This Golden Retriever & Toddler's Reunion Video Is One for the Books
The bond between dogs and kids is priceless. To reiterate the point, an Instagram video shows a Golden Retriever, Skylar, who cannot hold her excitement when she reunites with her toddler best friend. The reunion also brings joy to the kid, Shalom, as he cannot contain his excited shrieking voice. Explaining the familiar emotion in the caption, the owner wrote, 'Nothing beats coming home to your best friend.' In an adorable Instagram video, the reunion between a Golden Retriever named Skyler and a toddler named Shalom is one for the books. Anyone can witness the excitement and longing in their behavior and voices. Shalom expresses his emotions through giving toys and speaking to the dog in a shrieking voice. Skyler, on the other hand, cannot stop her wagging tail while patiently accompanying her best friend. The toddler's reunion with the Golden Retriever in the video begins with the two greeting each other through a glass door. While Skyler stands on her two feet and tries to open the door, Shalom attempts to push the door as he happily jumps with a big smile on his face. Once the 'besties' are inside, the canine becomes calm and stays close to the toddler. Further, Shalom continues to squeal and brings a ball for his best friend. As Skyler plays with the ball, the kid asks his parents for a dog bone. Then, Shalom finds something in Skyler's toy box and gives it to the fur baby. Once the latter accepts it, the toddler seems satisfied and calls the pooch 'Good Girl' multiple times. Viewers had a great time watching the Golden Retriever and toddler's reunion video. A user commented, 'I can't, both of them are so excited to see each other!' while another wrote, 'So much happiness.' One individual stated, 'Beyond adorable when Shalom compliments her for being a good girlie!' Netizens found the clip 'sweet' and referred to it as the 'happiest reunion' and 'overdose of Cuteness and love.' Since the upload, the Instagram reel has received over 18K likes.

In fact, there is evidence that children who grow up with dogs or cats actually have stronger happiness, quality of life, and overall wellbeing than those who don't. A 2023 study by Hawkins et al. found that children with strong, positive bonds to their dogs reported higher wellbeing, happiness, quality of life, greater social satisfaction, and lower loneliness. While a 2019 paper concluded that pet ownership, particularly of dogs and cats, is associated with greater self-esteem, less loneliness, and enhanced social skills in children and adolescents. The video of the moment between Skylar and Shalom delighted the internet, prompting plenty of comments from Instagram users. "I can't. Both of them are so excited to see each other!" wrote @daisythegoldiee. While viewer @sundaythegoldenretriever said: "So much happiness." Erlich shares plenty of content on her social media featuring Skylar the dog and her son, from sharing treats to napping together and heading out on adventures. "My audience loves watching the bond between Skylar and Shalom," Erlich said. "I knew they would love seeing this sweet moment. The reaction has been great—we've gotten so much positive feedback."

Three dead in Uppsala shooting, Swedish police launch investigation
ADVERTISEMENT Swedish police say three people were confirmed dead after a shooting attack took place on Tuesday in Uppsala, a city near the capital Stockholm, and are investigating the incident as a murder. Swedish media reported that a manhunt to locate the perpetrator is ongoing. Eyewitnesses say the gunman reportedly fled the scene of the attack on an electric scooter. Police said in a statement that they had received calls from members of the public who reported hearing loud bangs reminiscent of gunfire in central Uppsala, a university city located north of Stockholm, the capital. Photos of the scene showed police outside a barber shop called 'Shalom'. A large area was cordoned off by police as they launched an investigation. Local resident Nina said she felt "uncomfortable" because the attack happened in a residential neighbourhood right next door to where she lives, in an area where children frequently play. "I find it uncomfortable, because I mean especially when, you know, we drive past this one. I picked up my partner just before we drove past here. We live next door and I think there are children and young people in these areas. I find it very uncomfortable,' said Nina. There was no immediate indication of motive, and the police statement did not provide details about a suspected perpetrator. Sweden has grappled with gang violence for years, which has resulted in frequent shootings and bombing attacks.
