Businesses the world over have had to weather massive disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As they gradually recover from the shock, some of them have decided to show their appreciation to their employees for standing by them during the tough year.


The latest to do so is owner of a pizza shop in Ohio, United States, who gave an entire day’s profits to his employees to express gratitude.


In a Facebook video on “Employee Appreciation Day,” the owner, Josh Elchert, urged people to buy pizzas and assure that “none of the money” was coming back to the pizza shop on that day.


“Every cent, all the tips, all the orders, anything that comes in today, is going directly to our employees that work today,” he posted.

 An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.

The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.

Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.

The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.

Stuck parrot

 Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.

San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.

Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.

“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
