TikTok users warned to be wary of the 'This Is Danny' dog scam
A TikTok user has issued a warning about an alleged dog scam circulating online. Noah (@noahglenncarter) claimed that people are sharing a photo of an injured dog named Danny covered in porcupine needles that need to be removed at the vet for a fee. He alleged that many accounts are cropping up online dedicated to helping Danny the dog – but they're all fake. "I really hope that not many people have fallen for this so far, but I highly doubt that because if you see this on your FYP, I imagine that you're gonna want to try as much as you can," Noah said. "Without knowing they're just trying to get your money from you, you're probably going to want to help this dog because it looks very, very painful." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Noah's clip was soon flooded with comments from fellow users: "THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS!!! It’s gotten so out of hand that it’s honestly tiring now," one person wrote Another added: "I swear I saw that picture in 2022 or so." Meanwhile, a third added: "This is wild, who in their right mind would ever do this." @noahglenncarter People are using this dog Danny to take what you have #foryou #danny #savedanny #foryou #dog The 'Danny photo' used in Noah's video originates from the JMK9 Dog Training Facebook page. In April, the page shared the image of the dog, writing: "This little lady couldn’t help herself and ran down a Porcupine. Any of the 3 most important commands in the world would have saved her from these daggers. Come, Leave It, Place. Don’t wait for your dog to come back to the house looking like a GSP / Porcupine Hybrid to teach these things." According to Know Your Meme, a TikTok account called "@savedannyy" cropped up online, with a slideshow of the dog. It reportedly asked for $900 to get the quills removing and provided a CashApp link to send money. Have your say in our news democracy.

Canelo vs Charlo card: Who else is fighting tonight?
It will be undisputed vs undisputed in Las Vegas tonight, as Saul “Canelo” Alvarez defends his super-middleweight belts against Jermell Charlo. Canelo, 33, is looking for a third successful title defence in a row, having outpointed John Ryder in May and old rival Gennady Golovkin 12 months ago. FOLLOW LIVE: Canelo vs Charlo – latest fight updates and results Prior to those victories, the Mexican suffered a points defeat by Dmitry Bivol in a light-heavyweight title fight in May 2022. A week after that bout, Charlo stopped Brian Castano to retain the undisputed super-welterweight titles, after the pair fought to a draw in 2021. Charlo’s twin brother Jermall was expected to box Canelo here, but the WBC middleweight champion’s two-year absence from the ring continues instead. As such, it is the (minute-)younger of the Americans, 33, who will challenge Canelo. Here’s all you need to know.

Here's how the Barbie movie has already made history
The Barbie movie has been out for mere days but it is already making history. The Greta Gerwig directed film scored a US$377m (£293m, A$560m) opening weekend around the world, making it the biggest debut ever for a film directed by a woman. Now that is the Kenergy we love to see. At the North American box office – combining the US and Canada – Barbie claimed top spot with $155m in ticket sales from 4,243 locations, surpassing The Super Mario Bros Movie and every Marvel film released this year to become the biggest opening of the year. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Internationally, Barbie earned $182m from 69 territories and women made up 65 per cent of the audience, according to PostTrak, with 40 per cent of ticket buyers under the age of 25. “It was a truly historic weekend and continues the positive box office momentum of 2023,” said Michael O’Leary, president and CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners. “People recognised that something special was happening and they wanted to be a part of it.” It comes after director Gerwig revealed the scene in Barbie that she refused to cut, despite pressure from the studio. The Academy Award-nominated director said that it was suggested she remove a scene where Barbie meets an elderly woman on a bench and tells her she’s beautiful. “I love that scene so much,” Gerwig told Rolling Stone. “And the older woman on the bench is the costume designer Ann Roth. She’s a legend. It’s a cul-de-sac of a moment, in a way - it doesn’t lead anywhere." "And in early cuts, looking at the movie, it was suggested, ‘Well, you could cut it. And actually, the story would move on just the same.’ And I said, ‘If I cut the scene, I don’t know what this movie is about.'” Have your say in our news democracy.
