"At about 1445 hours today, Pak army initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms along LoC in Khari Karmara sector in district Poonch", defence spokesman said. He said that Indian army retaliated befittingly. Pakistan troops had violated ceasefire on Sunday too by targeting several sectors in Poonch. On October 1, one army jawan was killed and another injured, when Pakistan army violated ceasefire and resorted to heavy firing and mortar shelling along the LoC in Krishnagati area of Poonch district, officials said. On September 5, an army personnel was killed and two others, including an officer, were injured as Pakistani troops violated ceasefire in Sunderbani sector of Rajouri district, officials said. While on September 2, a JCO was killed in ceasefire violation by Pakistan army along LoC in Keri sector of Rajouri.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A couple's dog spotted an escaped inmate on their property.</li><li>Tucker has been heartily rewarded with treats and ball-playing since he helped capture the wanted man. </li></ul>Tucker the chocolate lab mix is a very good boy.The 6-year-old dog helped capture an escaped jail inmate this weekend — and may have earned his proud owners a $22,000 reward in the process.Ron and Cindy Ecklund were sitting on their patio in Warren County, Pennsylvania, on Saturday when Tucker "just suddenly jumped up and ran barking to the creek."Cindy and Ron called Tucker back, but strangely, he wouldn't come.Ron told Insider that their pup seemed "more aggressive than normal." They figured it was probably just a fisherman down by the creek, so the couple decided to follow their pooch down to the water, with Ron in a golf cart and Cindy on foot. Once they got to the creek, they saw a man's head pop up over a four-foot-tall bank; he told them he was camping, the couple said.Cindy Ecklund said she and her husband immediately recognized the man as Michael Charles Burham, an escaped inmate who had been held on kidnapping charges at the Warren County Jail and was a suspect in a New York homicide case.During the week-long manhunt for Burham, his picture had been all over the news, the couple told Insider."My husband said, 'Get in the golf cart,'" Cindy Ecklund said. The couple immediately called 911. Durham had escaped jail by climbing through the metal grates in the jail yard's roof and lowering himself down using tied-together bedsheets, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pa-couple-helped-nab-survivalist-inmate-said-knew-immediately-spotted-rcna94514" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News reported, citing authorities.</a> Police swarmed the area and arrested Durham in the woods after getting the tip, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/pennsylvania-escaped-fugitive-murder-suspect-michael-burham-taken-into-custody">Fox News reported</a>.Over the past few days, Tucker has been heartily rewarded for his top-notch guard dog skills, with visitors coming to congratulate him for a job well done. "He has had plenty of treats and actually, we had one person already drop off a balloon and a bag full of goodies for him. So yes, he's been very spoiled since this all happened," Cindy Ecklund said. She added that everybody who's stopped by has played with Tucker and his beloved ball: "He was very tuckered out yesterday."In addition to capturing a wanted fugitive, Tucker may have earned the Ecklunds a hefty sum of money. The couple thinks they're eligible to receive a $22,000 reward authorities had offered for tips on the whereabouts of Burham, according to NBC News.Three agencies contributed to the $22,000 sum — the United States Marshal's Service, Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers, and Warren County Crime Stoppers — and generally each distributes its own portion to rewardees. The Warren County District Attorney confirmed to Insider that the Ecklunds will be receiving $2,000 of the reward from the Warren County Crime Stoppers on Tuesday.And Philip Cornelious of the US Marshal's Service said he believes the couple will also be getting $10,000 of the reward from his agency. He added, "We wouldn't have caught [Burham] when we caught him, without [the Ecklunds]. So I will do everything in my power to ensure that they get every cent." The Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers did not immediately respond to Insider's request about if they will distribute their portion of the reward: the remaining $10,000.

