Man Tries To Relax on Lake Float—but He Has Two Golden Retrievers
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. With golden retrievers, relaxation can be an elusive thing. That didn't stop one man online from trying, though. His afternoon enjoying a peaceful float on a lake was hilariously interrupted by his two devoted goldens, whose unwavering loyalty—and perhaps a touch of "fear of missing out"—prompted an impromptu "rescue" mission. The adorable scene, captured in a viral TikTok video, has gone viral with over 2.7 million views. "'Spotted: Dad alone. On float. Without us. He looks like he needs us. Does he even have snacks? We must go rescue,'" the creator captioned the video, imagining the dogs' inner dialogue. "'Emotional support en route. Target acquired … Backup has arrived … no man left behind. No raft left afloat.'" One by one, the dogs plunged into the water, swimming toward their owner. The first golden retriever reached the inflatable and clambered aboard with a splash, followed shortly by its equally determined sibling. The result? A deflating inflatable and a man now submerged under the weight of two very loving, but heavy, golden retrievers. The creator's page says the goldens, named Whaler and Flapjack, adore swimming. "If there's water, we're in it," the profile reads. Internet viewers quickly fell in love with the dogs' earnest, if misguided, heroism in the video. TikTok users flooded the comments with laughter and relatable stories. "'Dad looks like he's resting peacefully! Must change that!'" one commenter added. "Lovely," another wrote. "How could anyone beat the love these guys have for their human?" Stock image: A tan-colored dog swims in a lake. Stock image: A tan-colored dog swims in a lake. Nataba/Getty Images Many viewers found humor in the dogs' single-minded focus on their owner—even at the expense of his relaxation: "Dad probably been out there since morning coffee trying to get some … peaceful sunlight," one person posted. The canines' approach to the "rescue" was also a source of amusement. "The funniest part was the first mud trail. Golden one has a visual on the target and has engaged. Golden two sweeping in for clean-up," a commenter said. Some viewers offered practical advice, suggesting ways to ensure the dogs' safety during their water adventures. "You should get them life jackets," one wrote. "I had one and it made my parents feel so much better and I got to swim for longer!" These golden retrievers, known for their friendly and loyal nature, seem to fully embody the spirit of "no man left behind"—even if it means sacrificing their human's peaceful float.

Video: Golden Retriever ‘Asks' for Permission to Swim but Doesn't Wait for It to Be Granted
Sometimes you never know what goes on inside a dog's mind. On the outside, they might look calm and composed, but deep down, they might be plotting their next big move. This is exactly what transpired between a Golden Retriever named Whaler and his owner. In a TikTok video, the canine asked his mom for permission to go swimming. However, he didn't keep waiting for her to grant it before running away to swim. The timing of the escape left netizens in splits. TikTok video shows Golden Retriever running away to swim before his owner could reach him Golden Retriever Whaler is an obedient boy, but he still plays by his own rules. His owner took to the TikTok account @ to share how the dog asked for her permission to go swimming but ultimately took it upon himself to make the decision. He waited for his mom to permit him, but even before she could agree, he ran straight towards the water. The video began with the owner documenting her and Whaler's interaction at what appears to be a lakeside. She stood on one side of the fence while Whaler looked intently at her from the other side that faced the water. The pet parent clarified that her Golden Retriever was staring at her in hopes of receiving permission to go swimming. However, the owner confessed that the dog would opt to dive into the water irrespective of what decision she makes. As Whaler kept his eyes focused on his mom, she took it as an opportunity to inform him that he wouldn't go swimming. She advised him to join her on this side of the fence and not sprint the other way around. But it looks like the Golden Retriever already had his eyes set on his ultimate goal, which is to jump into the clear water. Just as the owner rushed to bring him with her, the dog took a sharp turn and leapt towards the lake. No matter how much the owner expressed her disapproval, she failed to catch hold of Whaler, who ran faster than the speed of light. Meanwhile, netizens declared the Golden Retriever's victory. One user noted, 'They always wait til you get a little closer to take off running.' Another person hilariously commented from the dog's perspective, stating, 'Bye mom.'

