A 1-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier has left the internet in stitches after bursting into a case of the zoomies while his two canine companions remain frozen like statues.
In a video shared by Sofie Mårtensson (@zo.fine) on TikTok, her energetic gray Staffy can be seen frantically looping around with excitement, while the other two dogs—a white and a beige Staffordshire bull terrier—sit completely still. A loud bang echoes in the background, but the excitable pup doesn't skip a beat as he continues zooming. The video has racked up 52,200 likes and over 530,000 views.
"There's actually 3 dogs in this film, you see them all?" Sofie captioned the clip. "Guess the 1 year old," reads the text overlay on the video.
The Staffordshire bull terrier, known for its muscular build and loving nature, is described by the American Kennel Club as a breed that is clever, brave, and tenacious. They are affectionate with family members and, despite their powerful appearance, often have a surprisingly gentle temperament—especially with children.
What viewers witnessed in Sofie's video is commonly referred to as "the zoomies"—scientifically known as Frenetic Random Activity Periods (FRAPs). Zoomies are a completely normal dog behavior that usually involves bursts of high energy, often seen after a bath, during playtime, or when a dog is simply feeling overjoyed, according to Purina. It's a sign of a happy and healthy pup letting off steam.
TikTokers quickly took to the comments to joke about the contrast between the lively youngster and his stoic companions.
"Two dogs and a bolt of black lightning is all that is seen," said one user.
"The sound of him crashing into something," added another viewer.
"Something's glitching cause I keep seeing a flash of black on the video.. not sure if it's phone or your camera," said another.
"The other dog at the back, is me when I'm feeling overstimulated on a night out with my friends," joked another viewer.
"The dog infront saying 'he's the black sheep out of us," said one user.
"My 14-year-old staffy still runs around like that and people don't believe me when I tell them how old he is," shared another user, proving the breed doesn't necessarily slow down with age.

"Your other two are so done with the antics," quipped another.
"Two dogs and those black spots in my eyes. Does anyone know what they are. should i ask an optician. they are getting bigger," joked Sharon.
"I see two, i hear something... but a girl has to blink from time to time..." added Sabine.

Woman Films YouTube Video, Unprepared for What She Captures in Background
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 trying to record a YouTube video stopped in her tracks after capturing the moment her cat took a daring leap. TikTok user @ sat in front of the camera, preparing to film for a YouTube video she was creating. However, her July 15 post of the throwback clip, which reached over 5.8 million views on TikTok, showed her turning around with a confused look on her face as she heard a noise behind her. The first part of the video shows a black blob falling from the loft in the background, followed by a giant thud on the ground. It turned out to be her cat, Rex. The owner immediately gasped and called Rex's name once she realized what had happened. The incident happened in the blink of an eye, which is why she slowed down the moment and added to it the post. Viewers could see more clearly that Rex made the unexpected and horrifying leap from the second floor. The cat's tail moved around in circles like a helicopter. She assured viewers that the now 6-year-old cat is 100 percent safe and sound. This incident happened several years ago when Rex was a kitten. Newsweek reached out to @ via TikTok for additional information. 'Invaluable Lesson' People started to worry about Rex's condition after seeing his paws curled down when she held him. However, she shared in a follow-up video that his paws have always been this way. When she adopted him in 2019, both front legs were broken and reformed in a manner that makes him "army crawl." While Rex, luckily, walked away unscathed, not every cat gets that chance. Any time a cat falls from a height, they are at risk of injuring themselves, including broken jaws, teeth and limbs, a vet-approved article from Hepper stated. A cat's reflexes can help twist and align its body during a fall, ensuring it experiences as little injury as possible. They also have a vestibular apparatus, a balancing system in their inner ears, helping them determine which direction they face in the air. Their light bones and thick fur can help slow their fall. "I bet an invaluable lesson was learned on this day," wrote one viewer, which the owner confirmed he has never done since. "Not him trying to soften the blow with his helicopter tail," pointed out another. A third user said: "The way the helicopter tail has me WHEEZING."

