Writing content involves several important factors: perplexity, burstiness, and predictability. Perplexity measures the complexity of the text, burstiness compares the variations of sentences, and predictability is the likelihood of guessing the next sentence. Human writing tends to have greater burstiness, with a mix of longer and shorter sentences, while AI writing tends to be more uniform.
Earlier this year, a shocking discovery was made on a Hawaiian beachβa dog was found buried alive. Though the person responsible for this act of cruelty has not been identified, there is a silver lining to this story. We are thrilled to announce that the dog is now living a happy and healthy life with a loving foster family. In case you missed it, a person was seen burying a dog alive at a beach in Oahu, Hawaii. The incident was immediately reported to PAWS of Hawaii, and a team of rescuers quickly arrived. The poor dog was severely sunburned, covered in sores, almost bald, and in terrible health. The dog, now named Leialoha, was taken to Aloha Affordable Veterinary Services, where she received evaluation and care from veterinarians.
Amanda Krasniewski and her husband have experience with foster pets. It all began during their vacation in St. Croix when they saw an advertisement encouraging people to fly adoptable dogs to the mainland for better chances of finding permanent homes. During their trip, they visited an animal sanctuary and decided to adopt a dog named Mocha from the overcrowded St. Croix shelter. They brought Mocha back home with them.
When Mocha was still a puppy, the couple found and adopted a stray Chow Mix named Bruce. Taking care of these two rescue dogs taught them the importance of rescuing and fostering. After moving to Hawaii, they became fosters with PAWS of Hawaii and never looked back. Fostering, as Amanda puts it, “has been an amazing way to save animals and be active in the community.” Before Leialoha, they had fostered 12 dogs. When Amanda saw PAWS of Hawaii’s Facebook post about Leialoha, she immediately reached out to the executive director to offer her help.
The first night was extremely difficult. “She smelled terrible from being buried and her skin was in disarray,” Amanda said. “She was swollen and crimson. I tried to pick her up to move her from the travel kennel to a larger dog crate, but she cried out. I honestly didn’t know if she would survive the night.” Leialoha was underweight and exhausted, needing time to recover, but she had reached a turning point. Amanda shared, “The next morning when I visited her, she wagged her tail a little. I knew she was a fighter and would fully recover from that moment on.”
Initially, Leialoha would only leave her cage to go potty. Amanda and her husband spent a lot of time at the kennel during those first few days. Gradually, Leialoha gained confidence and started venturing out from the crate to nap under the coffee table. Within two weeks, she was behaving like any other puppy. “She played nonstop with one of our dogs, caught balls with my husband, and then curled up next to me for a nap. We gave Leialoha the time and space she needed to heal and gain confidence.” Unfortunately, the adoption fell through while the Krasniewskis were on vacation, and a sick dog prevented them from taking in a new one at the time.
When the family returned from their vacation, Leialoha returned to their home, and Amandaβs husband developed a strong bond with her. She explained, “We wanted to ensure she went to her forever home and that someone didn’t want her just because she was ‘famous’. We decided keeping her was the best choice.” Thanks to Amanda and her family’s dedicated and loving care, Leialoha is now happy and healthy. She has a lot of energy and loves to play all day, according to Amanda. She can be quite noisy and demanding of attention, but she is an incredibly sweet puppy who loves everyone.
