Monday for a couple of hours when they were walking on trails near their neighborhood about 30 miles southwest of Atlanta.
As police and firefighters began to search for the girls, neighbor Carvin Young grabbed his 3-year-old Chihuahua and joined the search.
Young said the dog, Bell, picked up the girls’ scent and began running until she reached them.
Rebecca Parga, the girls’ mother, says her children play with Bell almost every day, and the dog is very familiar with them.
The girls, Carlie and Lacey, were scared when they were found but were not hurt.
La Toya Jackson to get a reality show
NEW YORK (AP) — Oprah Winfrey has tapped La Toya Jackson to star in her own reality show.
“Life with La Toya” is described as a “candid look” inside Jackson’s life as she juggles family, friends and business. It will air next year on Winfrey’s TV network, OWN.
La Toya is one of Katherine and Joe Jackson’s nine children and was Michael’s sister.
She isn’t the first Jackson to get a reality show. “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty” aired for six episodes on A&E. It followed Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon and Tito Jackson.
La Toya also competed last year on “Celebrity Apprentice.”
