Hilarity As Belgian Malinois Attempts To Play With Neighbor's Dogs
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
In a viral TikTok video, a Belgian Malinois can be seen trying his best to play with the neighbors' German shepherds, and internet users can't cope with the hilarious footage.
The post, shared on Sunday under the username @pavonavintage, shows the poster's two German shepherds quietly hanging around in their huge backyard when, all of a sudden, the Belgian Malinois next door enters the scene.
As the two pups stare from behind the fence, the Belgian Malinois begins jumping like a kangaroo as high as he can. The dog is trying to get the best view of his neighbors, hoping that he will get to play with them one day.
"When your neighbor gets a Belgian Malinois," reads a caption shared with the clip.
Belgian Malinois are known for being among the most-intelligent and active canines, but do they make good companion pets?
The experts at Pet MD say that these pups are highly smart, loyal dogs known for their boundless energy and need for both physical and mental stimulation. A simple daily walk won't meet their needs—this breed thrives on rigorous activity such as long-distance running, with 5-mile runs in the morning being ideal.
To stay happy and balanced, Belgian Malinois require consistent, intensive training over the long term. Their athleticism and intelligence make them perfect partners for running, hiking, or biking, and they excel in agility, obedience, herding, and tracking sports. However, without enough structured activity, the breed can become restless and turn to destructive behaviors out of boredom.
Due to their high drive and energy levels, Belgian Malinois are best suited for active owners who can dedicate time and effort to their daily exercise and training.

The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 764,000 views and more than 80,000 likes on the platform.
One user, Pixie444, commented: "I love that your pup brings his toy to the fence … canine show and tell."
Caveman posted: "Time to cut a hole in the fence. 2 German Shepards and a Belgian Malinois in those two yards would be fun for a long time."
GSD Mom added: "The German Shepherd's will have their own little tunnel under the fence to visit their new hyper friend."

If You've Never Been A Dress Person, These 31 Options May Change Your Mind
A lantern sleeve mini I'm sure Belle would wear for a summertime jaunt to the library in 2025. A floral maxi dress can satisfy the Debbie Jellinsky part of your personal style. (Joan Cusack is such an icon in Addams Family Values). A floral mini dress if you've gotta look really cute, really fast after flying over The North Pole to get wherever you're vacationing. A long-sleeve boho dress to help you realize your easy-breezy style. A belted ruffled dress will help cut back on the math you have to do to figure out if a top will tuck neatly into a dress. This gives you that look for half the effort. A one-shouldered frock prime for that May wedding you've got on your schedule where you'll see a ton of old college buds and, therefore, will have a horde of pics from it after. A *pocketed* maxi will be super easy to wear, even if your plans for the day is to just roll around on the floor with the puppy. (Am I invited?) An easy, breezy patchwork mini dress to wear when you need to look cute but want the least amount of fabric possible touching your skin. (Aka, most summer days.) A knee-length halter dress available in a range of colors and prints so you'll probably wanna snag a few for all kinds of seasonal photo ops. A floral midi built to impress — especially if a babydoll or nap dress shape isn't your thing. A black organza dress that's giving Wednesday season two. But you shouldn't wait around 'til that airs to wear it! (You can get a plain black slip to wear underneath!) A drawstring bodycon dress with some major versatility — you can adjust the drawstring for the perfect length and look, then throw all kinds of outerwear over it as needed. (There are sooo many pregnant reviewers who love it!) A chic mini dress that reviewers say is lightweight and breathable, so it'll prob end up in the top of your rotation come late-sprint. A tiger-print dress passersby will assume you bought on a luxurious, tropical vacation. Go ahead. Let 'em assume. But then if they ask, be super helpful and point them to this Etsy shop chock full of dresses in glorious prints. A linen babydoll dress you can have custom-made to fit your measurements. Plus, that super cute low back (and the summer heat) will be the perfect excuse to go bra-less. Life is short. Bra bands are too tight. A halter-neck sundress in a maxi silhouette and a variety of patterns to help elevate your grand entrance — even if it's just popping in the store to buy some TP. A graphic maxi dress for a chic, dramatic statement. Pregnant *and* non-pregnant reviewers are raving about it! A wrap dress will let ya show lots of leg to the period piece beaus you're currently binge-watching. A cherry-picked frock in case you need yet another '90s-inspired thing in your closet. Yes, yes you do need it. Trust me, I bought it a few summers ago and have worn it at least a dozen times since. A midi corset dress that'll help scratch that cottagecore itch for the TikTok-famous House of CB Carmen dress. Except for nearly $200 less. A ladylike polka-dot number that tbh you could wear to brunch with your great-aunt and then out day-drinking with your roomies after. But it also has accommodating stretch, barely wrinkles, and will look so nice in any photos where you wanna look fab but don't wanna upstage your surroundings. A flowy boho style you'll get a ton of use out of in other seasons. It'll look equally amazing with cowboy boots or sandals. Cue to you in a piazza in Rome rocking this with your favorite accessory, a cone of gelato. A showstopping mesh dress you can use as a base for basically any special event's ensemble. Hello, Summer Goth. An airy nap dress I own and plan to wear as much as possible. It's super easy to adjust the puff sleeves from on- to off-the-shoulder to fit your mood. A tie-strap beaut in an ankle-grazing length for those moments when you've GOTTA stoop down and play with a puppy. This has you covered. A striped cap sleeve midi — it might be the next best (and comfiest) thing to wearing a night gown out and about. A floor-length gown will look soooo pretty whether you're wearing it as a bridesmaid in your friend's wedding or in impromptu photo shoot by your pal who just got a new camera. A casual striped option with some ruffled sleeves to make it feel a bit special but not super dressy. We're keeping it casual rn. A versatile tiered maxi dress to layer with your longer-sleeve tops so you can comfortably sit in your chilly office. A flared vintage-inspired dress you'll wanna buy after your next Hairspray is always a great idea. A pom-pom strap maxi for a stylish twist on the "nap dress" style we all rely on to keep us cool and chic when the sun starts to bake. Twirling in this is, in fact, mandatory, and lack of twirl is punishable by nap dress law.

