## Resource

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: a man dressed as Spider-Man for Superhero Day helped a wheelchair user cross a busy Arkansas intersection and the act went viral after police posted traffic-camera footage; a Nebraska family reunited with their missing dog, Chung, found 642 miles away after five years despite a microchip complication; the Phenom 300 EV business jet will add Garmin’s emergency auto land system, inspired by the 1999 Payne Stewart crash; Oakland Parks, Rec, and Youth Development is lending sports equipment like a library to reduce youth sports costs and expand access; and a Florida family’s security camera alerted them to an eight-foot alligator at their door, which police and a licensed trapper safely removed.
