Dog Rescued From Streets—Hearts Melt at How She Sleeps: 'Literally Cried'
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 rescue dog's peaceful sleep in her new home has captured the hearts of TikTok users around the world. TikToker @princesspixiewixie shared a touching video of their pup, Pixie, wagging her tail joyfully while fast asleep in different cozy spots—including atop a green bed and nestled in a sunny window nook. The footage quickly went viral, earning 44,100 likes and 205,300 views on the platform. "I literally cried making this. Pixie is the sweetest dog ever, and while I might not know what the first few years of her life were like, I know that the rest of her days will be filled with all the comfy naps and sweet tail-wagging dreams she deserves," she captioned the video. "She used to sleep on the streets but this is how she sleeps now," reads the heartfelt on-screen text. It's not uncommon for dogs to wag their tails while asleep, according to Bow Wow Meow Pet Insurance. Much like humans, dogs cycle through stages of sleep, including REM (Rapid Eye Movement), during which dreaming occurs. Tail wagging during sleep can indicate a positive dream or a replay of happy daytime memories—suggesting that Pixie is now living a life full of comfort and contentment. Helping a rescue dog adjust to a new home takes patience and care. As Dog's Trust outlines, new rescue dogs benefit from having a quiet, safe space to retreat to, a predictable daily routine, and lots of positive reinforcement. With love, time, and gentle guidance, they can overcome the uncertainty of their pasts and settle into their new lives—just as Pixie clearly has. TikTok users were quick to flood the comments with praise and emotion. "I love animals more than humans," said one user. "You did that—remember this always. You gave her this sweet life that transcends to her subconscious," said Anne. "Can't stop wagging her tail from happiness," shared another. A stock image showing a dog sleeping in a window.

Thank you," said Jules. "OMG she is so cute and you've created this awesome space for her," said another viewer. "This is the most heartwarming TikTok I have seen in a very long time. What a happy, lucky little dog! Bless you and your family, Pixie," said Andrea. "Oh my goodness that wagging tail, isn't she just gorgeous, you are a wonderful person," said Karen.

Major development after baby girl injured in fire extinguisher prank that sent shockwaves around Australia
Two teenage boys have been charged after they allegedly sprayed a fire extinguisher into a car carrying a five-month-old baby and her father in Queensland. Aussie dad Leon and his baby, Pixie, were stopped at a red light in Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast, when the teens allegedly rode up on an e-bike and sprayed the fire extinguisher through the car's back window at 7.50pm on June 15. On Saturday, police announced that two teens from Buderim had been arrested over the incident. A 15-year-old boy was charged with 13 offences, including two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. A 14-year-old boy was also charged with six offences, including two counts of wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm. Police will allege they had stolen the fire extinguisher from a nearby carpark on Courage Street earlier that night. Pixie was rushed to hospital where she had to have 100ml of saline solution put in her eyes to clean off the chemical powder. 'It was the most horrible scream I've ever heard in my life,' her mother, Tiffani Teasdale told 9News. 'I actually had to leave and one of the nurses had to come in and hold her down for me. She was covered in red rashes. Her eyes were pretty bloodshot. 'She was a little bit wheezy.' Pixie was discharged from hospital early on Monday with her mother urged to continue monitoring her symptoms. The fire extinguisher left a thick coat of chemical powder over the car's interior and destroyed Pixie's pram, toys and nappy bag. Footage shared to social media, which appeared to be shot from the balcony of a unit, showed two figures speeding along a Sunshine Coast street on Sunday night. One appeared to be facing forward steering the e-bike while the second was letting off a thick trail of gas behind them, which appears to be from a fire extinguisher. Ms Teasdale previously issued a furious message to the two alleged offenders. 'Just grow up,' she said. 'Take accountability for your actions. Hand yourself in. Stop terrorising the neighborhood.'

E-bike riders charged over Sunshine Coast fire extinguisher incident
Two teenagers have been charged over an incident that left a baby in hospital when a fire extinguisher was allegedly sprayed through a car window on the Sunshine Coast. Police have charged the boys from Buderim, aged 14 and 15, with a long list of offences, including wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm. The pair who were riding an e-bike are accused of letting off a fire extinguisher into the open back window of Tiffani Teasdale's car while she was stopped at traffic lights at Sippy Downs last weekend. Her five-month-old daughter, Pixie, was in the back seat and had to have her eyes cleaned by doctors with saline solution. The residue left a thick film blanketing the car's interior, destroying the baby's pram, toys and nappy bag. Police allege the fire extinguisher was stolen from a nearby car park earlier that night. Earlier this week, investigators released security footage of the duo and launched a public appeal to identify them. The boys will be dealt with under the Youth Justice Act and will not be required to appear in the Queensland Children's Court.
