Hearts Break As Dog Starts 'Crying' on Way Back To Shelter After Day Out

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 who took a shelter dog out for a night, as part of a program to give these animals a break from the chaotic environment, was heartbroken when she looked at the canine's reaction to returning. Many animal shelters allow volunteers to take dogs out on field trips, such as a walk around the park, hanging out at a local cafe or even enjoying a sleepover in the person's home. Dogs who go on field trips are five times more likely to get adopted, an article from Adopt a Pet reported. These field trip programs not only give these canines a break from the shelter environment, but they also give them greater exposure to potential adopters. Volunteers report back on the dog's behavior and snap extra pictures to make their profile stand out. Plus, it gives people a doggy fix if they do not have the time or means to adopt one of their own. Janna, who is known as @jannahynds14 on TikTok, volunteered with the Arizona Humane Society Papago Park Campus and recently brought out a canine named Coco for a doggy sleepover. This 11-year-old German shepherd and Shar-pei mix has been in and out of the shelter since 2023, according to a Facebook post from the Arizona Humane Society. She took her for a fun-filled day, featuring pup cups, running around outside and catching up on some much-needed sleep. Coco finally could relax. But the field trip only lasted one night.

It looked to her that Coco was crying, which, in return, shattered Janna's heart. Newsweek reached out to @jannahynds14 via TikTok for additional comment. Janna posted a video of Coco appearing to cry in a July 12 TikTok video, which amassed over 78,100 views and 14,000 likes, pleading for someone to adopt Coco. "He looks like he's been through a lot. Boosting for this little guy," wrote a viewer. Another added: "You deserve a loving home, sweet baby." A third user said: "Thank you for doing a day date!! They go back to the shelter decompressed and happy. Hopefully, someone will come meet her and give her a forever home. You did a great thing!" While some thought Coco looked "defeated," Janna responded and believes she was just tired from their adventure-filled day.

Post-Wimbeldon, A New Generation of Tennis Stars Are Driving the Sport's TV Demand

While familiar legends have long dominated tennis fandom, recent demand data suggests the sport's fan base is increasingly rallying behind younger stars Following this year's Wimbledon Championships, a shift is becoming clear not only on the court, but in the hearts of global audiences. While legends like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have long dominated the tennis world, recent demand data for these players suggests that the sport's fan base is increasingly rallying behind a new generation. The final round of the Men's Singles tournament saw Carlos Alcaraz facing off against Jannik Sinner in a rematch of the French Open earlier this year, which Alcaraz won. Alcaraz was the defending Wimbledon champ, having bested Djokovic the past two years, so it was something of an upset when Sinner emerged victorious. The budding rivalry between these two players can serve as a compelling narrative that will draw attention to events like Wimbledon and the sport of tennis in general. More from TheWrap Post-Wimbeldon, A New Generation of Tennis Stars Are Driving the Sport's TV Demand 'Love Island USA' Season 7 Ends as Peacock's Most-Watched Original Ever With 18.4 Billion Minutes 'Live With Kelly and Mark' Sees Ratings Growth for 2nd Week in a Row With 2.1 Million Viewers | Exclusive As Skydance-Paramount Merger Closes, the 'South Park' Trump Takedown Shows the Fight Is On | Analysis While established tennis champs have historically captured the lion's share of attention from global tennis fans, the global demand for Alcaraz and Sinner has surged since their recent high-profile matchups. As of July 14, Sinner was the most in-demand athlete in the world, with Alcaraz a close second. This isn't to say Djokovic, Nadal or Federer have faded into irrelevance. All three continue to spark meaningful demand spikes around key moments. For example, Djokovic during the Australian Open and Federer during anniversary tributes and sponsorship appearances. However, the overall trend points toward a generational handoff. Today's fans are turning their attention to the athletes shaping the next era. This changing of the guard also appears to be shifting national interest in the sport. Parrot Analytics' Sports Demand shows that in Serbia, Djokovic's home country, tennis accounts for a sizable 21% of all demand for sports competitions. A national sports hero like Djokovic has the ability to drive interest in a sport like tennis in his home country. The share of demand for tennis in Italy so far this year (19.7%) is not far behind Serbia. As national pride fuels fan engagement, it is likely we're seeing the Sinner effect in real time, illustrating how the success of a local star can drive broader interest and growth for a sport in their home market. In Spain, France and Australia, traditional tennis strongholds, tennis still commands a healthy share of overall sports interest. In the U.S., tennis captures 8.6% of the country's sports demand, which is just above the global average of 8.1%. It serves as a reminder that even in a crowded sports ecosystem, elite talent and iconic tournaments like Wimbledon still break through. For marketers, rights holders and broadcasters, these audience signals matter. They suggest that while nostalgia for tennis legends remains potent, the business of tennis must increasingly be forward-looking. Rising stars like Alcaraz and Sinner aren't just winning matches, they are winning over fans, sponsors and entire countries. To fully capitalize on this momentum, platforms and advertisers may want to double down on storytelling around this generational shift. If demand is any indicator, the future of tennis is already here and audiences are tuning in.

‘Love Island USA' cast joins Miami Dolphins training camp

Last summer, former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. 's younger brother Kordell won Season 6 of 'Love Island USA', earning $100,000 with his girlfriend Serena Page. This summer, the saga between the viral Peacock series and the Miami football franchise continues. At Friday's training camp practice, four cast members from this summer's season were in attendance. '[We're] swimming with Dolphins today,' Season 7 cast member Zac Woodworth said on his Instagram account, sharing a video of all four contestants driving to Hard Rock Stadium. Woodworth, Chris Seely, Elan Bibas, and Gracyn Blackmore — all 'Casa Amor' contestants on this summer's series — were escorted by Miami Dolphins cheerleaders to Day 3 of camp, a right usually reserved exclusively for media members, family and friends. Previously, current United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has joined practice as a special guest. Seely, alongside now-viral fitness influencer Huda Mustafa, made it to the season's finale, placing third overall. The four reality TV contestants were reserved to the VIP tent during training, where they were each gifted a personalized No. 7 Miami Dolphins jersey, given they were on the seventh season of the show's American iteration. With members of the Miami Dolphins cheerleading squad, the group was seen creating videos for social media platforms, Instagram and TikTok.
