  • A Las Vegas Valley teacher is devastated after a house fire destroys everything she owns and claims the life of her beloved dog, Cooper.
    Lauryn Ratigan, a first grade teacher at Marion Earl Elementary in Las Vegas, hid her pain from her 1st grade students but an observant parent learns more and writes the FOX5 Surprise Squad for a help. The Surprise Squad teams up with the Vegas Golden Knights to brighten Ms. Ratigan’s spirits and deliver her a Knight of unbelievable surprises.
    Thank you to our partners, United Nissan, America First Credit Union, Albertsons/Vons.

      nein nein what a charming comment. I’m sure you just made everyone feel so good. What kind of person takes a good, heartwarming moment (which are rare) and pisses all over it. You must be a real joy for the people that know you. There is a time and place for everything. This was neither. For an animal lover, you have no compassion and a very ugly heart.

    I just discovered these videos tonight and started binge watching...it's 2:38am right now. My family and I have been in a really..really bad spot for so many reasons the passed couple months and there's no sign of light..yet..but my parents luckily are in a position where they are able to help us through and take the edge off of the struggle for the moment. So, it's extremely amazing that Fox5 is willing to step in for the people that don't have the Mom&Dad that I do.

    This was still a generous gift but u should’ve gotten her a house or an apartment with a dog inside. She lost her dog a house and her heart. She is a great person to hear she’s upset just because she couldn’t supply her kids with good material. She’s already thinking of others before her self.

Losing her pet is unbearable especially if that's all you have. Fox 5 you do so many wonderful things for people, as I watch your videos tears run down my face so happy for them. Then I wonder if they can help me. I know so many need help and they can't help everyone. I wish her all the best.
