Puppy Left Home Alone Outside Crate, Owner Films 'Disaster' They Return To
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
In a viral Instagram video shared in July, an English bulldog puppy was left home alone for the first time out of her crate, and her owner was not ready for what she found when she returned home an hour later.
The hilarious clip, shared under the username @dgeorge.n.daisy.englishbulldogs, has a caption that says, "when you leave your puppy home alone outside of the crate for their first time and think you're coming home to a disaster."
However, as the poster returns, prepared for the worst, she finds her puppy nestled between the couch and the pillows undisturbed, napping like a little angel all on her own.
"Daisy's first time home alone outside of the crate for over an hour and this is what we come home to … A sweet sleepy princess," the caption says.
Pet MD says that bulldogs aren't known for being very active, or for showing naughty behaviors such as excessive barking or digging. However, when they get bored, they may experience destructive behaviors, like all other pups.
Destructive behavior in dogs can often be treated by identifying the root cause and implementing a consistent training and lifestyle adjustments.
Treatment typically focuses on modifying the dog's environment and behavior, such as providing stimulating toys, reducing unsupervised time, and increasing physical activity and socialization.
Dogs showing signs of separation anxiety may benefit from gradual desensitization to being alone and learning to dissociate cues like jingling keys from being left alone.
It is important to discourage attention-seeking behaviors by only giving attention when the dog is calm. In severe cases, veterinarians may recommend medication for anxiety. Punishment is highly discouraged.

The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 223,000 views and almost 15,000 likes on the platform.
One user, Laura.s.koehler, commented: "This happened to us too. If I forget something or come back early, she looks at me like, 'Why are you here?'"
Kelliebiggins posted: "One day a week my bulldog stays home alone 8am-4pm … I honestly think it's her favorite day … She's exhausted from us all being home in the days prior and goes on a snooze marathon!"
Angelabananangela added: "Why they always messing up the pillows though?!?"

‘Model' traveled to another country to get butt implants — and they fell out: ‘I felt something come out'
Watch your behind. A millennial woman who spent thousands of dollars on implants to enhance her derriere experienced the unthinkable — her butt implants falling out. Chelsea Robinson, a self-proclaimed model and businesswoman, is no stranger to plastic surgery — and isn't afraid to spend whatever, or go wherever it takes to get the results she wants. So far, she has spent over $140,000 in total on various procedures. 3 The 29-year-old shared her story on the UK show 'Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection.' Instagram/@miss_robinson95 So the 29-year-old thought nothing of booking a flight to the Dominican Republic from London in 2019 for a butt implant procedure, since the Caribbean is known for offering more affordable yet skilled procedures compared to the US. During a sit-down interview with British TV personality Olivia Attwood for her UK show 'Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection,' Robinson recalled the traumatizing story of how her plastic surgery went wrong. '…when I got back from there [the DR], I went to the gym. I was squatting in the gym, and I felt something,' the 29-year-old explained. 'My leg went all tingly, and I felt something come out. My implant was hanging.' 3 Robinson experienced the unthinkable after her butt implant surgery. Instagram/@miss_robinson95 What Robinson experienced is rare — but possible. It's normal for butt implants to shift around as you use the muscles in that area. However, if they move too much — it can be a cause for concern. 'Excessive implant shifting is typically caused by a tissue pocket that is too large for the implant, which leaves room for the implant to shift,' according to Westlake Dermatology. 'Shifted implants give your buttocks an unnatural shape and require revision surgery to properly place and secure the butt implant.' Which is what happened to Robinson, as she had spent $85,567 on corrective surgeries to fix her booty. 3 There are a lot of risky things that can come with getting any sort of butt surgery. anatoliy_gleb – And not only is having a butt implant moving around possible — but patients also have to be aware that a side effect of butt surgeries is a stinky smell. 'The BBL smell is real,' Dr. Eric Anderson from Chicago-based Impressions Face + Body told the Daily Mail. It's often described as musty or sour, according to South Shore Plastic Surgery. Two causes of this side effect are not keeping your — ahem, behind — clean or tissue death, also known as fat necrosis. 'When there is more fat in an area than the blood supply allows, the fat will die through a smelly process called fat necrosis, which can lead to infections that need antibiotics, hospitalizations, and even sepsis,' Anderson told the outlet.

