Manhattanhenge Miracle

This is Manhattanhenge. It happens twice a year during the spring and autumn equinoxes when the sun sets over New York City and all the streets on the city grid are illuminated similar to the solstice at Stonehenge.

1,500 Dogs and 200 Cats

Ha Wenjin from China has sold almost everything she owned to open the largest animal shelter in China. More than 1,500 dogs and 200 cats live there right now. The shelter has 10 workers who look after the dogs and 2 workers who take care of the cats. It costs around $37,500 a year to run the shelter. But now Ha Wenjin has even more problems. The Chinese official reclaimed the land the shelter is built on. So the woman is looking for a new place. It has to be far away enough from people's houses, because 1,500 dogs are not quiet.
