    ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Clint Homestead is spending his Tuesday in an unusual position — floating in a tank of 32-degree water outside Humpy’s Ale House in downtown Anchorage, claiming to be toasty warm despite buckets of ice added regularly to the tank.

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - David Jensen says if he can help reunite one lost dog with its owner, his pet project 907chip will have been worth it. For months, Jensen — an Anchorage photographer and animal lover — has been raising funds to install microchip scanning stations in public places around town. The scanners allow people to see if a stray animal is chipped, then contact the chip company, which in turn will let the owner know their pet has been found.
