Little Fish features not our real disease (it was in the can before COVID-19) but an invented one in which healthy people lose chunks of their identities bit by bit or all at once. Think Alzheimer s, but a more aggressive and unpredictable affliction, and one that hits a shocking percentage of the world s population. Crucially for this story, it strikes the young as well as the old, so a couple who are barely past their wedding day (Olivia Cooke and Jack O Connell) can have their beautiful lives torn apart by it in slow motion. Based on a short story by Aja Gabel, it makes a global crisis intensely personal, even romantic.
At the Randolph County Rescue Squad Christmas party last week, an announcement was made that the squad now has a new search dog.
The dog used in the past was owned by squad member Cory Strength, but due to some medical issues, the dog had to be put down. The new dog named Survivor is owned by squad member Josh Crockett of Roanoke.
Survivor was born on Jan. 31 of this year, being the only puppy of 12 to survive. In order for him to have any hope of surviving, the only thing Crockett and his wife knew to do was start bottle feeding him on day 3. By the time he was big enough to start eating on his own, Crockett s wife would place his food in different places throughout the house and let him try to find it.
