‘Black magic' horror in Bengaluru: Woman slits pet dog's throat, hides body at home
A woman hailing from West Bengal has allegedly killed one of her pet Labradors as a "sacrifice" by strangling him and kept its decomposing body in her Bengaluru apartment for several days, in what is believed to be a case of occult or ritualistic practices. The accused, Triparna Paik, slit the throat of one of her three Labrador dogs and then wrapped the body in cloth inside her apartment in Mahadevapura, NDTV reported. The foul smell from the decomposed canine brought the scene to the attention of neighbours, who then alerted the Bengaluru civic body (BBMP). When officials arrived at the scene, Paik resisted their entry and even threatened to commit suicide, prompting them to call the police. Inside the apartment, authorities found the decomposed remains of one dog and two others suffering from severe neglect. Triparna, who earlier had four Labradors, had reportedly lost one of them four months ago. The apartment was decorated with pictures of deities and puja items, leading authorities to believe that a "tantric" or black magic ritual may have been performed, NDTV reported. The post-mortem report revealed that the dog had died around four days earlier. Officials said the flat's sealed condition and lack of ventilation led to a strong, unbearable stench, raising health concerns among neighbouring residents. A case has been filed under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act along with relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has stated that the surviving dogs are currently being assessed for rescue and rehabilitation.

Labrador Puppy Makes Best Friend at Doggy Daycare—Then Owner Gets a Message
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 inseparable bond between two identical Labradors who met at doggy daycare has caught the attention of viewers on Reddit, after their owner posted that the unexpected happened once the two became closer friends. The owner of one of the dogs took to the platform on June 18 to share an image of the two best friends sitting side by side. Viewers were then told through an accompanying text what the pet owner had discovered about the duo's warm bond. "Meet Stella (right) our 5-month-old puppy and her best friend Roxie (left) who is also a 5-month-old girl," Stella's owner, who goes by u/mitpenco on Reddit, said. "They recently met at doggy daycare and instantly became inseparable." After Stella and Roxie's owners found out that their identical pets share the same birthday, they decided to dig a little deeper. Stella's owner recalled the moment the pair realized that their dogs are actually siblings, recent littermates even. "Fast forward to last night and we receive a message from the breeder we got our darling girl from informing us that they are actually sisters," they said. "The past month these two adorable girls have had the opportunity to reunite each week and get to know each other again!" The chance encounter has prompted a flood of delighted comments from viewers online, many of whom gushed over the unexpected reunion. Several have shared theories about how the pair might have developed such a close bond, or perhaps known they are related all along. "Aww I wonder if they recognized each other's scent," one viewer said, while another added: "I believe I read that at that age that will recognize each other as siblings and it will cement the memory more or less." A third viewer shared a similar experience: "I know how heartwarming this is! A couple years ago my chocolate boy cut his paw, not deep enough to warrant going directly to the vet but I popped in to ask a question about treating it at there a couple ladies came in with the chocolate [Labrador] and of course I was all over that, turns out it was my boy's sister so we have had steady play dates since they've been reunited." "This is the sweetest," another viewer said. "Happy families," another added. "They look so happy," a different viewer shared in agreement. "Oh my goodness, those are some cute pups," another commented, while another said: "A real life Parent Trap moment! So glad they were reunited." Newsweek reached out to u/mitpenco for more information via Reddit. A litter of black Labrador puppies lay on a blanket. A litter of black Labrador puppies lay on a blanket.

Woman Takes Senior Labrador for a Drive Every Day, Reason Melts Hearts
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 reason a woman takes her senior dog for a drive every day has melted hearts across the internet. Abby Ferullo (@styledaf), 22, from New England, shared that she takes her elderly dog, Lucy, a chocolate Labrador retriever, for a car ride every day "just so she has a good day." The post, which shows her sweet ritual with Lucy, has garnered more than 388,000 likes and over 1.1 million views on TikTok. "Do you wanna go for a car ride?" Ferullo asks in the video, as Lucy gazes up at her with soft eyes. Once the question is asked, the dog perks up and barks in excitement while Ferullo straps her into her harness for the journey ahead. The Labrador is then gently lifted into the passenger seat, where she sits contentedly, staring out the window with quiet joy. "And yes … she gets front seat," Ferullo captioned the video. Lucy is a senior chocolate Labrador—a breed known for its affectionate, intelligent, and eager-to-please nature. The American Kennel Club says Labradors are among the most popular dog breeds in the U.S., cherished for their friendly temperament and loyalty. As dogs age, they require extra care and attention. PetMD notes that senior dogs benefit from consistent routines, gentle exercise, and enriching activities to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. For many aging pets, car rides can be a soothing and enjoyable outing. Sidewalk Dog, a publication dedicated to canine-friendly living, describes car rides as "magic" for pups. The sights, smells, and time spent with their humans can be deeply fulfilling. For senior dogs especially, short drives can offer stimulation without overexertion, helping to maintain cognitive health and lift their spirits.

"She also looks like she deserves a pup cup," commented M. "I would die for her," said Molly Rose. "The excited chatters," one user simply noted, referencing Lucy's happy vocalizations before the ride. "My senior dog 15 I take him on a 'walk' everyday to the mailbox just so he gets excited for his leash to be put on," said Taylor. Newsweek reached out to @styledaf for comment via TikTok.