'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.' Except maybe viral fame.
The sound of the summer is actually not a song — it's an ad. 'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday,' a catchphrase from the British airline's 2024 ad, mixed with English singer Jess Glynne's 2015 hit 'Hold My Hand,' has been used by more than 1.2 million users on TikTok, where it's become a viral hit in recent months. Searches for Jet2 holiday have also spiked in the last month, according to Google trends. The original Jet2 ad, which first appeared on the company's YouTube page last year, shows a family of four as they catch a Jet2 plane to their beachside summer vacation. Now, audio from the ad is being used more ironically in videos from users who juxtapose the soundbite with footage of chaotic holiday experiences. From catastrophic weather at picture-perfect resorts to passengers misbehaving on flights, the videos often document travel-related setbacks. No one was more surprised by the popularity of the ad than British actor Zoë Lister, the voice behind the viral audio. She recorded the ad about 18 months ago. 'Somebody sent me a video yesterday of Joe Jonas using the sound,' she told NBC News in a recent video interview. 'I was like, 'Oh, that's massive!'' Lister, who introduced herself as the actor behind the audio in a recent TikTok video, said it's been especially interesting to see the soundbite pick up in the United States, where Americans use the word 'vacation' rather than 'holiday.' 'They don't even know what Jet2 holiday is,' she joked. 'They don't have holidays, they have vacations. Holidays are like Christmas, right? But they have got so on board with the joyful silliness of it.' 'Going viral for something just that is really funny and joyful … that's quite a wonderful experience,' Lister added. One of the first videos to use the audio and garner millions of views was from a user who uploaded footage of what appears to be a camel attacking the person, according to meme database KnowYourMeme. Since being posted on TikTok in November 2024, the video has amassed 3.8 million views. Jet2 picked up on the popularity of the audio in the spring, posting a video on TikTok offering a giveaway for people who uploaded videos partaking in the trend. The travel company is known in the United Kingdom for offering low-cost vacations for British travelers, and providing charter flights to popular holiday destinations around the world, mostly in Europe. As for Glynne, Lister said the pop star also 'did not ask for any of this' fame. The singer's 'Darling, hold my hand' line from her song is now associated with the Jet2 phrase. The two met during a Capital FM radio appearance in London on Tuesday, which Lister described as a 'wild' moment in her life. She's 'a super cool mega pop star and I'm this like cheeseball,' Lister said. Lister, a mother of two, said she's trying to figure out how to navigate the newfound fame. She was a familiar face to many in the U.K.: From 2006-2017, she played Zoe Carpenter in the popular teen soap opera 'Hollyoaks,' which aired on Channel 4. But the virality has boosted her profile more, especially after she posted the TikTok video. 'What started happening this last week, which has been really bizarre, is when I've been on a train or in a cafe and I can hear people watching [the meme],' she said. 'And, last Friday I was out with my husband, because we were celebrating our anniversary. And the girls on the next table were literally recording their own 'nothing beat the Jet2 holiday' into their phone.' Her husband then asked the group recording the video if they would want to meet the 'the woman that does the voice.' 'It was actually such a brilliant, fun, joyful moment,' Lister said. 'And everyone was like excited. And we have photos. It was really fun.' She's hoping the virality will help her expand her horizons professionally. 'I've been planning a podcast for a while and I'm happy that now I've got more of a platform in which to launch something like that,' she said. 'I've got lots of things that I'd like to do creatively and I hope that this sort of infamy will help launch things.'

Kesha says Cassie Ventura sent her flowers before concert
Kesha had an abundance of love and support this week. After performing her single 'Praying' at her Madison Square Garden concert on Wednesday, the singer appeared to be in tears, according to video shared on social media by People. 'Earlier tonight Cassie sent me flowers backstage,' she said, referencing the singer Cassie Ventura. Ventura's 2023 civil lawsuit against her former boyfriend Sean 'Diddy' Combs, which was quickly settled without Combs admitting wrongdoing, and a video of him physically assaulting her in 2016 preceded criminal charges against the music producer. Combs is currently awaiting sentencing after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution folllowing an eight-week federal trial. He was acquitted of other charges, including sex trafficking. Amid the legal issues, Kesha changed a reference to Combs in her 2010 song 'Tik Tok.' She also showed support for Ventura, who was a witness in the Combs trial, describing her in a social media post as 'a beacon for every survivor.' Kesha was involved in a years-long legal dispute with music producer Dr. Luke, whose legal name is Lukasz Gottwald, following a 2014 lawsuit she filed against him as she sought to exit her recording contract in which she alleged he drugged, emotionally abused and sexually assaulted her. Gottwald denied those claims and filed a countersuit for defamation and breach of contract against Kesha. They resolved the dispute in 2023. 'All of this love is not only for me,' Kesha said Wednesday. 'It's for anyone who survived anything they shouldn't have had to survive.' CNN's Alli Rosenbloom contributed to this report
