Dog lovers around the world may find it hard to look their male, canine friends in the eyes again after watching Genndy Tartakovsky's upcoming adult animated movie Fixed. The R-rated comedy follows the adventures of Bull an average, all-around good dog who discovers he's going to be taken to the vet to be neutered in the morning by his owners, exasperated by his constant humping of grandma's leg. More from Deadline Everything We Know About 'Stranger Things' Season 5 So Far Michelle Monaghan Joins John Cena & Eric André In Netflix Comedy 'Little Brother' Austin Nichols Teases 'One Tree Hill' Revival As He Hopes For "Some Good News Soon" As the gravity of this life-altering event sets in, Bull realizes he needs one last adventure with his pack of best friends in the last 24 hours with his balls intact. Netflix has released a red band director's cut trailer for the movie – giving a taster of the whacky boundary-pushing animation ahead of its launch on the platform on August 13. The movie world premiered to an enthusiastic crowd at the Annecy International Film Festival in June and also received a thumbs up from Deadline Chief Critic Pete Hammond. Read his review here. Comedian and actor Adam Divine (Pitch Perfect) voices Bull and is joined in the voice cast by Idris Elba as a self-assured boxer named Rocco, Bobby Moynihan as goofy pal Lucky, and Fred Armisen as wannabe influencer dachshund Fetch.

Rise of the 'Oodles': Designer poodle crossbreeds are surging in popularity - so, do you know your Bolonoodle from your Chipoo?
It might sound like something you'd order in an Italian restaurant, or the sound that someone makes when they sneeze. But the Bolonoodle and the Chipoo are among the designer crossbreeds that are surging in popularity, experts have revealed. Poodle mixes are becoming increasingly fashionable thanks to their fun-loving, highly intelligent and gentle temperaments. They also have hypoallergenic coats which don't tend to shed - a lifesaver for those with allergies or who don't like dog hair on the sofa. While the Cockapoo and Havapoo are some of the most common mixes, there are some lesser-known 'Oodle' crosses which are guaranteed to make you smile. The Bolonoodle, for example, is a cross between the Poodle and the Bolognese dog breeds. The result? A fluffy, affectionate hybrid dog with an excellent name. The Pomapoo, meanwhile, is a mix between a Poodle and a Pomeranian. The adorable crossbreed is small and intelligent and, while it is still not common in the UK, it is growing in popularity. The Pugoodle, or Pugapoo, is a cross between a Pug and a Poodle, while the Twoodle is an impressive mix of a Teddy Bear Schnoodle and an English Goldendoodle - a mouthful for even the most avid dog lover. Those who love a Scottish Terrier may be interested in a Scoodle. This is the result of crossing the breed with the Poodle. Also known as a Scottie Poo, they are highly intelligent as well as being energetic and playful. Experts have described them as 'stubborn at times' - but they are generally easy to train. Next, the famous Chihuahua turns into a Choodle or a Chipoo when crossed with a Poodle. Weighing in typically between five to 15 pounds (2.3-6.8kg) and standing at around six to 10 inches (15-25cm) tall, they are ideal for households seeking a small-sized companion. A cross between a Jack Russell Terrier and a Poodle creates a Jackoodle or Jackapoo, while a Havanese-Poodle mix is called a Havoodle or Havapoo. Finally a Westipoo - a charming little dog with a big personality - is the result of a cross between the Poodle and a West Highland White Terrier. The amusing dog names have been revealed by Australian pet travel company Skye Pets. It analysed data from online searches related to the adoption, rescue and ownership of these 'Oodle' breeds and found that searches for Bolonoodles have boomed by 400 per cent in the last three months. Meanwhile a new wave of crossbreeds is beginning to attract attention through Google search trends, it found, and are being referred to as 'breakthrough breeds' due to their recent emergence online. Those that might become popular in 2026 include the Shih-Poo (Shih Tzu x Poodle), the Yorkie Oodle (Yorkshire Terrier x Poodle) and even the Whoodle (Wheaten Terrier x Poodle), it said. 'We've definitely seen a rise in Oodle-type dogs travelling with us,' Joanna Maddison, founder of Skye Pets, said. 'Our recommendation for anyone looking to become a parent to an Oodle-mix one day is to always try to adopt or rescue first. 'If that isn't possible, we encourage all Oodle-lovers to only select ethical breeders.' A separate study, carried out by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) in London and published in 2023, revealed the 150 most common mixes in the UK. Unsurprisingly Cockapoos - a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle - claimed the top spot. But others included in the list were the Pomsky (Pomeranian x Siberian Husky), the Tibetan Puff (Tibetan Terrier x Chinese Crested Powder Puff) and the Bug (Boston Terrier x Pug). Meanwhile a Chiweenie is a cross between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund, and if you mix a Labrador and a Dalmatian you get a Dalmador. Commenting on the study at the time Dr Dan O'Neill, Associate Professor in Companion Animal Epidemiology at the RVC and lead author of the paper, said: 'With 800 dog breeds available in the UK, this VetCompass study shows there are still plenty of healthy breeds to choose from that do not suffer from extreme body shapes such as flat faces, skin folds or absent tails. 'Despite this, many UK owners are still persuaded by social influences and trends into acquiring dogs with extreme body shapes that are likely to result in serious health issues during much of their dogs' lives. 'The advice is to stop and think before buying a dog with an extreme body shape.'

