After being tagged in a post by a fellow Christian musician, Forrest Frank has written yet another song. 

This time, his song is dedicated to Crowder, who broke his leg and underwent emergency surgery.

"Apparently, I am the broken bone guy, cause he tagged me in his post," said Forrest in a reel on Instagram. "Not to be cliche, but God is turning lemons into lemonade always, if you will allow him to."

Winnipeg Animal Services is overwhelmed as it cares for an unusually high number of dogs. 

Over the past week, the agency has seen a big influx of strays. However, adoptions have slowed to almost a complete standstill.

"If you've been thinking about adopting one of our long-term dogs, now's the perfect time to make a difference," said the Winnipeg Animal Services in a post on Facebook. "Maybe this is the little nudge you needed!"

With the increase in dogs in their facility, the agency has reduced the adoption fee to help these pets find their forever homes.
