Austin dog becomes first to walk around the world

An Austin dog finished her seven-year trek around the globe alongside her best friend, Tom Turcich.

Motivated to make the most of his life after the passing of a close friend, Turcich set off on a 25,000-mile walk across the world in 2015. The New Jersey resident started out alone, but soon realized he needed more protection while camping in unknown areas around the globe, an Austin Pets Alive! spokesperson told KXAN.

A spokesperson for APA! told KXAN that this was “the most amazing story that APA! has ever been a part of.”

Pride month kicks off

Happy Pride Month from KXAN!

Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall riots, which began June 28, 1969. The riots occurred after New York City Police’s Public Morals Squad raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, and attempted to arrest the patrons. A crowd grew outside of the bar and fought back against the police.

Over the next few days, the uprising became a movement. The first Pride marches were in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago on the first anniversary of the riots in 1970.

This Saturday will also see the return of Queerbomb to Austin for the first time since 2019 and the event’s 12th non-consecutive year. And AGE of Central Texas will host its first-ever LGBTQ+ Caregivers Conference on June 11.
