Why Grieving Her Soul Dog Helped Woman Find Service Dog: 'Butterfly Effect'
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 woman has gone viral after explaining how grieving the loss of her soul dog helped her find her service dog, all thanks to the butterfly effect. In July 2023, after 13 beautiful years together, Jayden Boyle sadly lost her chocolate Labrador named Jackson. He was her soul dog who had been by her side through so much, and by her own admission, she "didn't cope well" with the grief. Boyle, 22, of Toronto, Canada, told Newsweek that it was "like losing a sibling" and she cried constantly. Everything felt like a reminder of her four-legged best friend, yet she couldn't bring herself to move any of his toys or his bowls. "His toys would make me cry, but they reminded me that he was real, and I wasn't crying for no reason. I was mourning the loss of my family member," Boyle said.

When cleaning, she'd lift them up and place them back exactly in their spot. At the time, the thought of getting another dog seemed impossible. Seeing other dogs left her in tears and she vowed to never get another dog after losing Jackson. "Jackson was a regular pet, but I believe he picked up on a lot of my problems. When trying to sleep, he would lay down on my legs to help me relax, and if I was sick, he would curl up in the bathroom with me. He might've been a pet, but he saved my life multiple times," Boyle said. Around six months later, Boyle's sister sent her a photo of a Labrador named Sadie who needed a home. There was no denying how sweet she looked, but Boyle wasn't ready to open her heart again. She told her sister she didn't need another dog—but then came countless signs that suggested otherwise. Boyle met several other dogs called Sadie, despite never meeting one before. Then, she saw a sunset every night of the week, which she's always believed was Jackson's "way of saying hi." Not to mention, when people told her about Sadie, her personality sounded so similar to Jackson. She couldn't deny the signs, and in January 2024, she decided to give Sadie the home she deserved. "With the grief, she's helped me process so much change. I know she will pass one day, but it gives me a lot of comfort to know that Jackson and Sadie will send me another dog when I'm ready. She will let me talk about Jackson and the positive memories of him. Her eyes are so expressive and she's really the best listener," Boyle told Newsweek. Sadie began using Jackson's old bowls, but Boyle didn't feel angry or resentful, instead, she felt calm and content. The bowls reminded her of the joy of having a dog, not the grief of losing them. Boyle thinks this was part of "the butterfly effect," which is the theory that a small change in one condition can create a big difference in the eventual outcome. In her view, the fact that she kept Jackson's bowls is significant because there "must have been a reason" for doing that. Jackson the chocolate Labrador, and service dog Sadie the Labrador.

Boyle has documented her life with Sadie on Instagram (@thevelcrolab), with a post discussing the impact of the butterfly effect generating over 2.2 million views and 68,300 likes on Instagram at the time of writing. She's been blown away by the response, as she never imagined the post would go viral. The reaction has been overwhelmingly supportive, and Boyle has connected with other owners who could relate to losing a soul dog. "I've never felt like so many people could relate to me at once," Boyle continued. "I've spoken to people from every step of the process, from those who just had to put down their beloved pet, to people who got their next animal. Everyone has just reminded me that human beings care, we all just want to connect." The viral Instagram video has gained over 100 comments, as one person responded: "Not moving bowls was the best decision of my life." Another Instagram user wrote: "This story brought tears to my eyes. I believe so deeply that Jackson sent you this angel." While another comment reads: "this is the most magical story ever and I love it." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. From a dog that hilariously acts like a "drunk girl at 2 a.m." whenever he is near a bar to an animal so rare that it was dubbed a "ghost," we've enjoyed varied pet stories this week. But, alongside animal news and viral videos, we love sharing our readers' pets in our Newsweek Pet of the Week. If you want your pet to be featured next week, be sure to follow the instructions at the end of this story to get involved. Winner Pictures of the Labrador puppies having their first wagon ride. Pictures of the Labrador puppies having their first wagon ride. Larry Warvill This week's winners are an adorable group—a litter of 7-week-old Labrador retriever puppies caught on camera having their first-ever wagon ride. "We have been registered Labrador breeders for over 35 years," Larry Warvill, from Ontario, Canada, told Newsweek. "We show and train dogs." Just a week before the puppies head off to their new homes, they were given a special treat—their first wagon ride. In a heartwarming video, all of the puppies sit in the wagon together. "This was their first wagon ride," said Warvill. "They all enjoyed the ride." Finalists Rescue dog Cocoa posing for the camera. Rescue dog Cocoa posing for the camera. Donald Licciardo Our first finalist this week is Cocoa, a sweet and spirited rescue dog who now lives with owner Donald Licciardo after being abandoned. "She is a rescue dog someone abandoned, and I took her in," Licciardo told Newsweek. Despite uncertain beginnings, Cocoa has blossomed in her forever home and is a fantastic part of the family. "She is very timid yet bold," Licciardo said. "Very well behaved and I'm lucky she found me." Diesel the cat relaxing in his favorite sunshine spot.

