Owner Shares Adorable Video of Golden Retriever Rocking a Baby

Yahoo12 hours ago
Time and again, dogs have proved that they're the ideal companions for humans. They are gentle, caring, loving cuddle machines and provide unlimited entertainment for your kids. So, for pet parents with children, finding a babysitter has never been an issue because they can always rely on their furry friend. This dog owner documented one such adorable moment when their Golden Retriever began rocking their baby in a feel-good Instagram video. The clip showed Ellie's maternal instincts kicking in to give her human brother a good time.
Video: Owner finds 'reliable child care' in Golden Retriever
A dog owner found reliable child care in her Golden Retriever, sharing a video of the pup being a perfect angel with her baby. It's no secret that our fur babies are brilliant at nursing and protecting their loved ones. From nurturing kids to entertaining them, they can do it all.
However, Ellie took it up a notch with her human sibling, showing why they're the best at what they do. Her mom documented the adorable moment and shared it on Instagram in a post that has since gone viral, amassing millions of views, likes, and reactions.
The video showed the Golden Retriever rocking her baby brother's nursery chair like it was no big deal for her. She stood behind the rocker and moved it up and down using one of her paws, while the baby appeared relaxed and fidgeted with his tiny fingers.
The little one was strapped into the rocking glider, and the pup also ensured utmost safety, being as gentle as possible with the movements. In the meantime, Ellie's owner captured the heartwarming moment as she chuckled at the scene.
The Golden's video proved that she truly enjoyed her new job — her smile said it all. One commenter pointed out the same, exclaiming, 'She's smiling!! She really likes her job!' Meanwhile, another individual hilariously demanded a 'salary increase' for the dog, as a user believed the Instagram Reel confirmed that Ellie is indeed human. Several others compared her to the pup, Nana, from Peter Pan.

Sick of online dating, NYC singles are looking for love via PowerPoint presentations

They've got some hot pitches At the buzzy new dating event Pitch and Pair, Gothamites try to sell the audience on their single friends with three-to-five minute PowerPoint presentations. 'I have a lot of shy friends who are single who are really great catches, and they kind of don't flourish in the typical dating apps or speed dating because they're introverted,' said the event's founder, Joe Teblum, a 33-year-old who lives in Chelsea and works in tech marketing. 'I also saw that there was this trend of people wanting to meet in person especially after Covid.' At an event last week at Slate in the Flatiron District, 16 locals gave presentations to a few hundred in the audience. There were bullet points, short videos and tickers. 'He can explain things without making you fall asleep,' Kedar Venkataramani's cousin told the audience of the 30-year-old, 5-foot-8 intellectual property lawyer who lives in NYC. 'He has a sharp mind, a sharp suit, and zero ego.' The cousin also praised Venkataramani as a soccer enthusiast and tasting menu aficionado. 'He will take you to a Broadway show including 'Hamilton' or 'Book of Mormon',' she said. 'He also Citi Bikes everywhere like it's his personal Tour de France.' The crowd was especially excited about the presentation for Chris Puch, a 33-year-old firefighter who lives in Staten Island and is a pseudo-celebrity on Tik Tok for being a hunky public servant. 'He will cook healthy for you even though I've seen him eat $50 worth of Taco Bell in one sitting, so you don't have to worry about him being too healthy,' said his matchmaker friend, laughing. 'If you guys like to travel, he loves it. He's a world traveler, and he's been all over the world, and he's looking for someone to go with besides himself.' Anand Tamirisa, a 33-year-old who lives in Chelsea and works in investment banking, was another one of the singles on offer. He admitted that he had authored much of the presentation himself, even though it was given by a dating guru buddy. 'I'm working in PowerPoint all day so it's easy for me,' he said. 'I made it in two hours. I even have a ticker on the top and stuff.' His deck included information such as 'Moved to NYC in 2018 after being inspired by Jay-Z,' 'Works in investment banking but doesn't wear a vest,' and, 'Has performed stand-up comedy at world-class dive bars.' It proved effective. By the time he walked off stage, Tamirisa had five new 'follow' requests on Instagram. (At the end of each presentation the matchmaker friend tells the crowd how to reach the single, whether it's via Instagram, email or text.) 'If I end up with one of them it would be a really good story,' Tamirisa said. Pitch & Pair takes place twice a month at venues round town, including City Winery in the Meatpacking District and Second City in Brooklyn. It costs $40 to $60 pitch — with two tickets to the event included — and $15 to $25 to sit in the audience. The next event is August 4th at Caveat on the Lower East Side. Events regularly sell out shortly after being announced — in as little as 34 hours. When Teblum first came up with the idea about a year ago, interest was limited. 'Only one person wanted to do a presentation,' he said of the first event, which was held at Kilo Bravo bar in Williamsburg and only attracted a few people beyond his friends. ts some early iterations, people tended to roast their friends in an attempt to be funny. Audiences sometimes erupted into 'boos.' Now, Teblum tells participants to keep it positive. 'The crowd gets so into it,' he said. 'Like the matchmaker shows a picture of someone's dog or hobby and everyone breaks out cheering.' Still, Sophia Demetriou, who was the first single presented at last week's event, said the experience was slightly uncomfortable. Her former roommate extolled her virtues, including the fact that she has never lost a game of backgammon, can 'serve looks' and is a Pizza Hut connoisseur. 'It was terrifying,' said Demetriou, a 26-year-old fashion designer. 'But I do think this is how people are going to date in the future. It just makes sense.' Solve the daily Crossword

Ozzy Osbourne death: Sharon, Kelly, Jack, and Aimee release joint statement after legendary rocker dies

Ozzy Osbourne's family has issued a joint statement following the death of the legendary rocker at the age of 76. The founding Black Sabbath frontman died Tuesday morning, his wife, Sharon, and four of his five children confirmed in a joint statement. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love,' the message shared on social media read. 'We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' Alongside the caption, they included a photo of Osbourne — who had Parkinson's disease — sitting in a black-winged throne during his final performance two weeks ago at the Back to the Beginning charity event hosted by Black Sabbath. The proceeds from the 10-hour concert were donated to Acorns Children's Hospice, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Cure Parkinson's. Osbourne, fondly nicknamed the 'Prince of Darkness,' was married to his second wife, television personality and music manager Sharon, from 1982 until his death. Together, they shared three children: Aimee, 41; Kelly, 40; and Jack, 39. The British singer-songwriter also had two children, daughter Jessica and son Louis, 50, from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. The pair were married from 1971 to 1982. He additionally adopted Riley's son, Elliott Kingsley, 59, from a previous marriage. The heavy metal artist has been mourned by fans and colleagues alike. Black Sabbath honored Osbourne with a post on Instagram that simply read: 'Ozzy forever.' Fellow singing icon Elton John paid tribute, calling Osbourne 'a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods — a true legend.' 'He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love,' he added. Former Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood said he was 'very sad' to hear of Osbourne's death. 'What a lovely goodbye concert he had at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham,' the rock guitarist wrote on X. Heavy-metal band Metallica paid tribute by posting a broken heart emoji, alongside an old photo of Osbourne and the band. Hours before his death, Osbourne made an eerie last Instagram post about going 'back to the beginning.' In the post, he shared a backstage photo from his farewell charity event of the sign above his dressing room. His name was printed atop the poster, with a picture of Osbourne and his four original bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Bill Ward below. 'Back to the Beginning,' it read. 'The Final Show.'
