Happy ending for NYC man who went to jail rather than give up dog
NY Post
It was a ruff battle, but Brooklynite Barry Myrick is on his way to owning his beloved former canine co-worker Roxy — after going to jail in his fight to keep her — and he has a Post reader to thank.
“I was on pins and needles during the negotiations, but I keep Roxy — that’s the most important thing,” the 37-year-old, who recently signed the settlement paperwork, told The Post. “She’s all mine, forever.” Myrick was a bedbug inspector who worked alongside Roxy for four years until the start of the pandemic last March, when he chose a voluntary layoff rather than pivot to working as a COVID cleaner without the pit bull mix.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
