Milford dog owner dies leaving haunting Woof Woof missing
In Milford Connecticut a Samoyed named Woof Woof disappeared after two months of haunting tenants in Apartment C following Patricia Donahue’s death. Housing officials and neighbors had sought eviction and animal control action as back rent and neglect grew, while the dog was removed by one of Donahue’s sons as officers prepared to intervene.

Appeals court blocks Yankees stadium referendum ballot
An appellate court in Manhattan ruled the proposed stadium question cannot appear on the November ballot. The ruling supports Mayor Giuliani’s push for a new $1 billion ballpark, preserving the charter commission process and overturning an earlier Bronx judge ruling that the public could vote. Critics say the move aims to sidestep a public vote on relocating the Yankees to Manhattan.
