FOXTROT’S HEROICSWITH THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME Just this past October, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to what can only be one described as one the world’s goodest boys — a dog named Foxtrot, known also to his Instagram followers (of which there are nearly 7,000) as humanitarian_pup. While Foxtrot wasn’t responsible for improvements to auction theory (like Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson, who won the Nobel Prize for economics) or for a standout career in writing poetry (like Louise Glück, who won the Nobel Prize for literature), this incredible canine shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the World Food Programme (WFP), for their work in combating world hunger. As the organization’s official mascot, Foxtrot shared in the win with the thousands of other WFP workers worldwide. Foxtrot lives in Bangladesh (one of the most densely populated countries in the world) at a WFP outpost that works to supply one of the world’s largest refugee camps. According to an NPR article that spotlighted Foxtrot and the efforts made by his WFP humans, they worked not only to get food to refugees but also to flatten hillsides to make room for shelters for Rohingya refugees fleeing Myanmar.

Someone who needs medication, either to heal after a surgery or to help them function throughout the day, depends on that prescribed drug, and they have a right to know what they are putting into their body. Any patient who is prescribed a medication, regardless of what ailment it will treat, has the right to know its potential side effects. Unfortunately, some companies choose to conceal this essential information in favor of higher profit. This is an injustice our team at Dickerson Oxton Law does not tolerate. WARNINGS AND LABELS

Of the many accidents and injuries people endure, burns are some of the most serious and damaging injuries a person can experience. Burn injuries can cost patients thousands of dollars in medical treatments. Patients often spend days or weeks in a hospital for intensive burn care. Even after they’ve been released, they may continue to suffer from permanent scarring or disability caused by the burn. What’s more, since these injuries require so much recovery time, a patient may also suffer from lost wages and a means to support themselves and their family through their work. Because the cost and severity of burn injuries vary from case to case, it can make it difficult to find the value of a burn injury settlement. However, a personal injury attorney will consider several factors to determine how much a settlement can be. These include: BURN INJURY SETTLEMENTS The Process of Getting Your Compensation
during a WFP beach cleanup in his home country. Workers found him as a 4-week-old pup, and after failing to locate his
owners, took him in as one of their own. For the past two years, Foxtrot has helped however he can to further the WFP’s efforts to end hunger in Bangladesh. This usually includes
accompanying his humans while they work, wearing an adorable custom-made WFP cape, and taking to Instagram to raise awareness about how anyone can join in the WFP’s mission.
After learning that he and his humans had won the Nobel Peace Prize, Foxtrot didn’t waste the opportunity to share his excitement with his followers. “Woweee,” the pup said. “I … think it would be even more amazing if we didn’t need any peace prizes because peace was the status quo in our world.”
If Foxtrot and his humans keep up the good work that won them the Nobel Peace Prize, it seems like that status quo could be within reach.
