Fight Back Again Insurance Compa STAY 1 STEP AHEAD FOR Y Insurance is there to protect us. We can rest easy knowing that if something happens to us, our financial strain will be significantly reduced. The last thing we might expect is to have our claim denied. However, in many cases, an insurance company will deny that claim, even if we’ve diligently paid our premiums every month. In that situation, what do we do? THE REASON BEHIND THE DENIAL A claims adjuster might deny your claim for a number of reasons. Your policy could have lapsed, the nature of the car wreck may not be covered under the terms of your policy, the at-fault party may not be covered, or you might not qualify to make a third-party claim. These are just a few examples. However, the bluntest reason your claim is denied is so the insurance company can keep their profits. An insurance company receives thousands of insurance claims over a single year; they will try to come up with any excuse to ensure your claim doesn’t go through.

Super Beagles and Jumping Llamas GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS’ MOST AMAZING ANIMALS Hearing about someone who has claimed a Guinness World Record is pretty cool, but do you know what’s even cooler? When animals make world records. Here are a few amazing animals who hold some really cool records. CASPA, THE AMAZING JUMPING LLAMA Sue Williams is an animal trainer and behaviorist who specializes in dogs. One day, she was working on agility training with her dogs when she noticed her llama, Caspa, watching them. After a little time and training, Williams discovered that Caspa loved jumping, too. In 2015, Caspa cleared a bar set at 3 feet, 8 1/2 inches. He jumped right into the world record for “highest bar jump cleared by a llama.”

Giving Your Child the Best Protection

“He’s a complete diva,” says Williams. “So, if there are people there to show off in front of, that’s when he’s at his ultimate best.”

DIDGA, A VERY TRICKY KITTY Anyone who says cats can’t learn tricks hasn’t met Didga. In 2016, Didga, with help from her human, Robert Dollwet, claimed a world record by performing 20 different tricks in 60 seconds. Her routine started with the classics, like sitting and giving high-fives, and culminated in riding a skateboard while hopping over a low bar. Dollwet told Guinness World Records that training Didga took a lot of time and patience and that he was so proud of his clever cat. PURIN, THE BEAGLE WHO HOLDS 3 GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS Nicknamed “The Super Beagle,” Purin scored her first title in 2015 for her amazing goalkeeping skills. The beagle “saved” 14 mini soccer balls thrown by her human, Makoto Kumagai, in one minute. A year later, Purin claimed another record when she became the “fastest dog on a ball” by traveling 10 meters in 10.39 seconds while balancing on a ball. Not long after, Purin and Kumagai set the record for “most skips by a dog and a person in one minute — single rope” with 58 skips. Talk about super!