Up to 85,000 women may have had postnatal depression last year, analysis finds
Up to 85,000 new mothers in England may have been impacted by postnatal depression last year, according to new analysis. The illness can be 'truly devastating' when left untreated, potentially leading to the 'unnecessary' deaths of women and sometimes their babies, the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) warned. Postnatal depression is a condition that can develop after childbirth. While many women may feel tearful or anxious after giving birth, this does not usually last for more than two weeks. Persistent feelings of sadness, low mood, a lack of interest in things and a lack of energy could indicate postnatal depression. Other symptoms can include trouble sleeping, withdrawing from other people, problems concentrating and scary thoughts, such as thinking about hurting your baby. Using Office for National Statistics data which shows there were 567,708 live births in 2024, RCPsych estimates between 56,000 to 85,000 mothers – or between 10% to 15% – may have experienced postnatal depression. The college highlights that maternal suicide is the leading cause of death in women from six weeks to a year after birth and also said prenatal mental illness – conditions that develop during pregnancy – can put unborn babies at risk of premature birth or low birth weight. RCPsych is urging women and their partners to seek support for these treatable conditions. Dr Trudi Seneviratne, consultant perinatal psychiatrist and immediate past RCPsych registrar, said: 'Women can experience an enormous amount of change, including increased stress factors when they become pregnant, and this may negatively affect their mental health. 'Postnatal depression is far more common than many people realise and can have a devastating impact on mothers, babies and families if left untreated.' Treatment for postnatal depression can include talking therapies or antidepressants. Dr Seneviratne stressed that medics are trained to ensure medication is safe to take when pregnant or breastfeeding, and warned that the risks of untreated depression outweigh the risk of antidepressants. 'Mothers who receive talking therapy and other forms of care from mental health services will often be able to recover, but some might be so unwell that they need medication, including antidepressants,' she said. 'Medication helps save lives. The dangers of untreated depression far outweigh the risks of antidepressants. 'The unnecessary deaths of mothers and sometimes their babies that result from failure to treat these conditions are truly devastating. 'Doctors are trained to ensure that the medication they prescribe is as safe as possible to take while pregnant or breastfeeding. Medication should be reviewed regularly, and any side effects closely monitored. 'For children to thrive, they need as good a start in life as possible, and this is important not only for the child and their mother but also communities and society as well. We all have a role to play in ensuring mothers and their partners feel confident seeking support when they need it.'

Canned Fruit Recall Sparks Nationwide Warning to Customers
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. W.W. Industrial Group is recalling Parashore brand pear slices in juice due to fears the product may contain elevated levels of lead and cadmium. Newsweek reached out to the company via phone Wednesday for comment and left a voicemail. Why It Matters Elevated levels of lead and cadmium can cause significant health problems, particularly among infants and children. The recall adds to a growing list of high-profile food safety actions, emphasizing the ongoing importance of vigilant federal oversight and thorough product testing to protect public health. Lead and cadmium are both toxic metals that can enter the food supply from environmental sources, such as contaminated soil or industrial byproducts. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), lead exposure poses particular risks to young children, whose developing brains are highly susceptible to neurotoxic effects. Elevated lead intake in early childhood has been linked to long-term issues affecting learning and behavior. Cadmium contamination can arise from soil composition, industrial activities and certain manufacturing processes. Prolonged exposure to cadmium, especially at levels above the FDA's interim reference level, can affect kidney function and increase the risk of bone demineralization. While it is not possible to completely prevent cadmium from entering the food supply, manufacturers are legally required to minimize and monitor such risks. Numerous recalls have been initiated in 2025 due to the potential for damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the FDA, the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts. What To Know In the FDA alert, the recalled sliced pears were distributed throughout grocery outlet stores in California and other locations across the United States. The products were sold in a 15-ounce can with a UPC number of #704817164237. "The specific lot found positive for heavy metals was Lot 3700/01172 6122J, Prod: 02/19/2024, Best by 2/19/2027," the FDA warns. The agency adds that there had been no reported illnesses related to the recall as of Tuesday. What People Are Saying The FDA alert, in part: "The heavy metal contamination was discovered via sampling by the Maryland Department of Health which is part of the FDA Laboratory Flexible Funding Model program. The company has recalled the products and is continuing an investigation to determine cause." What Happens Next Customers who have purchased the recalled pear slices are urged to throw them away or return the product to the original place of purchase for a full refund, the FDA says. People with additional questions can contact W.W. Industrial Group via phone at 516- 676-9188 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET weekdays.
