Dog Can't Contain Excitement Over Hearing Dad's Home—But There's a Twist
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. Internet users can't get enough of a dog's delighted reaction when she realized her owner was home, but as it turns out, he'd been there all along. There's nothing quite like a dog's excitable reaction when you walk through the door and the overload of affection they like to provide. But dog owner Bobby from Maryland doesn't even need to leave his home to generate that kind of reaction from his Annabelle the American Bully. Indeed, his wife, Danni Keane, captured the moment she told Annabelle that "daddy's home," just to see the sheer excitement. Annabelle quickly ran over and lavished Bobby with plenty of fuss—despite the fact that he hadn't been anywhere. Keane loves seeing the joy in Annabelle's face when she thinks her dad has just got back, telling Newsweek that it makes her "heart happy." Annabelle's adorable welcome home party consisted of endless slobbery kisses, tail wags, and climbing all over Bobby. Annabelle smothering her owner Bobby with kisses when she thought he'd just returned home. Annabelle smothering her owner Bobby with kisses when she thought he'd just returned home. @annabelle_and_norman / TikTok "I think it's cute how excited she gets when he's home," Keane said. "It's also a good way to distract her from barking. She had been standing at the fence barking at her squirrel friends in the tree, so in order to get her to take a break, I decided to tell her daddy's home, thinking she would run over to him and leave the squirrels alone." Annabelle stayed on the garden couch with her dad for several minutes before getting distracted by another squirrel in the tree. In that sense, she's a complete opposite to her littermate Norman. "Norman is a momma's boy, and Annabelle is a daddy's girl. Norman is very laid back and he likes to sleep and eat. Annabelle is an energizer bunny who never stops. She's always on alert, waiting for something to bark at," Keane said. She continued: "Norman bonded with me and Annabelle bonded with my husband when they were just a few weeks old. Norman still needs his daddy time though and will whine when he needs his love. Annabelle needs me when she's overtired." After capturing Annabelle's hilarious reaction to "her favorite words," Keane shared the clip on TikTok (@annabelle_and_norman). Needless to say, social media users can't cope with her excitement, and the video has gone viral with over 1.7 million views and 314,800 likes at the time of writing. The online response has been overwhelming, as many lauded Annabelle's undeniable joy, while some dog owners could relate to the love bombing. Annabelle will react this way without fail if her dad is home, regardless of how long it's been since she last gave him kisses. However, if he's gone out, it's a very different story. Keane told Newsweek: "If he isn't home yet, she will whine and go from the window to the door looking for him. She gets upset if she can't find him or if he takes too long coming inside the house." In the days since the video went viral, it has already gained more than 700 comments on TikTok. One comment reads: "I didn't know he left, how embarrassing, welcome home!" Another TikTok user wrote: "She is like omg I haven't seen you all day." Another person added: "Well to be fair, she hadn't seen him in a solid 30 seconds..." While one commenter joked: "Why do they only come in too smart for their own good, and head empty?" Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Oban man had to put his pet dog down - so strangled it in the bathroom
An Oban man who pleaded guilty to strangling his American Bully dog has been warned he faces jail for the 'awful' crime. Harry Russell, 42, killed his dog, called Rex, after a neighbour complained about his pet's aggressive behaviour. After agreeing with his then-partner that Rex should be put down, Russell took the dog into a bathroom and throttled him to death, Oban Sheriff Court was told. Russell appeared in court yesterday and admitted carrying out the killing at an address on Hazeldene Crescent, Oban, in April 2021. Sheriff Euan Cameron told Russell that, given his criminal record, his actions crossed the custodial threshold 'and then some'. Depute fiscal Raeesa Ahmed said that Russell, of Kerrera Terrace, Oban, and his then partner had adopted Rex at the age of two. Rex had a psychological disorder and was aggressive to other dogs. She said: 'During April 2021, the complainer was in the locus when a neighbour had cause for complaint about Rex's behaviour. 'The accused had gone out to get Rex and brought him into the living room of the house. 'The accused and the complainer agreed that Rex's behaviour was not acceptable, so they agreed they would have Rex put down. 'The complainer said she would contact the vets to have the dog put down, but the accused stopped her, saying 'I have to do this myself'. 'Russell had been drinking heavily at the time and was behaving aggressively to the complainer. He said it was his dog. 'The complainer had seen him angry before but did not expect him to kill the dog.' The woman went outside to check on her children, and when she came back 10 minutes later, she saw Russell kneeling over the dog in the bathroom. He appeared to be strangling it. 'The complainer said 'what the hell are you doing?,'' Miss Ahmed said. 'He didn't look up and continued to strangle the dog. It went on for a minute. 'Thinking [Rex] was dead. Russell was then angry. 'The complainer said the dog Rex was not moving. It was at that moment that the accused and complainer heard the dog gargle. 'The complainer told Russell to leave the dog alone. The accused ignored her and got back on top of the dog to strangle him.' Rex died moments later. The complainer then dragged Rex's body into the bathroom and exited the room via the window. 'That evening, the complainer took the dog to be buried at a place where he liked to walk.' The complainer was said to be 'terrified' of the accused and kept what had happened secret, telling people 'Rex had been put down'. But later she reported it to the police. The defence agent for JBM Law said they would reserve mitigation until the case is called again on June 11, but told the court: 'On the date of the offence, the neighbour had complained that [Rex] had bitten another dog.' The solicitor also noted that since the incident, Russell had turned his life around. Sheriff Euan Cameron said: 'What an utterly, awful, awful, awful thing to do. I am appalled by what I have heard. 'Because you have never served a custodial sentence, and you are already subject to a community payback order, I am calling for a criminal justice social work report. 'I am also seeking a restriction of liberty order assessment, and at the next calling, I will consider the Crown's motion for a disqualification order.' The disqualification order — if granted — could restrict Russell's ability to own or look after a dog or other animals in the future. Sheriff Cameron added: 'Custody is a possibility here, but I will reserve that decision until I have everything in front of me.'
