• Pasadena dog saved from burning home greets firefighter rescue teams (dailynews.com) — Arcadia Fire Department paramedics are being thanked for saving Milo, a 6-year-old Shetland Sheepdog pulled unconscious from a Pasadena house fire near the Arcadia border. Using a special pet oxygen mask they revived him within minutes, and the grateful family later hosted a press conference, gifting shirts to Arcadia, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre firefighters. 
• Report: Chinese Billionaire Has Fathered Up to 300 Children in US Through Surrogacy ' American Greatness (amgreatness.com) — Arcadia residents may recall the high-profile raid on a local mansion where police removed 21 children and uncovered an alleged large-scale surrogacy operation run by a Chinese couple. That case is now being cited in a broader national debate over commercial surrogacy, birthright citizenship, and how loosely regulated California's surrogacy industry has become.
