Ted Lasso Is Back & Gene-Edited Beagles

This Washington Post column by Monica Hesse argues that the return of Ted Lasso is timely because the character's defining strength, optimism, remains a rare and valuable trait in modern culture. The piece is less a TV review and more a reflection on why audiences connected with Ted in the first place and why they may need him again now. Scientists have successfully used CRISPR gene-editing technology to create what may be the world's first dogs specifically engineered to eliminate a major dog allergen, potentially opening the door to truly hypoallergenic pets in the future.
