Woman Rescues 'Terrified' Dog from Meat Trade—Then His Dreams Come True
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 dog who was rescued from the meat market has been given a second chance at life, and now he's putting those unthinkable horrors in the past. While dog owner Christina Craddick may already have three canines in her home in Los Angeles, California, she couldn't resist adding one more to her tally. After hearing about Norman, a "terrified" dog who was saved from the meat trade two years ago, she knew she had to adopt him and give him the life he deserves. Norman spent much of his life chained up at a Korean meat market where he was only given "sticks to eat." The poor dog is incredibly nervous and gets overstimulated easily, but he's certainly on the mend in his forever home. Craddick often shares videos about Norman (and her other rescue dogs) on TikTok (@christinancraddick). A heartwarming video showing Norman fast asleep in her lap and cuddling up to her has delighted the internet, leading to more than 518,800 views and over 90,700 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Norman the rescue dog cuddling up to his owner, 2 years after being rescued from the Korean meat market. Norman the rescue dog cuddling up to his owner, 2 years after being rescued from the Korean meat market. @christinancraddick / TikTok The caption alongside the sweet clip reads: "Norman's been THROUGH IT, how could you be mean to this dog?" At present, it's believed that an estimated 2 million dogs a year are reared on meat farms across South Korea. They are predominantly slaughtered by electrocution, which can take up to five minutes to die. But in recent years, the dog meat industry has seen a decline in numbers, with a survey by Gallup Korea suggesting that 70 percent of South Koreans will refuse to eat dog meat in the future. In 2024, South Korea passed a Special Act to cease the breeding, slaughtering and distribution of dogs for consumption. In the six months that followed, 623 dog farms closed down, equating to 40 percent of the total number across the country. It's also expected that 60 percent, or 938 farms, will be closed by the end of 2025. Thankfully, Norman's life was spared, and he is now living his best dream in the U.S. It breaks Craddick's heart to think about what he once experienced, but she's so glad that she could provide him with a loving forever home. Since sharing the sweet clip of him laying beside her, the viral video has generated over 800 comments on TikTok. One comment reads: "He's perfect! Thank you for saving him and giving him a safe place to feel what every dog Another TikTok user wrote: "This literally made me cry. He deserves the world." Another person added: "The fact that dogs can be so hurt, but still just want to be loved will never cease to break my heart." While one commenter replied: "I wish with all my heart that all of them get saved and loved." Newsweek has contacted @christinancraddick via Instagram. We could not verify the details of the video.

And a foaming garbage disposal cleaner to clean out all the gunk from your roommates who just don't understand the concept of throwing food in the garbage instead of down the sink.

The 7 Best Cooling Dog Beds To Give Pups Relief In Summer Heat
When temperatures soar, a cooling dog bed can make summer days a lot more comfortable for your pup. The best cooling dog beds use breathable fabrics, cooling gels or elevated platforms to help keep your dog from overheating, since panting alone isn't always enough to beat the heat. These beds can noticeably improve your pup's comfort by helping them settle down and rest easier on especially hot days. The K&H Original Bolster Pet Cot is our top pick, thanks to its airy mesh fabric and elevated design that promotes airflow and keeps your dog off the hot ground. The best dog cooling beds have features that help cool pups down during warm weather. Illustration: Forbes / Image: Retailers Not all dogs cope with heat in the same way, which is why cooling beds can be so helpful for certain breeds. 'Dogs with thick double coats, like Golden retrievers, German shepherds and huskies, are the top contenders for cooling beds, since their built-in insulation makes it hard to regulate temperature,' says Dr. Aimee Warner, resident veterinarian at Waggel. She notes that brachycephalic dogs (those with flatter faces, like bulldogs and pugs) particularly love cooling beds, 'since their short airways render panting an ineffective way to cool down. And senior dogs also get wonderful relief from cooling beds, because their older bodies struggle with temperature regulation.' Cooling dog beds are typically available as elevated cots, gel- or water-filled mats or gel-infused foam beds, but the right style depends largely on your dog's individual needs. To help you find the best fit, we researched, tested and selected the best cooling dog beds across seven categories, based on expert guidance and feedback from pups and their owners. Amazon K&H Pet Products Original Bolster Pet Cot Dimensions: 30 x 42 x 7 inches (large) | Type: Elevated, bolstered | Sizes: Small, medium, large | Materials: Waterproof nylon, mesh, steel | Colors: Chocolate and charcoal Pros: Elevated design makes it breathable and easy to clean Plush bolsters offer added support Breaks down for storage Cons: May need a rug underneath to prevent sliding The K&H Original Bolster Pet Cot is our top pick due to its balance of cooling and comfort. The elevated design keeps your pup 7 inches above the ground, and its mesh fabric cushions their joints. These features allow for better airflow to keep your dog cool in hot weather. Plus, the padded bolsters around three of the sides give your pooch somewhere to rest their head. While it does require assembly, you don't need any tools, and replacement parts are available if the fabric ever rips. The cover and bolsters are machine-washable, or you can spray the bed down with a hose in a pinch. Chewy Green Pet Cool Pet Pad Dimensions: 27.5 x 43.3 x 0.2 inches (XL) | Type: Pressure-activated cooling mat | Sizes: XS, small, medium, large, XL | Materials: Vinyl, patented nontoxic gel | Colors: Blue and sage gray Pros: Pressure-activated cooling Portable and multi-use Can be refrigerated Cons: Direct sunlight might worsen its performance Casing isn't the most durable The Green Pet Shop Cooling Pet Pad is a good choice for particularly hot days outside with your pup. The mat is filled with a nontoxic gel that cools through pressure