Train stops just in time before hitting a dog that had been chained to the tracks | Daily Mail Online

A train driver slammed on the brakes after spotting a terrified dog chained to the tracks – and stopped just in time before getting out to help the animal.  

Video footage of the incident, in Chile, shows the driver of the massive orange locomotive climbing down from the cab and heading towards the panicked dog.

‘How can there be people so bad, who leave little dogs tied up on the tracks,’ the driver is heard to say. 

The locomotive stops mere yards from where the dog is chained to the tracks and the driver approaches in these stills from the shocking video

‘You cannot do that. I hope someday the human race changes.’

The dog, clearly terrified from what can be seen, can be heard barking and growling as it pulls on the chain in a bid to escape. 

Local media reported that the driver released the pooch and it ran away from the scene immediately.

The incident took place in the town and commune of Llay-Llay, in the central Chilean region of Valparaiso and the video that was posted online has received over 137,000 views. 

The Llay-Llay municipal council confirmed that a criminal complaint for animal abuse will be filed against those who tied the dog up. An investigation has since been launched.

‘We are shocked by the cruelty seen in our society,’ said Llay-Llay Mayor Edgardo Gonzalez.

‘We condemn and reject this incident against a defenceless animal, and we are thankful for the behaviour of the driver who saved its life.

‘As a municipality, we are taking the actions that need to be done [and are filing] a criminal complaint against the culprits and we also contacted the driver to offer our help to give this little dog the veterinary attention and other things it needs. 

‘We will also find a way of putting the little dog up for adoption.’

Concerned social media user Catalina Arriaza Bustos said: ‘Poor little dog, how can anyone be so cruel? Thanks sir for stopping the train and helping this beautiful animal, God bless you.’

It is unclear what happened to the dog. It is also unclear if the train was a cargo train or a passenger train.

How to train your brain to have lucid dreams – Neuroscience News

Summary: A sleep researcher shares the secrets for training your brain to experience lucid dreams. Source: The Conversation Dreams can often be confusing and blurry experiences . Reduced critical thinking, little to no access to our true memories and heightened impulsivity and emotions during normal dream states often make for head-scratching moments when our eyes first open in the morning. But dreams don’t always play out this way. More than half of us have at least once in their lifetime experienced awareness of dreaming in the moment and, in some cases, the ability to direct a dream like a sleepy Steven Spielberg. Nearly a quarter of us report lucid dreaming once a month or more. Two key changes in the brain appear responsible for these states. The frontotemporal cortex, which controls our higher cognitive abilities and is inhibited during normal dreams, shows higher activation during lucid dreams. Researchers also observe an increase in gamma waves , synchronised firing by

A veteran in hospice care is reunited with his dog one last time | MNN – Mother Nature Network

After being admitted into hospice care, veteran John Vincent had just one special request: He wanted to spend a little time with his beloved dog. Vincent, a 69-year-old Marine who fought in Vietnam, was placed into the Hospice Center at the Raymond G. Murphy Veterans Affairs Medical Center in New Mexico. Because he had no family in the area to care for his pet, he had to give up his 6-year-old Yorkshire terrier mix named Patch to the Albuquerque Animal Welfare, the organization posted on Facebook . Knowing he likely didn’t have much time left, Vincent told Amy Neal, his palliative care social worker, that he wanted to say goodbye to Patch and see him one last time. Neal reached out to the city’s animal welfare department. “It was an immediate ‘yes’ from us,” Adam Ricci, Albuquerque Animal Welfare chief of field operations, told CNN . “So, we worked with the VA to get things organized.” Patch spent the day on Vincent’s bed.

Experts reveal health benefits of a banana based on its colour – and what brown spots REALLY mean | Daily Mail Online

As one of the cheapest and most satiating fruits, bananas are up there with the most popular snacks you can buy.  And while their health benefits are widely known, few are aware of how the ripeness of a banana impacts on its nutritional make-up. So to help make it clear, Australian sports dietitian Ryan Pinto recently shared a graphic about the various benefits – and why eating an over-ripe banana may not be a great idea.  ‘The best way to understand how the health of a banana can change is by investigating what really happens to them internally over time,’ he wrote on his page, High Performance Nutrition AU .  Australian sports dietitian Ryan Pinto recently shared a graphic about the various benefits of bananas at different stages – and why eating an over-ripe banana may not be a great idea Green bananas  According to Ryan, green bananas are ‘youthful, low FODMAP and full of starch’. ‘Referred to as “resistant” starch, this nutrient makes your digestive system work a little ha
