Dog Has Priceless Reaction When Told To Leave Grandparents House: 'Spoiled'
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 moment a dog realized his getaway at his grandparents' house ended went viral on TikTok, leaving viewers in stitches. Like children, dogs view their grandparents' house as a place to escape the rules. They receive endless treats, cuddles and couch time. Often, when the getaway ends, parents are met with resistance and barks, begging them to stay a bit longer. Owner Abby Treece, however, received the silent treatment. In her July 7 TikTok video, posted to her account @ybbatreece, she arrived at her in-laws' house to pick up her dog, Teddy. The home sits on a California beach, a special treat for the dog who is obsessed with water. Treece started calling for Teddy as she walked onto the deck. Unsurprisingly, she found him right at the water's edge. Instead of being excited to see his owner, Teddy only stared at Treece as if she had interrupted his playtime. The muscles around his eyes darted inward, and a frown overtook his face. Anger radiated from his body. He wouldn't budge. He had no plans on leaving anytime soon. The caption reads: "Spoiled boy doesn't want to leave the water." Screenshots from a July 7 TikTok video of a dog upset that his owner returned to pick him up from his grandparents' house.

"...He's a big boy, so he gets the house pretty messy when he gets in and rolls around in sand after," she said. Begging and pleading with Teddy never works. So instead, they pretend they're going home without him. "We just eventually tell him, 'OK, bye Teddy, we're leaving!' Then he sprints in," she said. 'Fun Stealer' Within a week of posting, the TikTok video reached more than 1.2 million views and 438,100 likes. People flooded the comment section with what Teddy was likely thinking. One person said: "I'm not going home with you. This is paradise." A second user wrote: "Teddy, 'Oh great! The fun stealer is here to take me back to be miserable.'" "He is NOT happy to see you!" commented a viewer, while another added: "That's a grown man, enjoying his vacation." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Panicked Woman Looks 'All Over' for Chihuahua—Can't Believe Where She Hides
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. Emily Fowler believed her worst nightmare was coming true when she couldn't spot her dog outside, but after about 10 minutes, she began laughing at what she saw. Fowler has been watching a friend's Chihuahua, Penny, for the last few months and indefinitely while they move. One day, Penny was enjoying the summer sunshine, or so Fowler thought. Panic rushed through her body when she couldn't see the tiny dog outside. She shared in a June 16 video, posted to her TikTok account @emilyfowler.21, that she ran around the house and yard looking "all over" for Penny She told Newsweek via TikTok that she searched for about 10 to 15 minutes before she finally saw eyes peeking through the bushes. Penny nuzzled herself under the plants and against the fence. She managed to camouflage herself in the garden without responding to any calls from Fowler. The dog remained unfazed during Fowler's minor freak-out. The hiding spot seemed like an excellent spot for avoiding the sun and potential predators, but Fowler didn't feel quite the same. It sent her spiraling. And even though it only took her a few minutes to find Penny, Fowler said it felt "a lot longer" due to her panic. "I haven't seen her lie in the bushes like that before!" she said. "Sometimes she will go to the bathroom in the plants, but I've never seen her hang out there before." Thankfully, as the TikTok video capture revealed, Fowler can see the humor in this situation. It reads: "Hated every minute of this, but I'm glad I can laugh about it now." Screenshots from a June 16 TikTok video of Emily Fowler panicking after not seeing her dog outside but the Chihuahua was hiding in the bushes.

A third added: "This is why my cat wears an AirTag so I can make it beep when I'm panicking." Similarly, a fourth user posted: "My mom called me at work saying Duke ran away. I drove home sobbing.

Golden Retriever Greets Visitor—What Cam Captures Next Leaves Owner Stunned
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 man greeted by his uncle's dog couldn't believe what the Ring camera captured just moments after he arrived. Jacob Aguilar told Newsweek via TikTok that he was visiting his uncle after coming back from Hawaii to catch up and share stories from his trip. When he arrived, his uncle's golden retriever, Cubs, was the first one to greet him at the door. In his June 6 video posted to his TikTok account, @_jacoboooo, the dog walked out the door and sniffed Aguilar with excitement; she loved having visitors. When Cubs went into the driveway to check for others, Aguilar handed his uncle an item and the two started making their way inside. Aguilar quickly glanced back and thought the dog snuck back inside, prompting him to close the door behind him. However, the Ring camera revealed she didn't go back inside. The Ring camera showed Cubs flabbergasted that they would close the door in her face. She paused and stared at the door before running up to do a sniff test, which confirmed her disbelief. Cubs looked back to see if someone else might've been outside, but when no one turned up, she ran back to the front door. "We hadn't realized until my aunt pointed out, 'Where is Cubs!?'" Aguilar said. "She then checked the Ring camera and noticed she was waiting outside the front door." Cubs never barked to alert the family she was outside. Instead, she waited patiently because she knew they'd realize soon enough. Aguilar called her a "good and well-behaved doggie." "Both me and my uncle were in shock because we both thought she went back inside!" he said. Feeling horrible about the mistake, Aguilar said he "...made it up to her with lots of pets and love." Screenshot from a June 6 TikTok video of a golden retriever greeting a guest and being stunned when they accidentally closed the door on her.

A third user wrote: "That'll be her last time greeting you like that." And a fourth pointed out: "You even looked back!!!" which Aguilar replied: "I peeked and thought she went in on the other side."

Tears at What Dog 'With Anxiety' Does To Cope On Busy Train Ride
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 dog wearing headphones while traveling on a train has proven relatable to many internet users. A video shared to TikTok account @yomynameisamy by user Amy has gone viral, racking up more than 123,000 likes and 675,000 views in just a few days since being posted on April 21. In the clip, taken on board a train at Penn Station, New York City, a dog sits hunched over on a seat between what appears to be the owner and a backpack. And on her head is a pair of large pink headphones. Amy wrote over the video: "This dog on the train has anxiety so she's wearing noise-canceling headphones." She added: "She is me. I am her." Noise-canceling headphones are sometimes worn by people in public to deflect loud noises or to help focus, and may ease anxiety. National Autism Resources notes that many people on the autism spectrum are sound sensitive, and suggests that headphones that muffle sound could be beneficial. Dogs' hearing is about four times stronger than humans', so ear muffs are sometimes used to protect their ears in loud environments which can cause stress or hearing damage, according to the American Kennel Club. Amy wrote in the caption to her video: "Have u ever seen such a beautiful sight?" TikTok users flocked to the comments in their droves, as one agreed: "We're all just girlies literally," and another said: "Deep inside she's a little bit of all of us." One emotional person wrote: "Not kidding I would take all her anxiety I'm gonna sob now," while yet another declared: "I would die for her." Another said they love people "that take extra care of their pets," while one described the dog as a "sweet princess" and another as simply a "good girl." The passenger noticed the dog wearing headphones and instantly took a video to share it with others.

TikTok @yomynameisamy Like humans, dogs can suffer from anxiety, with some of the most common causes being fear, separation, and aging. It can affect every dog differently, causing anything from destructive behavior to pacing, restlessness, depression, or even aggression. Fear-related anxiety can be caused by loud noises, strange people or animals, or new environments, according to the American Kennel Club. Veterinarians can help an owner find the best way to overcome this anxiety, with one training strategy being desensitization: slowly introducing the dog to the source of anxiety in small doses, rewarding positive behavior.