activation, without the need for water or electricity. You can also put it in the refrigerator to make it even more refreshing for your dog to rest on. At less than half an inch thick, it's nice that the mat is portable and can be folded up for storage. While its cooling abilities last only for a few hours, it 'recharges' within around 20 minutes of non-use. Just try to keep the pad in the shade, as direct sunlight will minimize its effectiveness. And if you're worried about the durability of the pad's exterior (some users reported their pet accidentally ripping the casing), you can use any pillowcase or purchase the brand's cover for it. Chewy Arf Pets Cooling Bed Dimensions: 26 x 40 x 1 inches (large) | Type: Pressure-activated cooling mat, bolstered | Sizes: Small, medium, large | Materials: Nylon, nontoxic gel, memory foam | Color: Gray-blue Pros: Pressure-activated cooling Memory foam base and bolsters add support No assembly required Cons: Spot-clean only Actual weight capacity may be too low for larger breeds This compact cooling mat from Arf Pets is the perfect size for small dog breeds; its largest size maxes out at 26 by 40 inches, which will probably be most comfortable for dogs no more than 75 pounds. (This is based on our analysis of verified reviews, as opposed to the listed max capacity of 100 pounds.) The Arf Pets Cooling Bed is made of all dog-safe materials: The pad is topped with a solid gel layer supported by a memory foam base, and there are small bolsters around its edges for your dog to lay their head on. The gel layer is pressure activated, at which point it creates a cooling effect by absorbing your dog's body heat for up to three hours. Once it's done cooling, recharging only takes about 15 minutes. Note that the cover isn't removable and can only be spot-cleaned. Dimensions: 48 x 36 x 4 inches (XXL) | Type: Orthopedic cooling bed | Sizes: Large, XL, XXL | Materials: Polyester, gel foam, memory foam | Colors: Gray and blue Pros: Orthopedic foam supports giant and senior dogs Gel-infused memory foam dissipates heat Cooling enough for double-coated dogs Removable, machine-washable cover Cons: Not chew- or scratch-resistant Not waterproof If you have a big dog who overheats easily, this Frisco cooling bed is one of the few options that actually accommodates giant breeds. The XXL version measures 48 inches long, giving even very large dogs enough room to stretch all the way out. It has two layers of foam: The top one is gel-infused memory foam with small holes that increase airflow and prevent heat from building up, and underneath there's a thicker orthopedic foam base that provides firm cushioning, especially for heavy dogs. Altogether, the padding adds up to about 4 inches, so your big pup won't sink to the floor. The cover feels soft and cool, and it zips off easily whenever you need to toss it in the wash. Those who have used it mention it holds up well after washing, and note their double-coated dogs seem noticeably more comfortable year-round. Note that the bed isn't waterproof and it doesn't resist chewing or scratching, so it might not be the best choice if you have a large-breed puppy who loves to chew or your dog tends to be destructive. Dimensions: 44 x 32 x 2 inches (large) | Type: Water-filled mat | Sizes: Small, medium, large | Materials: Nylon, memory foam, vinyl | Color: Blue Pros: Sturdy and supportive enough for larger breeds Effectively cooling design Orthopedic foam gives senior dogs added comfort Cons: Surface is a bit slippery For dogs who like to spend summer days lying in the yard, this water-filled cooling bed from K&H can help keep them comfortable outside. You fill the inner chamber with cold water (a garden hose works fine), and the bed stays cool for several hours at a time. The nylon exterior is sturdy enough to withstand typical outdoor use, and there's a thin layer of orthopedic foam at the bottom to provide a bit of extra cushioning. Because this bed uses water, it's best suited for outdoor areas in case of leaks or punctures—especially if your dog tends to scratch or dig. It also tends to be slightly slippery, so if your dog is older or has mobility issues, it may not be the best fit. To get the most out of it, keep the bed in a shaded spot, and plan to refill it occasionally with fresh water on hotter days. Amazon EveryYay Cool Orthopedic Dog Crate Mat Dimensions: 46.5 x 28 x 3 inches (XXL) | Type: Orthopedic crate mat | Sizes: XS, small, medium, large, XL, XXL | Materials: Water-resistant fabric, orthopedic foam | Colors: Gray and teal Pros: Fits most standard crate sizes Cool-to-touch, water-resistant fabric Just firm enough not to sink down in a crate Removable, machine-washable cover Cons: Might be too firm for some dogs The EveryYay Cool Orthopedic Crate Mat is both a cozy cooling option and one that comes in six sizes to fit most standard-sized dog crates. The mat-style bed is crafted with a thick layer of orthopedic foam that provides firm-enough support, while the egg-crate texture on top adds the right amount of comfort. The foam is covered with a fabric that stays cool to the touch, making it comfortable in warm weather. The cover is also water-resistant to protect the inner foam in case of accidents, and it can be tossed into the washing machine for easy cleaning. Amazon Coolaroo The Original Cooling Elevated Dog Bed Dimensions: 51 x 31.5 x 8 inches (large) | Type: Elevated cot | Size options: Small, medium, large, XL | Materials: Powder-coated alloy steel, HDPE fabric | Colors: 9 total, including tan, navy blue and terracotta Pros: Breathable and joint-friendly elevated design UV-resistant, Greenguard Gold–certified fabric Chew-resistant frame Fabric covered against UV degradation for one year Cons: Some dogs don't like the raised construction If your dog tends to chew or scratch, the Coolaroo elevated bed is tougher than typical cooling mats. It has a sturdy metal frame that's difficult for dogs to damage (and not very appealing to chew in the first place), and the tightly stretched fabric leaves very little for pups to grab onto. Because the bed sits about 8 inches off the ground, air easily circulates underneath to help your dog stay cool even on hot days. The breathable mesh fabric comes in several colors, is designed to resist UV rays and cleans up easily with just a quick spray from the hose. Dog owners say this bed lasts longer than typical cooling mats, and if your pup eventually tears through the mesh, you can buy a replacement cover rather than replacing the whole thing.

