Video Shows Golden Retriever Throwing Tantrums When Petting Stops
If you think dogs aren't dramatic, stop petting them and see what happens. Golden Retriever Zebby's owner gave it a good old try, attempting for the sake of the argument, but instantly regretted their actions. An Instagram video from the account @zebbythegolden captured the dog showcasing his dramatic side to his parent after they briefly held back on petting him.
The video began with Zebby lying comfortably on his bed, all ready to receive his owner's pets. The dog parent gently began rubbing the canine's paws before abruptly retreating their hand. The Golden Retriever was taken aback by their owner's sudden decision, but decided to fight back the only way he knew how. He looked at the owner for a split second before whimping and breathing loudly to get his parent's attention.
The owner didn't let Zebby showcase his disapproval for too long and began petting the dog back. As soon as the canine realized the pets were back, he smiled and got comfortable again. In the caption, the owner said, 'The golden retriever tantrums are real.'
Meanwhile, fans and fellow dog parents were clear about their love for Zebby. They jokingly scolded the owner for stopping their pets midway. One said, 'You're not allowed to stop petting.' However, some recognized the dog's dramatic side, with one scoring his tantrums a '12/10.' A few other Golden Retriever parents shared similar petting stories.

Alex Cooper Savagely Booed At Wrigley Field For Desecrating Long Tradition
Alex Cooper has millions of fans of her 'Call Her Daddy' podcast ― and it sounded like none of them were at Chicago's Wrigley Field on Sunday when she performed 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame.' She was booed. Lustily. Savagely. Brutally. Pick your adverb. It was bad. 'You've never seen something like this before,' Cooper said. And she might have been right. Click to watch it right here. It probably didn't help that at first she appeared to attempt a bad impression of late and beloved Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray, who was famous for leading the Wrigley faithful in the 'Take Me Out' chant during the seventh inning stretch. Cooper's sorta backup dancers and giggle-pocked delivery were perhaps errors as well. Hey, at least she has more subject matter for her next show. And her heavily despised take didn't hurt the home team's performance. The Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-0. Please note the ESPN-televised version, which you can watch below, isn't as boo-heavy because the sound is focused on her singing. If that's what you want to call it.

Cierra Ortega exits 'Love Island USA' villa following backlash over resurfaced racial slur posts
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cierra Ortega, a contestant of this summer's 'Love Island USA' left the villa just a week before the finale of the hit reality series is set to air on Peacock. Her departure, announced Sunday, followed weeks of uproar from viewers after old posts from Ortega resurfaced that contained a racial slur against Asian people. The show's narrator, Iain Stirling, announced Ortega had departed 'due to a personal situation' early in Sunday's episode. Ortega becomes the second contestant this season to depart the show amid controversy due to past social media posts. Yulissa Escobar abruptly exited last month in the second episode after clips of her using racist language resurfaced online. Her departure was also not explained in the show. A spokesperson for the show declined to comment Monday. Ortega's family posted to her Instagram story Sunday evening following the announcement of her departure, asking the public 'for compassion. For patience. For basic human decency. 'While Cierra is not in the villa anymore, she is still away. She hasn't had the chance to process any of this or speak for herself,' her family wrote. 'But we know our daughter. We know her heart. And when she returns, we believe she'll face this with honesty, growth, and grace.' Her family said they, along with Ortega's friends and online supporters, have received threats, attacks and cruel messages on social media, noting that 'no one deserve that kind of hate, no matter what mistakes they've made.' 'Love Island USA' is an American spin-off of the original U.K. series and is airing its seventh season. The show airs daily except Wednesdays and brings young singles together in a remote villa in Fiji to explore connections with the ultimate goal of finding love. Couples undergo challenges and are encouraged test their romantic connections as new contestants are introduced. Islanders are routinely 'dumped' from the villa throughout the series as stronger couples form. The winning couple receives $100,000. The show, which strips contestants of their phones or access to the outside world, has previously asked fans to avoid cyberbullying contestants. Host Ariana Madix called for fans to stop doxxing and harassing the show's stars in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Ortega entered the villa at the end of the first episode as a bombshell, one of the first in a steady stream of new contestants who come in after the show began, often expected to disrupt existing couples and create new relationship dynamics. Ortega quickly coupled up with Nic Vansteenberghe, whom she remained with up until her departure. Her exit broke up one of the few consistent couples of the season. The couple had just announced a few episodes prior they were 'closed off,' a popular 'Love Island' phrase to indicate neither contestant was interested in exploring a connection with any other islander. 'Before Cierra had left, my mind was clear. I knew what the future would look like, and now, I'm lost,' Vansteenberghe said during Sunday's episode. Vansteenberghe stayed on the show as a single islander after Ortega left, and he ultimately re-coupled with fellow contestant Olandria Carthen before the end of the episode. Belle-A Walker, a contestant who was dumped earlier this season, took to Instagram to express heartbreak over Ortega's resurfaced posts. Walker, who is Asian American, said she is 'deeply appreciative' of the show's producers 'for taking a stand and making it clear that racism of any kind is not tolerated.' 'Asian hate is oftentimes overlooked and dismissed. But being a first-generation American, I have personally witnessed and experienced how real and hurtful comments like these are,' Walker wrote on her Instagram story page. 'It is my hope that this situation can help shed light on how big of an issue anti-Asian hate really is.'