German Shepherd Visits Mom at Work and Instantly Gets the Zoomies
German Shepherd Visits Mom at Work and Instantly Gets the Zoomies originally appeared on Parade Pets. Sometimes we just can't contain our excitement. Maybe you got a promotion at work or earned a higher-than-expected grade on that final exam. Perhaps you scored a last-second goal to win the game. Or maybe the thrill of seeing your favorite singer perform a live show has got your heart beating way faster than usual. Dogs can feel that same energy and release it in the absolute cutest way! Pieck the is sure feelin' it! On a recent trip to her pet mamma's office, Pieck absolutely loses it. In a video uploaded to TikTok, we get to see her spin in circles and dart from room to room. And just like any kid will do, she gets a full head of steam going and slides across the hardwood office floors. 'When you bring your dog to the office for the first time,' Pieck's pet parent notes in the caption. 'I should have seen this coming.' This girl's childlike exuberance is so sweet to see! 'OMG so cute!' said a fan on TikTok. 'She's so happy!' I wonder what got her so excited at the office? Maybe she had a meeting that got canceled? (We've been there!) Perhaps her doggie manager told her they'd be away from the office and offline for about a week? Those are the kinds of things that delight most workers! 'So much room for zooms!' added another course, zooms or zoomies, known as frenetic random activity periods, are sudden, intense bursts of energy in dogs, where they run around erratically, often in circles or zigzags. This behavior is a normal way for dogs to release pent-up energy, relieve stress, or express excitement. Other viewers shared stories about taking their pups to the office, and I just can't get over some of the sweet tales they shared. 🐶🐾🐾 'When I take my dog to the office, he takes me STRAIGHT to payroll, cuz they give him treats,' said a commenter. Taking your pets to the office can be so much fun, and based on the joy Pieck shows, maybe I'll bring my two cats to the office one day. OK, maybe not. But a gal can dream, right?

Speedy Dog Living Near Tracks Tries to Outrun Every Train That Passes
Speedy Dog Living Near Tracks Tries to Outrun Every Train That Passes originally appeared on PetHelpful. Pubity shared a video on TikTok at the beginning of July that has everybody in stitches. It features a dog named Saber who lives near some train tracks. Anytime a train passes, it becomes a challenge for Saber to beat it in a race the train isn't aware it's taking part in! The video is short, just about 8 seconds long, and shows Saber waiting intently for the arriving train to get closer. As soon as the train meets up with Saber, the race is on! Saber gave that train a run for its money! He was running as fast as he could and you could see the determination on his face. People left hundreds of comments about @Pubity's video, and some of them cracked us up. @Rizz Muffin pointed out, "The fact that he waits for wants a fair race! LOL!" @SouthSidePG was impressed, too, "Wow! Saber waited until the train was even with him before he started running. And still kept up!!" Another commenter agreed, "He even waited for the train to catch up and still showed you he can run as fast as a train!" Commenter @Gunt_Z wondered, "Does bro come back or just run forever?" @Luke25fss responded, "Saber's been reported missing for 3 days now. Some say he's still chasing the train." @Sir Oblivion joked, 'Tell him Greyhound is buses, not trains."Commenter @AK shared, "He's a Greyhound - they race and are built for that!" While we're not entirely sure that Saber is a Greyhound, he sure loves to run like they do! We all know Greyhounds are fast, but just how fast they are is mind blowing. Rover shared, "While there are many fast dogs in the world, the Greyhound is by far the fastest. Over a distance of 100 meters, male Greyhounds are capable of reaching speeds up to 45 miles per hour, while females can hit 41 MPH." "Greyhounds are so fast they leave even famously speedy dog breeds, like the Border Collie and the German Shepherd, in the dust. These powerful working pups achieve speeds closer to 30 mph. And while Greyhounds might be popularly known as sprinters rather than endurance runners, they can still sustain a speed of 35 mph for as much as seven miles." Wow!