We regularly review this story for accuracy and relevance; it was last updated in July 2025 by co-author Kelly O'Sullivan. To find the best cooling dog beds for your pet, we closely compared and evaluated popular cooling dog beds from well-known and reliable brands like K&H Pet Products, Green Pet Shop and Frisco by Chewy. Our home and kitchen editorial team analyzed key features, such as bed materials, size options, cooling effectiveness and how supportive or comfortable each bed was for dogs. We consulted a veterinarian to understand exactly what pet owners should look for, especially around safety, cooling technology and dog comfort. We prioritized beds made with breathable fabrics or cooling elements like gel-infused foam, water chambers or elevated designs that allow airflow. We carefully considered customer reviews, selecting only beds with at least a 4-star average rating, and noted common pros or recurring complaints from real dog owners. What To Look For In The Best Cooling Dog Beds The best cooling dog beds come in different styles, but they all have a few important things in common. Here's what our veterinary expert recommends considering when choosing one that will actually work for your pup. Type Cooling dog beds generally fall into three main styles: elevated cots, orthopedic beds made from gel-infused memory foam and mats filled with gel or water. Elevated cots, like the K&H Original Bolster Pet Cot or Coolaroo Elevated Bed, lift dogs off the warm ground, allowing air to circulate freely underneath. Orthopedic cooling beds, such as the Frisco Cooling Orthopedic Dog Bed, don't necessarily feel cold, but use breathable or gel-infused foams that help prevent heat buildup, similar to cooling mattresses for people. Water- or gel-filled mats, like the K&H Coolin' Comfort Bed, absorb body heat and feel cool to the touch without requiring electricity or freezing. Safety Cooling beds generally contain safe, non-toxic materials, but it's still important to monitor your dog closely at first—especially puppies or heavy chewers. Warner recommends extra caution with younger dogs: 'For puppies, I would suggest using them under supervision at first, as very young animals are still learning to regulate their temperature and should not overcool.' Warner also points out that while gel-based beds usually aren't toxic, the gel should never be ingested. If your dog is a persistent chewer, she suggests choosing elevated beds with metal frames or using cooling mats placed underneath regular bedding. Size Most cooling beds come in multiple sizes, and the right fit depends on your dog's measurements and how they prefer to sleep. Carefully compare your dog's length to product dimensions to get the best fit. 'The bed should be large enough for your dog to be able to stretch out fully, since contact with the cooling surface is what provides the intended benefits,' says Warner. For larger breeds or dogs who sprawl out when sleeping, an oversized option like the XXL Frisco Cooling Orthopedic Dog Bed, which measures 48 inches long, can offer plenty of space. When deciding between two sizes, sizing up is usually the most comfortable option. Do Cooling Beds Really Work for Dogs? Cooling beds actually do make a difference, especially if your dog gets hot easily. They won't work miracles, but breathable fabrics, cooling gel or an elevated design can help to draw heat away from your dog's body. Older dogs, heavy-coated breeds and flat-faced pups typically appreciate these beds the most, but they're useful for any dog who gets restless or uncomfortable on warmer days. What Should Dogs Sleep On In Summer? During the summer, dogs who tend to overheat may be more comfortable sleeping on cool and breathable surfaces rather than thick bedding or blankets. Cooling mats, elevated cots that promote airflow or beds made from gel-infused memory foam are good summer options. It also helps to place your dog's bed somewhere shady or near a fan or air conditioner to keep them extra comfortable. Do Elevated Dog Beds Keep Dogs Cool? Yes, elevated dog beds can help dogs cool down in hot weather. They lift your dog off warm surfaces like carpet, concrete or grass and allow air to flow underneath their bodies, which helps reduce heat buildup. If you put the bed in a shady spot or near a breeze, whether that's outside or close to an indoor fan, the bed will be more effective.
