• AI Brought Grayson Home for Christmas (shellypalmer.com) — A Plano family’s 11-year-old cat, Grayson, is home for Christmas after slipping out of their garage and surviving more than three months on his own. An AI-powered Petco Love Lost photo database matched his image after a Good Samaritan reported finding him, highlighting how new tech is helping reunite local families with lost pets.
   

• Viral Video Shows Horse Strolling Through Dallas Target (koolfmabilene.com) — Shoppers at a Dallas Target were stunned when a woman casually led her horse through the aisles, a stunt that quickly went viral on TikTok. The writer compares the odd scene to a recent incident in a Plano Spirit Halloween, where a loose pet monkey caused chaos. The piece ultimately urges common sense about bringing animals into stores, outside of true service animals.