A couple says their dog is getting 'spoiled' with treats after he alerted them to an escaped inmate on their property &mdash; and may have earned them a $22,000 reward

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Luxury brands like Prada and Versace have launched pet collections in the past couple of years.</li><li>Industry experts say millennials with deeper pockets want to upgrade their pets' wardrobes.</li></ul>This past spring, accessories designer Anya Hindmarch opened her latest store in the affluent London district of Belgravia. Unlike her other five stores, which sell items like tote bags that say <a href="https://us.anyahindmarch.com/pages/im-not-a-plastic-bag">"I'm Not a Plastic Bag,"</a> A. Houndmarch, as she called it, served beef pâté, duck sausages, and cookies. <div type="image" title="Anya Hindmarch" height="1506" width="2008" msid="95067530" hostid="261" sizebytes="133420"></div>But the shop isn't a café — it's a pop-up aimed squarely at an entirely new group of customer: dogs. Pets are a prime market right now, thanks in part to the pandemic. <a href="https://americanpetproducts.org/Uploads/MarketResearchandData/2021StateoftheIndustryPresentationDeck.pdf">A 2021 report by the American Pet Products Association</a> found that ownership of small animals, fish, and reptiles increased 30% in the US in 2020, with retail sales of treats, pet supplies, and vet care rising 6.7% year-over-year. Thirty percent of pet owners said they spent more on their pets and pet supplies in 2020 than in 2019. In Hindmarch's home territory, <a href="https://www.pfma.org.uk/news/pfma-releases-latest-pet-population-data">more than 3.2 million British households</a> acquired a pet over the course of the pandemic, the Pet Food Manufacturers' Association reported last year, contributing to a total of 34 million pets in the country.Pet care is one of the few industries that's shown to <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/a-recession-proof-industry-you-can-count-on-pet-care-2019-07-02">stand steady</a>, <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/chwy-frpt-the-best-and-worst-stocks-in-a-recession-proof-industry">if not grow</a>, in times of economic crisis. And with more people working from home, some are using money that might otherwise have been spent on commuting to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/01/07/covid-dogs-return-to-work/">splurge</a> on their adoration for the new family dog.Our increasing tendency to anthropomorphize dogs is a factor, too. The more we treat them as substitute humans, the likelier we are to spend on luxury treats for them — and a few canny businesses have spotted the potential for profit.<h2>Designer brands are increasingly moving beyond human customers to 4-legged ones</h2>At A. Houndmarch, along with dog treats, customers can buy £150 dog collars and £125 poop bags (and poop-bag charms) and mingle with dog therapists and caricaturists. Over the five weeks the pop-up was open to the public, Hindmarch told Insider that more than 3,000 dogs and their owners passed through its door. "It was so charming, and such an insight into humanity and what pets really do for people," she said. "It really showed their soft underbelly."<div type="image" title="A storefront" height="4480" width="5973" msid="95067532" hostid="261" sizebytes="1177512"></div>Hindmarch's short-lived project is just the latest sign of the opportunities available in the upscale pet market, especially for dog owners. Countless designer brands have added capsule collections for pets in recent months:<a href="https://www.inputmag.com/style/pradas-luxury-dog-swag-turns-your-pooch-into-the-goodest-hypebeast-ever"> For its holiday 2020 collection, Prada launched a line of dog puffers and coats</a> starting at $495. <a href="https://firstclasse.com.my/versace-pet-collection/">In summer 2021, Versace expanded its homeware collection to cater to pets,</a> no doubt inspired by Donatella's own Jack Russell, Audrey.<a href="https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-features/designer-pet-accessories-luxury-prada-versace-1234991175/">A few months later,</a> the clothing boutique DSquared launched a pooch-skewing offering, while Hermès<a href="https://hypebae.com/2021/8/hermes-dog-bowls-pets-accessories-oak-wood-release-price-info"> bolstered its capsule collection of pet products, including leashes, with new items like a $1,100 wooden dog bowl.</a><h2>The new market for luxury dog accessories is aimed at owners looking to treat themselves, too</h2>Kristen Boesel, a senior lifestyles and leisure analyst at the market-research firm Mintel, has been tracking the luxury pet sector for four years. She told Insider the rise in demand is fueled mainly by wealthy millennials. "As they become higher earners than before, they can spend on things that have less of a functional purpose," she said. "And as they're having children later, they're adopting pets and transferring some of their parenting urges onto them first. It has created an opportunity for niche products that makes pets' lives more comfortable. It's about pampering their dogs now and giving them the best."Hindmarch said she stumbled into her pup-powered project almost accidentally, after launching a different collection the previous year and seeing that response. "It was all things you might need when walking, so a dog-poop bag was part of it — that was the piece that showed us the potential to expand the project because it sold so well," she said. "And we said, 'OK, let's lean into dogs, because it's a fun area, and we love fashion with a purpose.'" The project was more than just a PR stunt for Hindmarch — it acted as a bridge to a new clientele that would help expand her business. "Our customers for sure are passionate dog people, but we could also reach a new customer: 'pilgrims' who are dog lovers and came for that. They might look at other products as well." It's a strategy that underpins the move