Hysterics Over Moment Dog Realizes Owner Is at Groomer's
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Internet viewers can't get enough of this viral TikTok video showing the moment a dog realizes that it is time to go home while at the groomer's.
The text layered over the clip reads: "POV [point of view]—Trying to see how long it will take my dog to notice me at the groomers." Racking up more than 1.2 million views, it shows a small white dog called Teddy lying down in a cage, with his head facing away from the door.
But, within seconds, the 10-year-old dog turns to owner Rinadem @rinadem92, stands up, nods, and barks—as if to confirm he is indeed ready to go home.
Newsweek discussed the video, which has 183,000 likes, with animal expert Axel Lagercrantz, who shared the importance of dog grooming.
He said: "Primarily it's important for a dog's well-being, happiness and their general health. It can also be useful for detecting potential health issues like lumps, bumps or sores. This is especially true if your dog is shaggier or if they just love to roll around in the mud.
"Other benefits include keeping the amount of hair they leave around the house under control, if they're a dog breed that sheds, and making sure their coat looks brilliant," Lagercrantz added.
The average cost of a professional dog grooming session in the U.S. ranges from $40 to $75, depending on your pet's size. However, you can significantly cut this expense by opting to pamper and groom your canine at home.
"This has the added benefit of improving your bond with your dog, but, sometimes, if your dog is of a certain breed or type, professional help is required," said Lagercrantz, the CEO and co-founder of Pets4Homes, the U.K.'s largest pet-rehoming site.

Lagercrantz said that how often you should groom your dog depends greatly on the breed, their condition, and activity levels—as often as every six weeks for some canines, while once or twice a year is fine for others.
"Puppies should be introduced to a grooming routine early on in their lives so they get used to being handled and fussed over. If every grooming session is a pleasant experience, they will look forward to the next one with relish," Lagercrantz concluded.
While there is no denying that Teddy's coat is squeaky clean, TikTok users can't stop laughing at his haircut—as it looks just like a bob.
"This Dora the Explorer cut is sending me [laughing faces]," read one comment with over 27,000 views.
"The nod like 'well, get me the hell out of here,'" posted another, and a third user said: "Auditioning for the Beatles."

Jessica Biel reveals workout that gave her an ‘unattainable' peach-shaped butt on ‘The Better Sister'
No ifs, ands — but definitely some butts. Prime Video's new thriller series 'The Better Sister' has earned lots of fans, thanks in large part to leading ladies Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks. But the thing that no one can get over is how absolutely incredible Biel, 43, looked in that white dress — in fact, Biel has heard so much about how terrific her tush looked that she's sharing the workout that got it that way. 4 The middle-aged mom of two was literally slaying in it. Prime Video 'Everyone is talking — or telling me that they're really enjoying — The Better Sister, which is amazing… and also talking about the white dress,' she said on TikTok, responding to a commenter who begged her to 'drop the workout routine.' But first, Biel said, let's temper our expectations. 'I wanted to share that that peach shape in that show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness — which I cannot do,' she said. So while she got there for the series, keeping her butt like that full-time is, according to the star, a tall order. Having made everyone feel a little bit better about themselves, she went on to say that she is 'trying to get a little bit back towards that shape' and shared some of the workouts — courtesy of Pilates guru Ashley Brown — that gave her that delectable derriere. 4 'I wanted to share that that peach shape in that show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness…which I cannot do,' she said. Tiktok/@jessbiel Barbell hip thrusts Lie with your upper back supported on a bench, feet flat on the floor. Drive through heels to lift your hips until shoulders‑to‑knees form a straight line, squeezing the glutes at the top. If you don't have barbells, you can also use double dumbbells — as Biel does. Do 10 reps and 4 sets. 4 Jessica Biel performing Romanian deadlifts. Tiktok/@jessbiel Romanian deadlifts Stand tall holding dumbbells or a bar. Keeping your knees slightly bent, hinge at your hips and lower yourself down with your back straight, then squeeze hamstrings/glutes to stand back up. Also 10 reps and 4 sets. Hamstring curls Lie on your back with your feet on a stability ball. Lift hips, then curl the ball toward your glutes with your feet. Repeat 10-12 times with three sets. 4 The thing that no one can get over is how absolutely incredible Biel, 43, looked in that white dress. Prime Video Goblet step through lunge Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at your chest, then step backward (or laterally) into a deep lunge. Three sets of 6-8 reps. Cable/band medial‑glute kickbacks Anchor a resistance band or cable low and attach it to your ankle. Extend your leg straight back and up to activate the glute, especially the side/lateral muscles. Two sets of 10-12 reps, using a stronger band for the second set. @jessbiel Replying to @tori I've heard y'all are talking about the white dress 😏 I'm no expert but I want people to be healthy, safe, and strong. Remember to warm up and cool down, and let me know what other workouts you'd like to see! A big thank you to #AshleyBrown and @Ben Bruno for being the best teachers. ♬ BIRDS OF A FEATHER OFFICIAL INSTRUMENTAL – Dan Swift Del Rey Kettlebell deadbugs Lie on your back, holding a kettlebell with arms extended. Simultaneously lower opposite arm and leg toward the floor with control. Twelve reps total and two sets. Proving that she is in, fact, human, Biel was out of breath by the end of the video. 'Whoo, I'm tired,' she said. 'My body is not 20 years old anymore.'

