Dogs are smart when they want their owner's attention. To provide an apt example, this Instagram video shows how a Doberman named Arlo seeks his grandma's attention when he needs scratches. He even trains the lady in five steps to give proper scratches. In the caption, the uploader quipped, 'Enjoy your newly trained Grandma—results may vary.' Instagram video shows how Doberman teaches grandma the right way to scratch him In a hilarious video on Instagram, a Doberman named Arlo teaches his grandma the right way to scratch him. The clip begins with the pet and dog grandmother sitting on a couch while the owner seems to be recording the moment. As per the first step on 'How to Train Your Grandma,' Arlo stares into 'her soul.' When that doesn't work, he proceeds to the next step, 'Slap the air like you just don't care.' He moves his left front paw up and down heavily, which gives him loving scratches from grandma. Arlo doesn't want her to stop, so he implements the third step, making it 'personal' with a 'side eye.' He makes a similar gesture with his paw and gives a side eye to his grandma to earn more scratches. Arlo looks proud as an on-video line reads, 'That's the ticket!' Further, the grandmom stops petting her for a while as she concentrates on her device. This makes the dog jump to the fourth step— 'The 'Slap and Judge' —make your face say it all.' After succeeding in enjoying grandma's attention, he moves to the final step. Now, he waves his paws and ignores the old lady, who again obliges to give proper scratches to the pet. At the end, the video mentions that the training has been completed. Meanwhile, viewers have gone gaga over Arlo's antics in the clip. A user wrote, 'She loves her grandfurbboy and Arlo knows it lol,' while another stated, 'He is so gorgeous. Love how they connect with their hooman.' Many called the dog 'cute,' 'smart,' and 'funny.' Since the upload, the Doberman train scratches video has received over 15K likes. The post Video: Doberman Trains Grandma How to Give Proper Scratches appeared first on DogTime.

Hysterics As Dog Tries To Protect Owner From Wolf Statue
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. In a viral TikTok video, a New York City pup stands up for his owner against what he thinks is a dangerous predator, and internet users can't cope with the heartwarming footage. The post shared on Thursday under the username @konathelab5, shows the yellow Labrador retriever walking on a leash with his owner as they encounter the statue of a very realistic-looking wolf along the way. The pup is immediately suspicious, and he stares the wolf down and smells it, before finally barking and lunging at him as warning him not to go near his owner. "My dog trying to protect me from the wolf statue," reads layover text in the clip. "Must protect my little mum!!" the caption says. Most pups love their owners unconditionally, but not all of them are able to protect you like the one in the clip. Badger Veterinary Hospital Cambridge says that, when selecting a guard dog for your family, you should consider factors such as compatibility with children, energy levels, trainability, and temperament. The best breeds for this purpose are probably German shepherds. They are loyal, intelligent, and easily trained, making them excellent family guardians. Next on the list are rottweilers, naturally wary and highly intelligent but can be loving with proper training and socialization. Doberman pinschers are loyal, athletic, and protective but need daily exercise and early obedience training. Boxers are playful and friendly with a protective instinct, though they require plenty of activity. Other great guardian pups include Bernese mountain dogs, which are gentle and alert watchdogs, ideal for families with kids but need regular grooming; and giant schnauzers, a large, loyal breed that is good with children if raised alongside them. Great Danes, Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernards, and bullmastiffs are also great choices when it comes to personal protection. For guidance on choosing the right breed for your family, consult your veterinarian or dog trainer. Stock image: A yellow Labrador retriever barks in the park.

One user, Thoseinperil, commented: "We all laugh but imagine how freaky uncanny valley must be to dogs who don't even know what that is." Emma Dailey posted: "We don't want any problems sir but I WILL solve one of it arises …" RealKatieWilliams added: "Now give him a pat on the head and tell him he's a good boy for protecting mom."