into products made for man's best friend from Prada and others — once your dog sports a spiffy new puffer, why wouldn't you want to match their outfit on a walk? <div type="image" title="Mandy Madden Kelly" height="2505" width="3333" msid="95067535" hostid="261" sizebytes="270138"></div>Pagerie, a luxury pet brand that just launched a collection aimed as much at humans as at dogs, hopes this will be the case. Mandy Madden Kelley, a New Zealander now living in LA, launched Pagerie two years ago, having leveraged her social-media fame as a<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mandymadd/?hl=en"> beauty and fashion influencer</a> to get started and find customers in this new sector."All these individuals, dressed head to toe in Chanel, in Dior, or Prada — I remember thinking to myself, 'Wow they look stunning, absolutely flawless,'" she said. "They would always bring their dogs with them, though, and there was a disconnect between what they were wearing and what their pets had."<div type="image" title="A model with a dog on a leash" height="3889" width="5186" msid="95067537" hostid="261" sizebytes="339424"></div>Pagerie aims to close the style gap, offering items like <a href="https://www.pagerie.com/products/the-pochette-luxury-waste-bag-holder">a $152 poop-bag dispenser</a> and a<a href="https://www.pagerie.com/products/the-tascher-luxury-leash"> $525 leash</a> — all packaged in a dust bag with an authenticity card, much like a designer purchase. The leather items are made in Europe, and Madden Kelley said her manufacturer was a favorite of many Paris-based luxury brands. "I'd struggled to find something good quality as a pet owner myself," she said. "The only thing on the market was the typical high-end fashion brand, making very basic collars and slapping their logo on them and calling it a day. I wanted something more sustainable, durable, and meaningful."<div type="image" title="A collection of leashes and collars for dogs" height="1124" width="1499" msid="95067539" hostid="261" sizebytes="63500"></div>In June, Madden Kelley launched her latest collection, one expressly intended to go beyond outfitting upscale pups. The four designs include a $280 chain collar made from hypoallergenic stainless steel and available in four sizes that's worn on the website by both a human and a cat; a <a href="https://www.pagerie.com/products/simone-luxury-leather-harness">$585 leash</a> ideal for walking a feline or a toy dog; <a href="https://www.pagerie.com/products/the-hiro-leather-belt-bag">and a $950 belt bag</a> for owners. "In LA, people love to go to Runyon Canyon, and I see them hiking with their dog on the weekends and they're doing some type of phone call, multitasking at the same time. The belt bag is designed so you can attach your dog to it and be hands-free. It's for the fast-paced lifestyle," Madden Kelley said.<h2>Trends in human fashion are reflected in what our dogs wear</h2>Flint Beamon has also seen an increasing overlap in what dogs and their owners wear. He's the cofounder of the Texas-based <a href="https://www.bcdk.store/">Barkin Creek Dog Kitchen</a>, an upscale dog brand that offers gourmet food as well as toys, accessories, and grooming. "If you'd told me a year ago I'd be selling beige and nude-pink collars and leashes, I'd have said, 'Of course not,' but now<a href="https://www.gq.com/gallery/the-unabridged-history-of-kanye-west-as-fashion-designerand-the-11-year-road-to-todays-adidas-show"> Ye</a> and <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fskims.com%2Fblogs%2Ftv%2Fkim-kardashian-west-on-the-skims-body-collection">Kim Kardashian</a> are producing products in these colors — people follow the trends," he told Insider. When news broke that<a href="https://www.insider.com/lady-gaga-dog-walker-shot-dogs-stolen-2021-2"> Lady Gaga's injured dog walker</a> used<a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwildone.com%2F"> Wild One accessories</a>, Beamon added, sales of that brand at his store spiked.<div type="image" title="A cat with a chain" height="1124" width="1499" msid="95067541" hostid="261" sizebytes="105390"></div>Beamon estimated his firm's food costs around 15% more per serving than an average bag of dog kibble but said there's a ready market for a premium pet food. "Humans have started to read the back of products, the labels, and that translates into their pets, too — that's the 'Oh, really?' moment that's great for us," he said. "We have people from all walks of life coming in. I have little old ladies on Social Security, someone who wants to make sure she's feeding her 12-year-old toothless chihuahua something they can eat and enjoy."Data supports Beamon's thesis. Mintel <a href="https://www.mintel.com/press-centre/social-and-lifestyle/whatever-it-takes-47-of-us-pet-owners-say-they-are-willing-to-go-into-debt-to-pay-for-their-pets-medical-care">conducted an in-depth study in 2020</a> that found the market for pet-care products and services had grown 30% in the preceding five years, powered mostly by pet food. Eighty percent of those Mintel surveyed said they enjoyed spoiling their pet.Boesel recalled a focus group that exemplified this mindset. "One woman told us she might switch from serving her dog chicken breasts to chicken thighs, but she'd rather just buy a cheaper Scotch for herself," she said.As its name makes clear, Barkin Creek Dog Kitchen focuses squarely on dogs rather than cats — mostly, Beamon said, because the business opportunity is much bigger as a result of the different ways we live with each. "Dogs? You take them out in public, but cats stay home — you can't show off the way you can with a dog." Hindmarch agreed with that sentiment. "The market for dogs is more intense. Cats you tend to leave at home. You don't travel with them, they can be left because they're so much more independent. Dogs are more dependent, so the relationship is much deeper. And with my commercial hat on, that means the opportunity is bigger."