Since joining the family, Diesel settled in quickly, and loves to balance rest and play in a way only a cat can, finding favorite spots to nap and for playtime activities. "He has adapted himself to this spot in our bedroom where the sun shines throughout the morning," Streeter told Newsweek. But when he isn't relaxing, Diesel is firmly in playtime mode: "He does have a climber and toys for exercise as well," the owner said.

Pam Blower Last but not least this week is Woozoo, a delightful cockatiel who lives with owner Pam Blower. Adopted three years ago, Woozoo has become a beloved and spoiled member of the household, charming everyone with her quirky routines. The bird's most-endearing habit takes place at breakfast time: "She is so spoiled and flies over to the toaster oven and waits patiently for her toast every day," Blowers told Newsweek.

Labrador's Look of Ultimate Defeat When Human Forces Him To Take a Bath Is Priceless
Labrador's Look of Ultimate Defeat When Human Forces Him To Take a Bath Is Priceless originally appeared on PetHelpful. Dogs seem to universally dread having to take a bath as much as they enjoy eating tasty snacks. While there are all kinds of reasons for this, what is consistent from dog to dog, regardless of age, size, or breed, is how funny their reactions can be to bath time. And as this video shows, Leo the Labrador is no exception. You might see the look of utter defeat on his face as his human hoses him down in the bathtub and wonder if someone told this poor guy that he has just been sent to the firing squad. Poor Leo! We are not sure how this guy can handle the humanity of this situation. Hopefully, he will make a full recovery. But who knows, bath time is a seriously traumatic ordeal to endure for many of our canine companions, like living or fighting through a war zone. Hopefully, Leo will recover. But don't mistake Leo's defeated demeanor in the bathtub for him not liking water. On the contrary, as the start of this clip shows, Leo loves playing in the water!Just looking at what a happy boy he is when he gets to hang out in his own little pool next to his cow friends. Yes, in that clip, Leo the Labrador is just as happy as a clam! The problem for Leo, as this video notes, is when his human forces him to take a bath. As you see from the second part of this clip, Leo is in shambles, sitting in the bathtub, getting hosed down, wondering what he did to deserve such a cruel fate. They say that every dog has his day, and this is clearly not Leo's day! Even water-loving breeds that seem perfectly content to swim and splash around all day are typically none too fond of bath time. But why? There are a few reasons for this. It could be that a dog had a previous bad experience during bath time, which makes them feel that baths are not safe. Maybe they got shampoo in their eyes, water went up their nose, or they slipped and fell in the tub? All of these can be traumatizing experiences for dogs. Also, keep in mind that since dogs are usually forced to take a bath, the experience makes them feel a loss of control that stresses them out. And over the course of cleaning and scrubbing them, it's possible that their humans move or touch their bodies in ways that dogs do not enjoy. Looking for more PetHelpful updates?
