About this episode

Johnny Mac shares five uplifting stories including the recovery of a lost dog and environmental successes in Croatia and Kazakhstan.

Johnny Mac shares five positive stories: Croatia has been declared free of landmines after more than two decades of demining following the 1990s Balkan Wars, removing about 107,000 mines at a cost of over $1 billion and the lives of 40–60 deminers. In Kazakhstan, a rewilding program is restoring habitat for tigers by planting tens of thousands of trees and supporting prey species; a breeding pair from the Netherlands is adapting in a semi-wild reserve, and saiga antelope have rebounded from 48,000 in 2005 to over 1.9 million. Scientists are developing an experimental cancer treatment using engineered bacteria to grow inside oxygen-poor tumor cores and better tolerate oxygen. A first-edition shadowless base set Charizard card sold for $40,000. Finally, a dog named Rocky was recovered after 43 days lost in Colorado mountains, aided by Summit Lost Pet Rescue.
