Video: Owner Shares ‘Favorite Moments' Since Adopting Senior Golden Retriever
That senior dog was Bruce. What followed was a life-changing decision. Nine months later, she's celebrating that choice with a heartfelt video of their favorite shared moments since the adoption.
Bruce has now spent nine full months in the care of his loving new owner. To mark the milestone, his mom shared a touching video on Instagram, showing nine of her favorite moments since the adoption of the senior Golden Retriever.
From small victories to life-changing breakthroughs, each clip in the video tells a part of Bruce's journey from being an uncertain shelter dog to becoming a beloved family member. The first moment shows the senior dog playing with his plush toy, an early sign that he was starting to feel safe enough to engage with his new surroundings.
The next clip documents a big health win when Bruce tested negative for heartworms. Another highlight was the first time the senior Golden Retriever rolled onto his back after adoption. This was a small act that signaled growing trust and comfort. His owner also celebrated the first time he managed to walk up and down stairs. While this task may seem ordinary, it marked major progress for the senior pup.
The video also includes sweet milestones like Bruce's first Christmas, the first time he ran freely, and discovering his love for pup cups. One of the most emotional moments featured is when the senior Golden Retriever finally overcame his fear of walking around the neighborhood. Finally, perhaps her most cherished memory was watching him fall in love with both his moms.
In the caption, his owner writes about the day she first saw his photo online. The pet parent couldn't stop thinking about him. She visited the Humane Fort Wayne shelter during her lunch break and walked out with him just hours later.
Since then, she says, Bruce has taught her about love, patience, bravery, and healing. She hopes that his memories of a tough past have been replaced with ones full of joy, safety, and family.

Lamine Yamal Investigated Over Party Performers With Dwarfism
It's safe to say that Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old Spanish soccer star, is living a life far different than your average teen. For context, Lamine is currently regarded as one of the best soccer players in the world and plays for Barcelona, one of the sport's top clubs. Talented teenagers aren't unusual in professional soccer; however, Lamine has broken numerous records, like being the youngest ever player to feature at a UEFA European Championship, and the youngest ever goalscorer in a European Championship, both when he was just 16 years old. Lamine is reported to be worth around $8 million, and so, it'll come as no surprise to hear that he went all out for his 18th birthday party last Sunday. However, the Barcelona star is set to be the subject of a government investigation following reports that he hired people with dwarfism to attend the party as entertainers. According to the BBC, the birthday party took place at a rented property in a small town just north-west of Barcelona, with a ton of influencers, YouTubers, and several of Lamine's Barcelona teammates in attendance. It's been reported that guests were banned from filming on their phones at the event; however, numerous videos have since surfaced, including one, published by the Daily Mail, which appears to show a group of men with dwarfism arriving at the venue with luggage. Lamine shared some pictures from the event with his 36.3 million Instagram followers, showing him dressed in a white suit with plenty of diamond jewelry, and what appears to be a diamond-encrusted cane. The video footage has been making the rounds on social media, and now, Spain's Ministry for Social Rights has requested that the country's prosecutor's office launch an investigation into Lamine to determine if his party breached disability laws, which prohibit the mocking or denigrating of people with disabilities. BBC Sport reported that the Association of People with Achondroplasia and other Skeletal Dysplasias in Spain (ADEE) has filed a legal complaint against the soccer player and 'publicly denounces the hiring of people with dwarfism as part of the entertainment,' saying that it 'perpetuates stereotypes, fuels discrimination, and undermines the image and rights' of people with disabilities. Neither Lamine nor FC Barcelona has spoken out about the controversy. However, a Spanish radio station called RAC1 broadcast an interview with a person claiming to be one of the 'artists with dwarfism who was hired' to attend the party. The individual, who chose to remain anonymous, defended Lamine's alleged actions, saying: 'No one disrespected us… I don't understand why there's so much hype. We're normal people, who do what we want, in an absolutely legal way.' Well, this is certainly not a good look. We'll keep you posted with any updates.

Timothée Chalamet's Shirtless Pic Has a Kylie Jenner Easter Egg
Timothée Chalamet is currently filming Dune: Part Three, but took a moment to hop on Instagram and share a bunch of random photos of himself from over the years. Honestly there are a lot of gems... But we're here to talk about this photo of Timothée semi-shirtless on a yacht. Obviously there's a lot to stare at, but please note the blue pillows in the back of this photo. Because 10/10 percent convinced that these are the same pillows featured in the background of Kylie Jenner's photos from her birthday trip to the Bahamas in 2024. So yeah, this is just about as close as we've come to Timothée and Kylie going Instagram official. FYI, a source chatted to People about this trip after it went down, saying Kylie went to the Bahamas with a "small group of close friends" including Timmy for a "birthday bash." They added, "It was a nice break for her. She's incredibly happy with him. She's never been in love like this before. He's great for her. Her family loves him. He's so discreet and always has her back. He's very much a gentleman and everything that Kylie deserves. They are very serious." Anyway, look forward to seeing photos from their summer 2025 yacht trip in, IDK, 2027 I guess.

Mya Lesnar and 49ers star hard launch relationship with adorable photos
Mya Lesnar has made a name for herself beyond the fact that she happens to be the daughter of former WWE star Brock Lesnar -- she's a track and field star who just won a national indoor championship in the shot put for Colorado State and then in the outdoor events last month. Now? She's making headlines with her relationship, which has been hard-launched on Instagram: she's dating Drew Moss, a rookie guard for the San Francisco 49ers who went to Colorado State and who went undrafted in 2025 before signing with the Niners. Moss made it IG official with a photo of them at a wedding, with this caption: "Forever wedding date." Mya replied in the comments with, "My handsome man." This is so stinkin' cute. Check out the photos: Congrats to this couple for making it officially official! Hope we'll see more photos from them, or perhaps she'll cheer him on at a Niners game if he makes it through training camp.
