Video: Golden Retriever Doesn't Know How to React Every Time a Sprinkler Pops Up
Dogs have an appetite for discovery that the world can't keep up with. Our furbabies stumble upon little wonders all day long, which instantly fill them with joy. All it takes is a walk around the neighborhood to find a new friend or plaything, because life is a never-ending adventure when you love to sniff around. In one such Instagram video, a Golden Retriever learns about a sprinkler. However, she doesn't know how to react every time one pops up. Your dog might have the most quirky reaction to something completely ordinary to you, and that's okay and nothing to worry about. For instance, this Golden Retriever was totally clueless after seeing the sprinkler pop up from the ground and even tried to interact with the same in a hilarious video. The Instagram Reel featured the furbaby named Gamja making unusual discoveries while on her daily walks around the neighborhood. Since canines are naturally curious beings, she gives in to her urge to explore. The compilation video showed the Golden Retriever getting bamboozled seeing the sprinkler pop up from the ground. In the first throwback clip, Gamja was only a little puppy when she came across the device during one of her morning adventures. She looked cautious, but that would change as she grew up. The post then showed her trying to sniff it before heckling the sprinkler with her paws and even barking at it to intimidate the inanimate object. In some snippets, it almost seemed like she was trying to interact with the water-spraying gadget. Finally comfortable around the sprinkler, the Golden Retriever was completely baffled when it went back in at the end of the video. The caption captured Gamja's reaction, 'so many Wows,' revealing that sprinklers have never failed to amuse her. In an additional comment, the dog owner explained that she used to be 'cautious about it when she was a puppy,' but has become 'more curious' now. Fellow Golden Retriever account, @daisythegoldiee, further shared their joy on how easy it is to amuse pups.

PetLibro's new smart camera uses AI to describe your pet's movements, and it's adorable
PetLibro, the pet tech startup known for its automatic feeders and filtered water fountains, has just launched its latest product, the AI-powered Scout Smart Camera, designed to provide pet owners with real-time insights into their furbabies' activities and behaviors. Scout is similar to other pet cameras on the market; it monitors your pet in real-time and features two-way audio, allowing you to communicate with them if they're getting into mischief. The companion mobile app allows users to control the camera's movements, although the camera is also designed to detect and automatically follow their pet as they move past it. It can also make a chirping noise to grab their attention if you can't find them. What sets this device apart, however, is its AI capabilities. Scout uses pet recognition technology to track various activities, such as when your pet eats (which is helpful if they chew on things they shouldn't), drinks water, uses the litter box, or simply walks across the screen. It also captures surprise selfies of your pet when they are detected and provides daily highlights, storing clips in the cloud with up to a 30-day history. Additionally, Scout can recognize multiple pets, allowing it to track their activities separately. Users can currently set individual profiles for two pets in the app. 'Early on, our models struggled to tell similar-looking pets apart, which we knew was needed in many multi-pet pet households. Traditional facial recognition failed when pets moved quickly or shared features. This led us to develop a dynamic, first-of-its-kind (for an AI pet cam), feedback-driven system that improves through real-world use over time,' York Wu, founder and CEO, told TechCrunch. Image Credits:PetLibro A standout feature I appreciated as a pet owner is that the device doesn't just notify you of your pet's activities; it also provides cute descriptions. One of my favorites during testing was, 'Zelda is calmly strolling across the shiny floor, her nose pointed forward as she explores her surroundings with gentle curiosity.' How adorable is that?

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW Another way PetLibro's Scout camera stands out is its ability to share devices with up to five other family members and friends. If you're interested in trying the device, it's priced at $100. There are multiple subscription plans available; however, to access the AI features, you can opt for either the standard tier, which costs $12 per month, or the premium tier, priced at $17 per month. Another pet camera company, Furbo, offers a similar device that includes an AI 'Nanny' assistant for $7 per month. The camera itself is priced at $210. While PetLibro's Scout camera is priced lower than Furbo's, it currently lacks a key feature found in Furbo's offering: the ability to detect and alert owners to barking sounds. PetLibro is actively working on adding this, along with meowing detection, which may broaden its appeal, as Furbo is primarily marketed to dog owners. Additionally, the Scout device doesn't have a food dispenser, but PetLibro plans to integrate AI capabilities with select feeders and fountains, aiming to differentiate its growing product line from competitors. It should be noted that the company's privacy policy indicates that its system collects image and video data captured by the camera for use in improving the device, including its AI features. Other smart cameras, such as Google Nest and Amazon Ring, also state in their privacy policies that they collect user data to improve their services. According to PetLibro, the data is handled in accordance with cybersecurity standards. The device doesn't use audio for AI data collection.

Pit Bull's Look of 'Betrayal' After Feeling Pregnant Mom's Baby Kick Is Priceless
Pit Bull's Look of 'Betrayal' After Feeling Pregnant Mom's Baby Kick Is Priceless originally appeared on Parade Pets. Our fur babies can sense when change is in the air. Whether it's moving to a new home, a different schedule, or an impending vacation, dogs know when things are going to be different. Koa the Pit Bull got a clear-cut sign that a baby is on the way and was clearly troubled by the news. In the TikTok from @jazminedumoulin, Koa was resting on his mom's pregnant stomach when he obviously felt something stirring in her belly. The precious Pittie's zen mood was broken as his mom laughed, "Did you hear her?" referring to her soon-to-arrive baby girl. Koa slowly moved his head to give his mom a very pointed look. He had an expression of disbelief mixed with what his mom called 'betrayal'. "When your dog feels your baby's kick for the first time and ends up looking betrayed," the onscreen text explained. Apparently, Koa was so bothered by the belly activity he decided to keep his distance. "Update... he hasn't laid on my stomach since," the caption Koa doesn't fully understand the whole process of pregnancy, but he knew something was up. The pup's look of questioning and concern spoke volumes — and was completely adorable. Though dogs can't conceive (pardon the pun) what it means for their human mom to be pregnant, they most likely know there's a change through their sense of smell. A pregnant woman's hormones can affect their scent, which is picked up by your canine. Pregnancy affects mood as well, which is noticeable to our dogs. So although they can't pinpoint exactly what is different, canines perceive something unfamiliar. Some pups get protective when their mom is pregnant, where their natural instinct to guard kicks in. They can become hyper-vigilant and almost watch over their loved one, sensing a more vulnerable state. Dogs may also stay close by their expecting mom at home in the hopes of making sure she's safe. Koa has some time to prepare for his family's new arrival. The Pit Bull looks like a big sweetie and will make a great big brother. 🐶🐾🐾 Pit Bull's Look of 'Betrayal' After Feeling Pregnant Mom's Baby Kick Is Priceless first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 25, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 25, 2025, where it first appeared.