Boston Whaler and Tombolo Unveil Part II of Ongoing Collaboration
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Boston Whaler ®, the iconic American boat manufacturer founded in 1958, and Tombolo ®, the resortwear brand known for its irreverent 'escapewear,' today announced Part II of their ongoing collaboration. This 18-piece capsule collection offers a refreshing and playful twist on styles familiar to the boating community, including fishing shirts, board shorts, UPF 50+ sun shirts, and foul weather gear. In many cases, the garments embrace nostalgic silhouettes and fabrics from the '50s, '60s and '70s when Boston Whaler was rapidly ascending to its now legendary status among boaters worldwide. 'This partnership is deeply personal for me,' said Chris Galasso, co-founder of Tombolo. 'When I was growing up, I learned to love the water from the faded Whaler blue deck of a 1974 Boston Whaler '13. It's a full circle moment to now have a hand in creating a collection that celebrates the joys of the water with the boat brand that started it all for me and so many others.' Part I of the collaboration featured a Boston Whaler 16' from the 1960s that Tombolo salvaged from a yard on Shelter Island, New York. The boat, named 'Cea Pea,' had seen better days after many years of neglect. Unassuming Cea Pea became the backdrop of the debut collection's photoshoot in all her dilapidated glory. Now, for Part II, Boston Whaler and Tombolo upped the ante. Alongside 18 new items, and the return of fan favorites from Part I, Cea Pea has been fully restored and reimagined. After a meticulous, loving restoration, the classic vessel has been transformed into a showpiece that bridges past and present. 'We're thrilled to unveil the Part II clothing capsule alongside the restored Cea Pea, looking as buoyant and beautiful as ever at over 50 years old,' said Mike Sard, Co-Founder of Tombolo. 'She steals the show as the centerpiece of this ongoing partnership. We hope Cea Pea's charisma also shows up in the clothes, which aim to bottle her magic.' The restoration included a much-needed re-powering by Mercury Marine ®, equipping her with a new 75hp Mercury outboard that delivers the boundary-pushing performance for which the 16-foot model remains famous. The restoration process involved an ecosystem of talented New York boatworkers, including Chuck's Fiberglass, Albertson's Marine, and Wm. J. Mills & Co. – America's oldest sailmaker. Wm. J. Mills Co. served as the creative bridge between the apparel collection and the boat itself, crafting Cea Pea's custom-branded bimini top and terry cloth cushions. Their handiwork extends to the collection's tote bags, tying the nautical heritage of the boat to the wearable garments. 'Collaborating with Tombolo has given us a fresh and creative way to celebrate Boston Whaler's storied legacy and boundary-pushing performance,' said Lenn Scholz, Boston Whaler President. 'This collection is more than apparel – it's an invitation to experience the spirit of Whaler in a new medium. We hope it inspires our passionate community of owners and fans, while also welcoming newcomers to the joy, freedom, and rich history that define life on a Whaler.' The collaboration collection is available on Tombolo's website at and in its New York City store (208 Mott Street, New York, NY, 10012). It is also available in Japan exclusively via Journal Standard by Baycrew's at their stores in Tokyo and Osaka listed below: JOURNAL STANDARD (Omotesando Store) Address: 1F and 2F BARCA Building, 5-25-4 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Phone number: 03-6418-7961 JOURNAL STANDARD (Lucua Store) Address: 3-1-3 Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Lucua 3F Phone number: 06-6347-0294 For more information about Boston Whaler and to view its complete lineup of boat models, visit About Boston Whaler For more than 60 years, Boston Whaler has been building superior quality unsinkable runabouts, cruisers, and center console boats.