Instead, Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley were met by at least a dozen civilian boats that crowded the scene, despite warnings from the US Coast Guard.As Morgan McFall-Johnsen <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-flag-boat-disrupts-live-nasa-astronaut-spacex-landing-2020-8">reported for Business Insider on Sunday</a>:After landing, the capsule bobbed in the ocean for about 15 minutes as professional recovery boats sped to retrieve the astronauts — but they weren't alone on the water.The landing site off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, drew a crowd of onlookers in their own boats. Some got close to the spaceship, including a boat flying a Trump flag that sped into view of NASA's live feed.These boaters endangered themselves and others when they decided to approach the area around the spacecraft's landing, according to a statement from the Coast Guard, which was on the scene to supervise. <div type="image" title="crew dragon demo2 splashdown trump flag boat" height="424" width="750" msid="77337540" hostid="261"></div><h2>The Coast Guard can't do much</h2>But, ultimately, the Coast Guard can't punish the curious seafarers with fines, or by revoking their licenses: The SpaceX craft landed in international waters. As John Michelli, a spokesperson for the Coast Guard's eighth district, wrote in an email to Business Insider (emphasis ours):The Coast Guard does not have authority to establish restricted areas for these types of events beyond the navigable waterways of the United States, which in most cases is 12-nautical miles from shore. Without a duly established restricted area, the Coast Guard can advise the boating public of potential safety concerns but cannot issue fines or other violations to recreational boaters who encroached within the recovery zone.<h2>'Screwed the pooch'</h2>Still, the Coast Guard, NASA, and SpaceX could have handled the situation better, said Florida-based personal injury attorney Matt Dolman, who specializes in boating accidents. "NASA screwed the pooch," Dolman said. "They didn't cordon off the area."Still, SpaceX was in charge of the operation, with NASA and the Coast Guard in supporting roles. "We probably need more Coast Guard assets, maybe some more SpaceX and NASA assets as well. What's important is that Bob and Doug got safely on the boat, we were able to keep the area clear for landing, and then ask people to move back as they came a little bit too close," Gwynne Shotwell, the president and COO of SpaceX, said during a post-splashdown briefing. "This was a demonstration mission. This is the time that you go learn about these things. And we'll certainly be better prepared next time."The crowd of boats "was not what we were anticipating," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in the same briefing. The Coast Guard had cleared the area ahead of the landing, but after the capsule splashed down, "the boats just made a beeline for it," he said. "We need to do a better job next time for sure."Cordoning off a 10-square-mile area of the Gulf of Mexico would be, of course, be challenging, and require scores of boats and helicopters to make sure boaters weren't drifting into the area. To avoid that massive build-up of resources, Dolman had another, cheaper suggestion for the Coast Guard: Giving boaters several days of advanced notice. The Coast Guard did issue a broadcast notice to mariners on July 29, four days before the scheduled splashdown, along with a radio notice to boaters in the area two hours prior. Those boaters who were in the area were deliberate about going to the site of the splashdown, Dolman said. "It wasn't as if the boaters were just wandering in the area — they would get an alert," he said. Still, not everyone listens to their boat radio. A warning several days in advance that's published in local media would make clear to mariners to stay away from the area. "That's where NASA was kind of ignorant," Dolman said. "They should have published this five to seven days ahead of time."Michelli said the Coast Guard will review the operations — and the unwanted disruption — with NASA and SpaceX. This was the first water landing of a spacecraft since the 1970s, but it's unlikely to be the last."The development of lessons learned will be our next priority moving forward," Michelli wrote in an email. "The results of those lessons learned may yield further consideration to zones and the enforcement authorities of those zones."Morgan McFall-Johnsen contributed reporting. <h2>Read more about the historic SpaceX landing of the NASA spacecraft</h2><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-space-station-spacex-landing-site-line-of-boats-2020-8">A cosmonaut in space photographed SpaceX's Crew Dragon landing site — and a 'beeline' of boats speeding toward it</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-flag-boat-disrupts-live-nasa-astronaut-spacex-landing-2020-8">A boat flying a Trump flag approached SpaceX's spaceship after the astronauts landed.
