It had been three days since the fatal car accident in which the schnauzer’s owner was killed on June 5 in Pingtung County’s Wandan Township, but the faithful dog has been staying around the site of the crash. Concerned locals have been leaving food for the dog, and some have come forward offering to adopt it. Unfortunately, the dog is scared and runs away at the sight of people. As a result, it is difficult to keep track of its whereabouts. The deceased owner’s relatives have asked people in the neighborhood to let them know if they manage to catch it, so they can take it back home.
Wandan Township Chief Kuo Bao-lien has been moved by the story and says that the township office is willing to help and prevent the dog from becoming a stray. In the meantime, the office will look into the situation at the crossroads in an effort to reduce the number of traffic accidents there.
Jiasing Village Chief Lin Cheng-hsiu went to the site on June 7 to offer incense and burn ghost money in honor of the dead and pray that the owner could protect his dog and have it return home safely. Lin also asked the police to install a warning light at the crossroads to prevent further tragic accidents.

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the depths of the Pacific Ocean: oxygen production without the involvement of living organisms. Four kilometers below the surface where sunlight cannot reach, researchers have found metallic lumps generating what they term “dark oxygen.” This form of oxygen is produced through a process independent of photosynthesis. Unlike the traditional photosynthesis process, where organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create energy and oxygen, the newly discovered phenomenon operates in complete darkness. The accidental finding occurred during a study of metal-rich lumps in an abyssal plain between Hawaii and Mexico. These lumps, known as

A: In addition to “Inside Out 2” at the top, what were the other highest-grossing films domestically last year? B: “Gatao: Like Father, Like Son” was the only Taiwanese movie among the top 10 blockbusters, which included five animated films. A: I’m surprised that the Taiwanese hit “The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon” wasn’t on the chart. B: But it grossed over 500 million Chinese yuan in China, which is nearly NT$2.5 billion. The figure was five times higher than that of the best-selling film in Taiwan. A: Its success shows that Taiwanese movies should go international. A:
A Cameroon-flagged cargo vessel “Shunxin-39” was believed to have caused damage to an undersea cable of Taiwan telecoms operator Chunghwa Telecom on the morning of Jan. 3. It was suspected that the Chinese merchant ship, which was registered with the nationality of another country, deliberately cut off the cable by dragging the anchor over it. While the incident is still under investigation, China has a long history of using maritime tactics to sabotage Taiwan’s infrastructure. In February last year, two cables linking Taiwan to its outlying Matsu Islands were damaged within days of each other by a Chinese fishing
