SUMMARY: Autumn Harper, a 24-year-old mother, has been arrested and charged with the murder of her eight-month-old son, Sterling Rogers, in Washington Parish. Despite claims from Harper’s mother, Natasha Hano, that her daughter was a caring parent who frequently checked on her child, investigators revealed evidence of severe abuse. The infant was rushed to the hospital after being found in distress, where he later passed away from significant injuries including broken bones and skull fractures. Harper admitted to the abuse during police questioning, and while further arrests may occur, authorities currently believe she acted alone.

SUMMARY: Guide Dogs of Texas recently celebrated its membership with the Metro San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. During the event, CEO Patrick Glin highlighted the nonprofit’s mission of breeding, raising, and training guide dogs for the visually impaired across Texas. Founded in 1989, the organization was created to prevent families from traveling far for guide dogs. The puppies undergo a raising program before formal training begins at 14-16 months. The impact of these guide dogs includes enhanced mobility, social connections, and improved employability for clients. The event showcased not only their work but also the adorable dogs making a difference in the community.
