Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In recent years followers of British talent shows have seen more than their fair share of celebrity canines and posing pooches, but it's fair to say that Jack, an Australian cattle dog from San Franscisco, probably takes the biscuit.

The three-year-old dog, along with his owners Nicole Lee and her boyfriend Trey, have become internet celebrities in recent weeks after pictures of the talented pet balancing objects on his nose and head were posted on Reddit.

The images show Jack balancing everything from a football to a frying pan on his head and nose.

The perfectly-poised pooch is even disciplined enough to resist a pile of biscuits delicately placed literally in front of his eyes.

Nicole and Trey said the latest stunt they've taught Jack is to close kitchen cupboards and open fridge doors.

Whether he'll be able to resist dipping into the fridge for a midnight doggy treat remains to be seen.
