German Shepherd Sweetly Gives Baby Kisses After ‘Scaring' Her with His Epic Howls

German Shepherd Sweetly Gives Baby Kisses After ‘Scaring' Her with His Epic Howls

Yahoo15-05-2025
German Shepherds are generally a well-respected breed, but they're not necessarily the first breed everyone thinks of when they think of kids. They're amazing workers, but many don't think they're quite right for families.
That's absolutely not the case! Just look at this video posted recently. Not only does the German Shepherd in the video care deeply for his baby: he feels terrible for scaring her, even though he didn't mean it!
While @absolutely_kaos1 might like in chaos most of the time, this moment is nothing but bliss. If I ever have a baby, I hope they get along this well with my dog!There are actually two German Shepherds raising this baby girl: Kaos and Mayhem. If ever she needs to fight off a bully, I just know she'll have way too much fun introducing them! The two of them love her equally, though Kaos is definitely gearing up to be "her" dog!
Someone in the comments suggested that she didn't start crying on purpose: she was obviously trying to howl, too, but couldn't manage. Don't worry, though: as she gets older and her lungs get bigger, she'll learn.
For now, though, Kaos worried that he scared his baby with all of his howling, and immediately tried to make it better with kisses. It worked like a charm!
Dogs generally don't like the sound of babies crying, which is why it's often so hard for them to adjust when a new baby comes home. The sound just makes them uncomfortable, and in some, it triggers a response that might be less-than-kind.
Before you allow your dog(s) to be around your baby (and before you even bring them home) there are some things you can do to help make it easier:
Play crying baby sounds so they can get used to it.
Start shifting their routine to align with what you want the baby's routine to be.
Make sure that your dog has plenty of alone time.
They're special, too, and making sure they feel like they are is the best way to make sure they develop a strong, jealousy-free connection with the kids in your home. Kaos and Mayhem certainly did!

Farm Dog Who 'Lied on Her Job Application' Has Internet in Stitches

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A corgi named Tilly has left social media users in stitches after her owner shared a viral video of her fleeing the very animals she was supposed to herd. The hilarious TikTok video shared earlier in July under the username @jakesfunnyfarm, which has received over 264,000 views and 32,600 likes, shows Tilly bolting away from a stampede of sheep, leaving her sister to deal with it. "Tilly may have lied on her job application," the poster writes in the clip. "Tilly was not quite ready for a stampede, but luckily Sadie had her back," she adds in the caption. Corgis are recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as herding dogs, in fact they were initially bred as cattle herders. They also make good guardian dogs as well as sweet and loving companions. Some of the breeds that make the best herd dogs include most types of shepherd pups such as German shepherd, Australian shepherd, and Belgian Malinois. But many other breeds can also take on this role successfully. Dogs like border collies, which are known for being the smartest canines in the world, Belgian Tervuren, Berger Picard, and bearded collies, among others, are also great options with innate herding skills. Herding breeds are generally high-energy, incredibly intelligent dogs bred to work with livestock. So even when they are not working in the field, they still require a minimum of 60–90 minutes of vigorous daily exercise to avoid destructive behaviors. The best way to channel their instincts and energy constructively, is by engaging in a variety of outdoor activities such as long walks, runs, hikes, bike rides, fetch, tug-of-war, backyard football, and off-leash play in dog parks. Interactive toys, like puzzle feeders and treat dispensers, can also help keep your pup mentally engaged. Training sessions, scent work, trick-learning exercises, treasure hunts, hide-and-seek, and tug-of-war also provide effective mental and physical stimulation.

One user, Destiny, commented: "Tilly is just using reverse psychology to get them to come! You go Ms Girl!" H3nryk3ll3r said: "You misunderstood her. She wasn't running was saying follow me this way guys." Rhoda added: "Didn't lie exactly— just added fluff to get the job!! Happens all of the time."

German Shepherd Dove Headfirst Into Mud Bath Chaos and Has Zero Regrets

German Shepherd Dove Headfirst Into Mud Bath Chaos and Has Zero Regrets originally appeared on Parade Pets. We know, just like people, dogs of the same breed come with a wide variety of personalities. Some consider themselves indoor pups who like to cuddle, sleep, and play with their toys, while others are on the complete opposite end of that. These pooches prefer to be outside, have a lot of energy to burn off, and will always choose the path of most chaos. One treats the outdoors as an open invitation to go wild, and that's what he does. In a hilarious video, while on a walk with his human, he comes across a puddle of mud and has zero hesitation to listen to his inner voice, and it's probably more intense than you think it is. Brace yourself, cause this is hilarious. TikTok user Ivy (@ivycaponi) shared a video that went viral, garnering 35 million views and a comment section that's more than 57k deep, and it's incredibly funny. We know that this sweet dog named Whiskey comes across a puddle of mud, but when I said you'd have to brace yourself for how muddy he makes himself, I meant it. This silly pup doesn't hesitate for even a millisecond to launch himself right into the puddle, which is deeper than it looks. Whiskey doesn't care. He's now covered, as in every single strand of fur and inch of his body is now mud. He's rolling, basically swimming, and looks like he is having the absolute best time of his life. The video ends with him still in the mud, looking unrecognizable because he's now just a blob of concrete-colored mud. But the sweet German Shepherd looks the comments, people had a lot to say about Whiskey's extreme love of mud and how into the rolls he seemed to be. One wrote, "It's funny but only cause he's not mine." Another joked, "God forbid a dog just wants to experience the benefits of a mud bath." Someone else added, "I mean, at least he's passionate about skin and hair care." Others shared, "Missed a spot," "He's having the best day ever," "Spa day, enjoy the process," Some people pay large amounts of money for a mud bath," "That dog is having the time of his life," "I'm such a cat person," and "Tearing up because I feel like we're witnessing the literal best moment of his whole life." I have no idea how a sweet parent is supposed to get all this mud off him when they're done their walk. But it will probably start with a hose wash-off outside, along with a prayer that Whiskey doesn't shake his fur too much and spray the dirt all over the place. Can't deny that this is one happy pup, though, and we love a pooch and dog parent who just go for it! 🐶SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾 German Shepherd Dove Headfirst Into Mud Bath Chaos and Has Zero Regrets first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Lady Gaga kicked off her ‘Mayhem Ball Tour.' What songs made the setlist?

Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The 'Mayhem Ball' has finally dropped. Four long months after releasing her seventh studio album 'Mayhem,' Lady Gaga launched her highly-anticipated North American arena tour at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday, July 16. Over five exquisitely-titled acts and an encore, Ms. Germanotta delivered 27 songs. They ran the gamut from chart-topping radio staples like 'Poker Face,' 'Paparazzi' and 'Just Dance' to her emotive, soul-baring duets 'Shallow' and 'Die With A Smile' to cuts from 'Mayhem,' according to Set List FM. When all was said and done, she closed the concert with the slinky party-starting singalong 'How Bad Do U Want Me.' 'Its ideas were as big as its presentation, and Gaga kept its focus with over-the-top theatrics and an even greater vision,' Variety raved in a review of the Sin City show. '…but at the heart of her performance was a parade of hits that served as the backbone of the Gaga experience, one that continuously elicited screams and chants from the attendees decked out in Gaga costumes.' Variety also noted that Gaga had surprisingly switched up the second half of her live show compared to what she'd staged in Singapore this past spring while warming up for the tour. 'There was no 'Blade of Grass' or 'Always Remember Us This Way,' as she'd sung in Singapore; instead, she folded in 'Applause' and 'Summerboy,' and swapped 'How Bad Do U Want Me' as the evening's closer. She sang a new rendition of 'Die With a Smile' at the lip of the stage on a piano; 'Shallow' had a fresh arrangement that offered a different texture to the melodramatic ballad.' If you'd like to see the shape-shifting, versatile 14-time Grammy winner put on her one-of-a-kind show live, tickets are available for all upcoming North American concerts (including her five at Madison Square Garden this August and September). For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem Ball Tour' below. Lady Gaga tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar including all North American (and some European) tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below. Lady Gaga set list On Wednesday, July 16, Gaga played her first official 'Mayhem Ball Tour' concert at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Stadium. According to Set List FM, here's what she took to the stage. Act I: Of Velvet And Vice 01.) 'Bloody Mary' 02.) 'Abracadabra' 03.) 'Judas/Aura' 04.) 'Scheiße' 05.) 'Garden of Eden' 06.) 'Poker Face Act II: And She Fell Into A Gothic Dream 07.) 'Perfect Celebrity' 08.) 'Disease' 09.) 'Paparazzi' 10.) 'LoveGame' 11.) 'Alejandro' 12.) 'The Beast' Act III: The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name 13.) 'Killah' 14.) Zombieboy' 15.) 'LoveDrug' 16.) 'Applause' 17.) 'Just Dance' Act IV: Every Chessboard Has Two Queens 18.) 'Shadow of a Man' 19.) 'Kill for Love' 20.) 'Summerboy' 21.) 'Born This Way' 22.) 'Million Reasons' 23.) 'Shallow' 24.) 'Die With a Smile' 25.) 'Vanish Into You' Finale: Eternal Aria of the Monster Heart 26.) 'Bad Romance' Encore 27.) 'How Bad Do U Want Me' Lady Gaga new music On March 7, Lady Gaga dropped her seventh studio album 'Mayhem.' The energetic, maximalist dance pop record — which many rightly call a return to form — rarely takes a moment to breathe (save for the final two tracks, which veer into singalong ballad territory). Over its 53-minute runtime, Gaga goes hard providing her signature powerful vocals over shimmery synths, thumping percussion and the occasional epic guitar riff. And, yes, it's an absolute blast that we went gaga over. Standouts here include the anthemic, electro 'Disease,' disco jam 'Abracadabra,' creepy, hypnotic bop 'Killah,' glittery foot-stomper 'Zombieboy' and retro, New Wave-esque 'Don't Call Tonight.' Still, our top track has to be the lead single, Gaga's throwback 'Die With A Smile' duet with Bruno Mars. Sweeping yet intimate and thrillingly romantic, the heartfelt tune pairs perfectly as an upbeat counterpart to her similarlly swooning 'Shallow.' It's essential and we'd bet will likely become a staple at Gaga tours for the next few decades. If you'd like to fire up the record right now and find your own favorite song, 'Mayhem' can be found here.
