Woman Discovers Mom Booked Dream Vacation—but There's a Catch
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 California mom has captured the hearts of TikTok users after her daughter revealed that she booked an entire vacation property just so her dogs could run, swim and play freely. The video, posted by Aria Harms (@ariaroseharms) on June 18, has since gone viral, amassing more than 156,000 views. The clip, captured earlier this month at an Airbnb venue in California's Joshua Tree area, features two Australian shepherds, Roscoe and Bentley, diving into a backyard pool while their owner watches from a chair poolside. Overlaid text on the video reads, "My mom booked a vacation for her dogs." Harms says in the video: "She rented this entire place because it's gated for her dogs to run around and fun and play in a new place." Harms told Newsweek that the venue's "main feature was the pool and gated backyard that had so much land for the dogs to just run around freely," she said.

PLAZA HOTEL PIONEER PARK The relationship showcased in the video is more than just a sweet family anecdote. Scientific research has shown that bonds between dogs and their owners can mirror the emotional attachments seen in human relationships. A 2019 study published in Scientific Reports found that "dogs can form relationships of comparable qualities with both humans and other dogs." Additionally, a 2013 study published in PLOS One likened the connection between dogs and their owners to the attachment seen between infants and their caregivers. It said that canines are not only dependent on human care but are also behaviorally wired to engage their owners' caregiving instincts. Those insights were clearly evident in the vacation setup. The dogs, splashing in the pool and roaming the wide, enclosed yard, appear to be experiencing a true retreat—tailored specifically for them. Roscoe and Bentley, aged 5 and 4 respectively, have been with Harms' mom since they were puppies. "She usually only travels if her dogs can come," Harms said. "She literally purchased an RV just to be able to drive them around. She always priorities them over family members. She cooks them meals for breakfast lunch and dinner and bases her whole life around them." A caption shared with the video says: "These dogs are treated better than kings honestly." 'Your Mom Is a Legend' The display of canine devotion resonated widely on TikTok, with users flooding the comments to praise the mom's dedication. One user, @mr_chris, said: "YOUR MOM IS A LEGEND." Another, @msmagyar, posted: "Your mom is my kind of people!" Others shared similar stories, with user @justhelen17 commenting: "I'm like your mom. I book cabins and Airbnbs just for my dogs." TikTok users embraced the idea that pets deserve luxury and freedom. User @Yadira added: "Mama knows they deserve a hot dog summer!!!" Another viewer, @mcarlit, posted: "I will proudly admit my mom has done this." Erin Robinson echoed the sentiment, noting: "i mean we do the same." For some viewers, the clip was aspirational. User @YoMomma456 wrote: "Saving this for when I'm ready to take my dogs on vacation not my kids!!" Valeria said: "I would too!! That's what I live for; to take my dogs on vacation."

Lewis Hamilton risks wrath of his beloved Roscoe after he is seen petting Chief Mouser Larry the Cat at meeting with PM
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SIR LEWIS HAMILTON has risked the wrath of his beloved dog Roscoe... after he was seen petting Larry the Cat. Formula One superstar Hamilton is well known to be a socially conscious person, and leads his Mission 44 project to support young people in their education.

During his visit, the seven-time F1 world champion took some time out from the meetings to introduce himself to Number 10's Chief Mouser, Larry. Larry has served in the role since 2011 after being adopted by then PM David Cameron. Born in 2007, the tabby is as old as Hamilton's F1 career when he started out with McLaren in the same year.

He captioned the post: "Thanks for the stroke. @LewisHamilton - love from the sleeping cat to the prancing horse x." It was a bit of a change of pace for Hamilton, who is usually seen alongside his French bulldog Roscoe. And one fan on social media was quick to point out: "If Roscoe ever sees this picture he will never forgive LH." BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK However, Roscoe's most recent Instagram post showed him being given a tasty treat, showing Hamilton knows the way to the heart of man's best friend. Hamilton has not had the best interaction with cats in the past, revealing last year how he had black cats "thrown" at him. Lewis Hamilton's beloved dog Roscoe diagnosed with pneumonia as carer gives health update He also landed himself in trouble with animal rights activists in 2016 when he was seen playing with a tiger and jaguar during a visit to Mexico City's Black Jaguar-White Tiger Foundation. But most fans were loving the crossover of two British icons, with one saying: "Two legends in the same photo." A second said: "Oh what an honour! (For Lewis)." A third added: "Prime Minister Larry deigns to share some of his aura with Lewis. I respect that." Another joked: "Ahh I guess Lewis's demands to Sir Keir Starmer proved futile and Lewis went over Keir's head to the real power in Number 10." The Ferrari star admitted last month that he worries about his 12-year-old pooch following a recent battle he had with pneumonia. Hamilton said: "This is a time where every time I get a text message from the lady who looks after him, my heart stops for a second. "Because I'm thinking, 'What's next?' But he's fine now, fortunately. He is doing well. 'I never felt like my voice was heard' - Lewis Hamilton on education reform Hamilton's appearance at Downing Street was for more than just saying hello to Larry the Cat, but in fact was down to his goal of pushing for education reform in the UK. On his visit, Hamilton said: "I struggled in school and never felt like my voice was heard, that's why I know first-hand that ensuring every student feels they belong in school is vital. "I'm grateful that, off the back of this meeting, the government has committed to working with Mission 44 to enact change focused on making the education system more inclusive. "I'm so proud of how far Mission 44 has come in such a short space of time and the opportunity we have to transform the lives of vulnerable students across the country." In a previous interview with the Sunday Times, Hamilton revealed: "When I was in my 20s, I had some really difficult phases. "I've struggled with mental health throughout my life. [I've had] depression. "From a very early age, when I was, like, 13. "I think it was the pressure of the racing and struggling at school. "The bullying. I had no one to talk to.' "He's 12 and a half years old, so he's an old boy and it's unusual for them to live that long." The duo have practically been inseparable for a decade, and even appear together on the front cover of a recent edition of Vogue. When quizzed on Roscoe's next appearance, Hamilton said: "I really want to take him to Silverstone, and particularly Monza, this year. "I plan to put him in a red cape and outfit. I was with him before Miami and he still wants to play. "He's still got that youthful spirit. But he does like to sleep a lot." Roscoe's trainer, Kirstin McMillan, nursed the vegan canine back to full fitness after he fell ill in April, as he was treated with medication and specialist acupuncture treatment. Meanwhile, Hamilton has been struggling to extract the best out of his Ferrari machinery, and - outside of a Sprint Race win - is yet to score a podium with the Scuderia after joining them over the winter. The Brit appeared close to tears during an interview with Sky Sports F1 after he finished P6 at the Spanish Grand Prix. He later showed his class by apologising for snapping at reporter Rachel Brooks. Hamilton will have a chance at redemption at the Canadian Grand Prix on June 15. 5
