5 Dogs That Love Strangers and 5 That Don’t

February 2, 2026 by Katy Stublen

Some dogs greet everyone warmly while others stay distant.

Dogs are not all wired the same when it comes to strangers. Some fling themselves into the arms of anyone willing to pet them, while others hold back, preferring to keep their trust for family alone. That split is part of what makes each breed unique. It comes from history, breeding, and purpose, shaping how they see people outside their circle. Knowing which dogs will roll out the welcome mat and which will keep it rolled up can save families from surprises later.

What to Expect in the First 3 Days, 3 Weeks, and 3 Months with Your Rescue Dog

January 30, 2026 by Katy Stublen

The timeline is real, and it surprises almost everyone.

The first hours feel emotional, the first days feel uncertain, and then the ground shifts again. Rescue dogs do not unfold all at once. They arrive in stages, often out of order, sometimes contradicting what you thought you understood. What shows up on day one is rarely the whole dog, and what emerges weeks later can catch even experienced owners off guard. Knowing what tends to surface at each point can make the difference between panic and patience, especially when progress looks uneven.

NASA Sets Its Sights on Finding a Second Earth

January 30, 2026 by Katy Stublen

A quiet shift in strategy hints at bigger ambitions.

For decades, NASA has scanned the cosmos for planets that resemble home, mostly as a scientific exercise, occasionally as a dream. Now the language is changing. Recent announcements suggest the agency is no longer just cataloging distant worlds but narrowing its focus with intent. New missions, revised timelines, and sharpened priorities point to something more deliberate. The question is not whether Earth-like planets exist, but how close NASA believes one might be, and what finding it would mean next.

Scientists Are Burying Dressed Pigs in Mexico for Surprising Reasons

January 30, 2026 by Katy Stublen

The experiment looks strange, but the reason is deadly serious.

In remote fields across Mexico, researchers are digging graves on purpose. What they place inside them is deliberate, unsettling, and designed to answer questions families have been asking for years. The work is not symbolic, and it is not academic curiosity. It is an attempt to understand how bodies disappear, how long evidence lasts, and why so many searches come up empty. The answers could change how mass graves are found, and why so many have been missed.

Why Gorilla Infanticide Is Rising, and What Scientists Are Linking It To

January 30, 2026 by Katy Stublen

Researchers say the behavior may reflect mounting pressure.

For decades, gorilla societies followed patterns that felt tragically predictable but stable. That stability is now starting to fracture. A new body of research points to a rise in infant killings within some gorilla groups, a behavior scientists once considered rare and situational. The most unsettling part is not the violence itself, but the conditions surrounding it. As habitats shift and food becomes less reliable, researchers are asking whether environmental stress is beginning to rewrite behaviors long thought to be fixed.
