A study from Ohio State found that more dogs in your neighborhood = less crime. PLOT TWIST it’s not for the reasons you think.
Yes, a “Beware of Dog” sign can scare away burglars but this study found that you actually hold the power. Dog walkers have the same effect as a neighborhood watch because they “patrol” the streets.
Check this out, there is a bigger difference in areas where people know and trust each other. So how do you feel about your neighbors? Lets us know on the Ellen K Morning Show.

Marcella is an 8 week German Shepherd puppy. She is sassy and loves to play! Marcella absolutely LOVES her foster siblings and her foster human brother. She will need to be adopted into a home with someone who will take her training seriously and continue to give her the tools to challenge her physical and mental needs. Marcella is learning how to walk on the leash and has had multiple successful potty breaks outside but, like any puppy, is still working on becoming fully potty trained.
Marcella’s perfect home will be ready for the joys and challenges of raising a puppy and will have breed experience. If you’re interested in adopting, submit an application: www.istandwithmypack.org/adopt
ICYMI This morning on the Ellen K Morning Show, here’s what Ellen K made for dinner last night.
Hatch Chile and Cheese Chicken Recipe:
Ingredients-
Original recipe yields 4 servings
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ½ cups shredded pepperjack cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced hatch chile peppers, drained
1 tablespoon dry fajita seasoning
Steps-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9 inch square baking dish (or similar size) with cooking spray.
Step 2
Make a deep cut into the side of each chicken breast half to form a pocket or ‘purse’. Stuff 1/4 cup of cheese and about 1 tablespoon of the chilies onto each one. Close, and secure with a toothpick so that the cheese does not escape while in the oven. Place the stuffed chicken into the baking dish. Season with Fajita seasoning, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese and chilies over the top.
Step 3
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the chicken juices run clear, and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
