It was a frightening night for a Mt. Pleasant Township pastor who fended off a black bear that had his family dog clutched in its teeth.
The Rev. Tim Stradling said Tuesday that Peyton Manning, a 9-year-old Maltese/silky terrier mix, is recovering at a Monroeville animal hospital. The dog has a fractured leg and puncture wounds around its neck.
“It all happened in a matter of two minutes,” he said.
It started when Stradling, the 56-year-old pastor of Armbrust Wesleyan Church, let Peyton outside about 10 p.m. Monday. The dog started barking shortly after outside the home near the church, located at the intersection of Route 819 and Stone Church Road.
The Midwest Fund launches, brings The Fund’s innovative investment strategy to a fifth market
A new investment fund is coming to Midwest cities, and it’s lead by names familiar to the local scenes. The aptly-named Midwest Fund targets early-stage startups from Pittsburgh to Chicago, from Detroit to Cincinnati, and everywhere in between. Unlike traditional venture capital funds, this one gets its funding from successful entrepreneurs looking for ways to reinvest in their regions.
The Midwest Fund was born from The Fund, an NYC-based venture capital group. Founded in 2018 by an all-star cast of Jenny Fielding, Scott Hartley, Katie Hunt, Adam Carver and Matthew Brimer, The Fund has since expanded with micro-funds in Los Angeles, London and the Boulder/Denver region. And with each expansion, local founders and investors are tapped to lead each region.