'Her voice is our gift to world' - 10 best gigs in July in Scotland
Alhambra Theatre, Dunfermline, July 17 Lulu's career has always been a weird mismatch of hipster moments - the glory of her 1967 hit To Sir With Love, her time recording at Muscle Shoals, teaming up with Bowie - and long stretches of light entertainment-flavoured misfortune; the wavering accent, her Eurovision entry Boom Bang a-Bang and having to welcome the likes of Vince Hill and Roy Castle onto her 1970s TV show It's Lulu (though to be fair she also got to introduce Bill Withers, Roberta Flack and Aretha Franklin too). Her reputation is probably just one well-curated retrospective away from being positively reframed. (If in any doubt take a listen to Where's Eddie on her 1970 album New Routes; the best thing she's ever done?) You can decide between yourselves if her contribution to Take That's Relight My Fire makes the cut. Anyway, at 76, Lulu is currently in the midst of a long farewell tour that sees her turn up in Dunfermline this month. It's a chance to remind ourselves that her voice remains one of Glasgow's great gifts to the world. We should celebrate it more. Read more: Scotland's 10 best summer festivals that are not the Edinburgh Festival Sophie B Hawkins King Tut's, Glasgow, July 2 You couldn't want for a more intimate venue for the American singer-songwriter now celebrating the 30th anniversary of her second album Whaler (actually released in 1994). Hawkins carries the mistaken label of one-hit wonder for the success of her 1992 single Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover, but Whaler was home to Right Beside You which was also a top 20 hit in the UK. I suspect she'll play both on this visit to Glasgow. Alanis Morissette OVO Hydro, Glasgow, July 5 It's not always remarked upon, but while British pop (or to be more specific Britpop) was going all 'we're going to live forever,' in 1995, its North American equivalent was an angrier affair. Grunge hadn't disappeared and the Riot Grrrl movement was still a force, after all. And then Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette announced herself to the world in 1995 with the exhilaratingly ferocious You Oughta Know, the lead single from her multi-million-selling Jagged Little Pill album and one of the great, snarky revenge songs against straying boyfriends. ('And every time I scratch my nails/Down someone else's back, I hope you feel it.') Thankfully, Morissette's life has moved on a bit in the interim, but she comes to Glasgow fresh from Glastonbury with Liz Phair in support. A chance to relive some righteous 1990s feminist anger perhaps. Billie Eilish OVO Hydro, Glasgow, July 7 & July 8 And two days later in the same venue… Eilish is still only 23, but she already has a decade of music-making, three albums and a raft of awards (including a couple of Oscars and nine Grammys) behind her. For someone who has been described as the 'ultimate bedroom artist', concocting her music in the comfy familiarity of her own home, she has proved more than capable of translating the results for an arena audience (in 2022 she became the youngest ever headliner at Glastonbury). This is pop music a quarter of the way through the 21st century. Kendrick Lamar and SZA Hampden Park, Glasgow, July 8 You might say the same of the recordings of Kenrick Lamar, of course. The rapper is taking a break from his ongoing beef with Drake to team up with singer-songwriter SZA - fresh from their Super Bowl appearance together - for a world tour. If you want to get a sense of where black America is right now… Summer Classics: The Scottish Chamber Orchestra The Town House, Hamilton, July 17; Castle Douglas Town Hall, July 18; Ayr Town Hall, July 19 The SCO is on manoeuvres in the west of Scotland in July with performances in Hamilton, Castle Douglas and Ayr. The programme includes Haydn's Symphony No 80 in D Minor, Beethoven's Symphony No 4 in B-Flat and the world premiere of Rewired, a concerto for soprano saxophone and chamber orchestra composed by Jay Capperauld, recent cover star of this very magazine. Lewis Banks is the solo saxophonist for these evenings and the orchestra will be conducted by Jonathan Bloxham.

Steele, who cut his teeth playing with Hue & Cry back in the 1980s, has been one of Scottish jazz's most reliable pleasures; a trumpet player who has explored the music of Miles Davis and the songbooks of Joni Mitchell and Scotland's own Pearlfishers. This should be a good reminder of his musical adventurousness. C Duncan Tolbooth, Stirling, July 19 This special one-off show in Stirling celebrates the 10th anniversary of Architect ('classical meets dreampop,' according to the Guardian in 2015), the Mercury-nominated debut album of the classically trained Glaswegian multi-instrumentalist C Duncan. Any excuse to take in his hazy romanticism should always be seized. Public Image Ltd Kelvingrove Bandstand, Glasgow, July 29 Now, it would seem, permanently estranged from his fellow Sex Pistols (who replaced him with singer Frank Carter on their own recent trip to Glasgow), John Lydon is still touring the world with his other band PiL and still playing the role of the world's most willful contrarian. Lydon has had a rough couple of years, losing his wife Nora and his manager and best friend John 'Rambo Stevens'. But he remains committed to playing live, and onstage he remains the blustering, bolshy presence he's always been. Take that as a threat or a promise. He's right about one thing, though. PiL were always a better band than the Pistols. Teenage Fanclub Kelvingrove Bandstand, Glasgow, July 31 Two nights later (with Anastacia sandwiched in between), it's the turn of Bellshill's favourite sons to play the Bandstand. Teenage Fanclub remain what they have always been: a guitar band with an ear for a hook and an ability to make music that can make you feel happy and sad at the same time. They are soaringly melancholic, if you like. This seems as good a way as any to see out July.

Arnold rings in seventh consecutive district title
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WMBB) – The Arnold Marlins boys weightlifting team secured its seventh consecutive district title on Thursday. Three Bay County teams, Arnold, Bay, and Mosley competed in the event. In addition to claiming the title, the Marlins set another goal prior to the season, as senior Ian Whaler has aimed to break the Florida state snatch record by lifting 245 pounds. 'I'm trying to get the snatch state record,' Whaler said. 'I've dealt with injuries, so my numbers have stayed about the same. But I placed 11th at state last year.' Another Bay County athlete, Wyatt Fleming worked toward a milestone for Mosley High School. 'I'm working toward a 700-pound total, which would be one of the top marks in the state,' Fleming said. 'I didn't have a strong clean and jerk, so I think I'll end up around 680.' With the postseason underway, every detail became crucial to success. 'A lifter must perform at their best and hope for the best unless they finish first, which guarantees qualification,' Arnold head coach Josh Flaig said. After totals were calculated, the Arnold Marlins swept both Olympic and Traditional lifts to claim the district championship. The 2A Region 1 meet is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, at Suwanee High School. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
