Highland rescue dog Miracle has been shortlisted in the finals of the Amplifon Awards for Brave Britons in the Hero Pet category after rising to fame on Britain's Got Talent.

A “miracle” rescue dog who has found a new home in the Highlands has been shortlisted for an award after rising to fame on Britain’s Got Talent.

Eight-year-old Miracle from Beauly first graced television screens across the country in May after performing a show-stopping magic trick on the ITV Show alongside owner Amanda Leask

Their heartwarming performance left the judges overcome with emotion, taking them through to the semi-finals.

Their rise to fame comes just a few years after the 50-year-old Inverness woman saved the crossbreed from a ship bound from Thailand to Vietnam.

She discovered Miracle in a cage with more 1,000 other dogs, saving him from being served up for human consumption.

He is now one of more than 40 dogs, most of them rescues, owned by Mrs Leask.

The brave canine has now been shortlisted as a finalist in the fifth annual Amplifon Award for Brave Britons.

Speaking of their journey, Mrs Leask said: “We didn’t know Miracle was alive at first, but when a rescuer’s camera flash went off in the cage where he was being held, he opened his eyes and we knew we had to get him out of there.

“It was a miracle that he was alive, which is why we gave him the name Miracle.”

The Highland pooch has reached the final four in the Hero Pet category as global hearing aid specialist Amplifon searches for unsung heroes who represent the “Best of British”.

This year’s winners will be selected by a panel of esteemed judges including guest of honour, Falklands conflict hero Simon Weston.

An awards lunch will be held virtually on Tuesday, October 13, to announce the lucky prize winners.

In 2015 Miracle won Rescue Animal of the Year at the Animal Hero awards and the Eukanuba Crufts Friends for Life award.

Well-liked Medicare plan vs. higher-ranked providers - ChicagoNow

Medicare Open Enrollment ends December 7. The easy choice is to stay with all-in-one Medicare Advantage instead of switching to Traditional Medicare plus a supplement and drug plan. The hard one is whether to switch between Medicare Advantage plans, from a well-liked one to one accepted at a so-called top-10 hospital. Humana Gold Plus, a Medicare Advantage HMO, has served me well for five years. Hearing aids cost me only $10 after its $2,000 allowance. Routine doctor and dentist appointments and my medication cost nothing. But Humana Gold Plus is not accepted by Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the nearby hospital that US News & World Report ranks as the tenth best in the country, or by Northwestern Medicine physicians. My primary care physician is in an Advocate Medical Group. If I were hospitalized, it would be at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. If I had a serious illness, I’d see specialists in Advocate’s network. Illinois Masonic is not a second-rate hospital, and...
