Florida (CBS Local)– Chris Taylor and his black Labrador recently spent a few hours at Honeymoon Island Dog Beach in Florida. Unfortunately for Taylor, that time at the beach ended up killing his dog. Taylor’s dog died of saltwater poisoning after he dehydrated and suffered a brain hemorrhage. Taylor’s dog O.G. began having stomach issues and diarrhea, which forced the owner to take him to the vet. Unfortunately, it was too late. “They told me, there’s nothing we can do right now. I thought, this is my son. I don’t have children of my own,” said Taylor . Saltwater can be extremely toxic for animals. According to veterinarians, ingesting large amounts of salt water can put a dog’s life in danger. Veterinarian Dr. Katy Meyer from the Tampa Bay Emergency Veterinarians Services has seen this story play out too many times. “Things can come on gradually and you’re not aware of how serious things are up front,” said Meyer . Dr. Meyer recommends that dog owners keep trips to the beach with their pets to two hours.

LOS ANGELES (CBSNewYork/AP) – The 70th Emmy Award nominations were announced Thursday morning, with “Game of Thrones” earning 22 Emmy Award nominations, including for best drama series, to lead the pack. HBO’s fantasy saga is a two-time best drama winner that sat out the last year’s awards. It’s returning to face formidable competition: “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the dystopian sci-fi series that claimed top drama honors last year, drew 20 bids, with “Westworld” close by with 21. Donald Glover’s “Atlanta” is the top comedy with 16 bids. It will face newcomers including “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Barry,” starring Bill Hader. The revival of “Roseanne,” canceled because of star Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet, drew only one major nomination, a supporting actress nod for Laurie Metcalf. The previous high for “Game of Thrones” was 24 nominations in 2015. It got 23 nods in 2016 but wasn’t eligible last year. Samira Wiley of “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Orange Is the New Black” and Ryan Eggold of “The Blacklist” fame made the announcements on Thursday morning.

SANTA ANA (CBSLA) — One person hurt in a terrible crash Wednesday morning that injured three others was arrested after being tased by police officers. The crash happened at about 4:30 a.m. at the intersection of First and Fairview streets in Santa Ana.

Driver Suspected Of DUI, Hit-And-Run After Violent Crash In Santa Ana
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A “who’s who” of Los Angeles gathered Tuesday to say a fond farewell to civil rights icon John Mack. Community leaders, elected officials, dignitaries, stars, family and friends — about 2,000 in all — packed a Los Angeles church to say goodbye to Mack, 81, who died June 21 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He served as president of the Los Angeles Urban League from 1969 until his retirement in 2005, when he was named president of the Board of Police Commissioners of the Los Angeles Police Department. Mack was often credited with being a bridge between the black community and police department through volatile times. He also co-founded Los Angeles Black Leadership Coalition on Education in 1977 and was later appointed vice president of the United Way Corporation of Council Executives. “To the Mack family, God bless you,” LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said during the funeral service at West Angeles Church of God in Christ. “My heart is ripped by this and I know when I look around the room … all of us feel the same thing. All of us feel like we’ve touched greatness and it left us too early. Even though John lived a full life beyond compare, all of us feel that we personally were cheated by not having more time with him.” Former LAPD Chief Bill Bratton and incoming Chief Michel Moore were also among those who shared remarks at the service, along with Mayor Eric Garcetti and former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. “This nation of Los Angeles has been built by many people,” Garcetti said. “This is one of our founding fathers. … Racial justice, economic opportunity, procedural equity for all people — how do you feel that? How do you build it? This man was a great carpenter. This man was a great builder of Los Angeles and is one of the founding fathers of the new Los Angeles.” Garcetti said Mack helped unite the city, and “now it is up to us to make sure that we keep walking together.” Former Laker Magic Johnson, now the team’s president of basketball operations, hailed Mack’s contributions to the Los Angeles community. John Mack, 81, died June 21 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. (credit: CBS) “John was there to share every special moment of my life, but also the tough times too,” Johnson said. “When I announced HIV, he cried like a baby. I remember that like it was yesterday. But he was right there with me.” Johnson added, “We really had a lot of good times. So, as I’m sad, but I’m happy. I’m happy because John left his mark on this city,” he said. Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, said that when he learned of Mack’s death, he contacted his predecessors who had worked closely with Mack, and they all said he ran “the model Urban League affiliate.” “To a person, they described the man who, if he had chosen, would have been the CEO of a Fortune 500 company,” Morial said. “If he had chosen, he could have been the mayor of Los Angeles. And I dare say if he had chosen, he could have been Obama before Obama. “You see … what he represented was this generation,” he said. “This generation born in the segregated South. I think when his mom and dad named him John Wesley Mack, after the great Methodist leader who was also an abolitionist, they marked him for destiny.”

(CBS News) — A Virginia bookstore owner called the police on a woman who was yelling at former White House strategist Steve Bannon inside his establishment over the weekend, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports . Bannon joins a growing list of Trump associates or staffers who have been confronted in public. Nick Cooke, owner of Black Swan Books in Richmond, told the Virginia newspaper that Bannon was browsing inside his store when a woman called him a “piece of trash.” Cooke called 911, but the woman left as he made that call. “Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business,” Cooke said. “I asked her to leave, and she wouldn’t. And I said, ‘I’m going to call the police if you don’t.’ And I went to call the police and she left. And that’s the end of the story.” Richmond police confirmed a call was made Saturday afternoon of someone yelling at a political figure in the bookstore, adding the call was canceled before officers could respond, according to the Times-Dispatch. CBS News reached out to Cooke for further comment, but did not immediately hear back. Recently, officials connected with President Trump have been facing confrontations from concerned citizens. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant by its owner, citing her work for President Trump. Former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt was challenged by a woman holding her 2-year-old son in a Washington, D.C., restaurant last week. In June, protesters yelled at Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen inside a Mexican restaurant as the Trump administration was reeling from criticism over its family separation policy at the border. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao and her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, were also confronted for the same policy in Georgetown. — Christopher Brito (© 2018 CBS Interactive Inc.