This is officially America's best city for nightlife right now
A good night out means different things to different people. Maybe it's sweating it out on a dancefloor until dawn. Maybe it's catching up over a glass of wine, immersing yourself in rare grooves at a listening bar or even wiling away the hours at a sober club. Whatever your style, America's nightlife scene has it all, but one city stands out above the rest. According to Time Out, Las Vegas has been crowned not only the best nightlife city in the U.S., but the world's best nightlife city for 2025. The city scored an impressive 88-percent approval rating from a survey of locals and won praise from Time Out's expert panel. Sin City still brings the classic casino vibes and and mega-clubs with confetti drops, but the city's after-dark scene has evolved. These days, the real magic often happens off the Strip. Vegas's Arts District is home to cocktail lounges like Stray Pirate, Doberman and Nocturno, where bartenders craft creative drinks with wild infusions. Locals love the city's speakeasies, too: There's one hidden behind a barbershop, another behind a bookshelf at a Malaysian eatery and another called The Lock, which you literally crawl into through a safe door. Add tiki bars, live music joints and art-filled night markets, and it's easy to see why most locals call their nightlife 'exciting.' While Vegas is the only U.S. city to be named among the world's best, America's top nightlife cities are far from tame. At number two, Chicago keeps the party going with its mix of gritty dive bars, rooftop lounges, legendary house music clubs and late-night blues joints. Coming in third is New Orleans, where the soundtrack never stops. Frenchmen Street overflows with brass bands, funk collectives and soul singers playing to crowds that spill onto the sidewalk. The Quarter still has its rowdy energy, but locals swear by the smaller spots—dark, intimate bars where the cocktails are strong and the vibe is easygoing. Miami and New York, nightlife juggernauts, round out the top five. Whether it's a huge rave or a quiet whisky at an underground lounge, nightlife in the U.S. has never looked more diverse—or more fun. And right now, Vegas is leading the charge.

Doberman Goes Outside To Sit in Sun—Laughter As He Gets Unexpected Visitor
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. The internet has been awed by a sweet video of a dog baffled by a butterfly who seems determined to settle on his nose. Bogota the Doberman lives in Europe with his owners and dog brother Moose, a German Shorthaired Pointer. The two dogs' owners have shared plenty of their adventures through the years, from exploring the beach in sunny Spain to a frosted countryside in winter, and interacting with wildlife on walks. Now, a video of the wildlife interacting with Bogota has gone viral, since being posted to their TikTok account @ on July 22. Viewed close to a million times in a matter of hours, and boasting over 115,000 likes, Bogota's owner captioned it: "The sweetest clip of our Doberman Bogota being harassed by a butterfly." The clip shows Bogota relaxing on an outdoor deck in the sun, looking towards the sky with a puzzled expression, as a butterfly rests on the tip of his nose. As he moves his head, the insect flutters away, only to return and land on his nose seconds later, as Bogota's owner laughs out loud. Bogota first looks at his owner, the butterfly still resting on his nose, but when she doesn't come to help, he rests his head on the ground and tries to gently brush off the insect with his paw. And it works—for just a second, until the butterfly's path comes straight back to his nose. The dog opens his mouth as though to snap at the butterfly, but when it lands on his mouth this time, he appears to change his mind, and shakes his head again to brush it away. The entire time, Bogota is still lying in the same spot, as though annoyed but not bothered enough to get up and move. And the video ends with the butterfly finding a new resting place, this time on the top of his head. TikTok users were obsessed, one joking: "No animals or insects were harmed in the making of this video." "What Disney movie is this?" another asked, while one joked the insect was the "Evel Knievel of butterflies." Moose the Doberman with a butterfly on his nose. Moose the Doberman with a butterfly on his nose. TikTok @ Another asked: "What obsession does the butterfly have with landing on the dog's nose?" as another suggested the insect was "looking for water to drink from." Butterflies and other insects are known to partake in a behavior called puddling, where they gather on mineral-rich substrates including mud, carrion and even tears and sweat. In butterflies, it is thought to help compensate for limited access to micronutrients such as sodium and nitrogen, according to a study in Annals of the Entomological Society of America.
