Here are three of the top stories in San Diego today:

1. Maritime smuggling has increased over the past few years. More and more often, Border Patrol agents have been working the San Diego Bay area with the Border Patrol Marine Unit. Now, the marine unit has added K-9s🐕to find drugs. The goal for now is to help the K-9s to become comfortable at sea. K-9s can be trained to help find drugs such as fentanyl. Right now, smugglers are bringing in M30, little blue pills, which have increasing amounts of fentanyl. "Someone picks one up, you can ingest it, and you can die immediately because you won't have the tolerance for that, just a little bit of fentanyl, like a grain of sand can kill you," explains Patricia McGurk-Daniel, chief patrol agent for the San Diego Sector. The Border Patrol Marine Unit here in San Diego looks forward to the day when the K-9s will be ready to find drugs and save lives. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link.

2. It’s called ‘Fresh Glass,’ and it is a TV show that will present BIPOC (Black Indigenous and People of Color) and women entrepreneurs in the wine and beer industry. Described as a lifestyle show, it will spotlight food🥘and beverage🍷🍺business owners in and around San Diego. The show is the brainchild of Cassandra Schaeg who is herself an entrepreneur. Catch ‘Fresh Glass’ at 8:30 p.m. this Thursday on KPBS-TV. To learn more: Click into parenthesis, then click the link. (KPBS)
3. Want a🐶dog that’s not a puppy? Well, right now the San Diego Humane Society has 172 adult dogs hoping to find their forever homes. The usual adoption fee has been waived through Sept. 18 and the dogs have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated. "This has been a challenging summer for us, with a lot of animals coming through our doors in need of our help," said San Diego Humane Society CEO and President Dr. Gary Weitzman. "Now, we're asking the community to help us help them by opening their hearts and homes to a new family member." Take a look. Maybe the perfect dog is just waiting for you.

• San Diego Zoo: "When catching prey, you need to be e-fish-ent 🐟 Not all cats dislike water and fishing cats are here to prove it. With webbing between their toes, this cat can swim like a pro. Their special paws also allow them to walk through muddy wetlands without sinking." (San Diego Zoo via Instagram)