Dog Owner Leaves Room for 2 Minutes, Can't Believe Sight She Walks Into
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 woman recently purchased a new duvet cover for herself, but after leaving it out of sight for just two minutes, she realized an unsuspecting thief had stolen it. Leigh placed her newly purchased duvet cover on the couch and then stepped out of the room for two minutes. She thought the duvet would be safe from being used or getting dirty. But when she came back into the room, she found her Chiweenie dog—a Chihuahua and Dachshund mix—had claimed it. Stunned at how quickly her dog, Pippin, took it over, Leigh snapped a picture and posted it on her X account @PervyPepper on July 9. Pippin managed to pull the entire cover around his small body like a burrito with only his snout and eyes poking out. A photo of Pippin, a chiweenie dog, who immediately claimed the newly uncovered duvet cover when the owner stepped out of the room. A photo of Pippin, a chiweenie dog, who immediately claimed the newly uncovered duvet cover when the owner stepped out of the room. @PervyPepper/X "He wraps himself up in whatever he can," Leigh told Newsweek. "If I leave a cardigan on the sofa, he'll be in the sleeve in a minute!" She should've expected Pippin to sneak into the blanket, given his history of snuggling, but with seven goats, eight gold fish, nine chickens, four dogs and over 20 cats in the house, Leigh's hands get full. She's a dedicated animal rescuer, always opening her house to animals in need. Leigh said people know her household has a "soft touch," and they'll drop off animals to her as rescues. It's hard for humans to resist a warm, fuzzy blanket, and surprisingly, dogs also gravitate toward the comfort and protection. A canine's natural instinct when frightened is to find a safe space. In the wild, this would be a den, and at home, kennels or beds. These familiar spaces make them feel safe. And while a blanket is not the same, the warmth and soft textures from a blanket give them the same feeling as a den or kennel, says an article from Wag Walking. It's a stress reliever. This behavior occurs more commonly in small dog breeds because they make easier prey in the wild. Although breeds accustomed to cold, harsh climates also burrow to protect themselves from harsh elements. What Do the Comments Say? People instantly fell in love with this unofficial bed tester, and as of Tuesday, the post reached over 2,800 retweets and 60,000 likes. "This is what 'Do not disturb' energy looks like. Unapologetically unavailable," commented a viewer. "He looked at that and thought, 'She's so nice to buy me a cozy new blanket,'" another X user responded. A third person said: "How else would you know if it's ok, doggy is obviously testing it to see if it's good enough for mummy."