How to get Pamela Anderson and Miley Cyrus' 'ghost lashes' look: The beauty trend that everyone is wearing
Bobs, bixies and shags; We're all in the know with what's trending in the world of hair, but what about makeup? Well, per everyone's fave celebs – from Pamela Anderson to Miley Cyrus and even the 'It girls' on TikTok – 'ghost lashes' is the rising trend to know. But with such an ambiguous name, what constitutes a ghost lash and how is the look best achieved? Keep on reading below to swot up on the next big thing in beauty... Defined by their barely-there appearance, ghost lashes enhance one's natural lengths but without making too much of a statement. Think: Your lashes but a lil bit better. By adding slight definition via your lash curler or just a lick of mascara (you can opt for clear for minimal definition, brown for a whisper or black for a little more pigment), ghost lashes create an open yet fresh and natural look. The latest celebrity to adopt the look? Miley Cyrus, who appeared on the cover of Perfect magazine overnight, with her take on the ghost lashes trend. As mentioned, Miley's ghost lashes are in good company. Pamela Anderson has, arguably, fronted the look for a number of years after vowing to rock a mostly makeup-free face back in 2019. So, with six years under her belt, she sure does know how to rock a ghost lash. While Pamela herself hasn't explicitly confirmed what she uses on her lashes – if anything – we would assume that she has implemented a lash serum into her routine, rather than a mascara. This makes for a more streamlined and minimal everyday makeup regimen. Shop our faves here (tried and tested, ppl)! In an age where everyone's chasing faster results with less (read: work smarter, not harder), we can see how the trend has taken off. Me personally? I'm going to stick with my spidery tubing formulas. But hey, each to their own! Follow Lia on Instagram. Lia Mappoura (she/her) is the Beauty Writer at Cosmopolitan UK. Covering everything from viral celebrity hair and makeup news to the latest trend predictions, she's an expert in recognising the season's next big beauty look (before it ends up all over your social media feeds). You'll usually find her putting TikTok's recent beauty hacks to the Hype Test, challenging the gender-makeup binary and social stereotypes, or fangirling over the time Kourtney Kardashian viewed her Instagram Story (yes, it's true).

Is Jason Bond Boston's best-known roving chef?
Get Winter Soup Club A six-week series featuring soup recipes and cozy vibes, plus side dishes and toppings, to get us all through the winter. Enter Email Sign Up Bond still hopes to open his own urban restaurant. But, for now, he's content to cook in someone else's kitchen. Advertisement Is it psychologically weird to cook for someone else? Do you feel like: 'Wait! I'm Jason Bond!'? Or do you adopt the culture of wherever you're working? I think it's a blend. I think they hire you for what you bring, and you should do your best to bring that. But at the same time, you know, not everything that I do is appropriate for the environment. The brisket I smoked this morning was inappropriate for Clover a couple years ago. Advertisement One of the things about owning your own restaurants is that you can take suggestions or not. It's your choice. If something crashes and burns, at least it's your own decision. As an employee, you do your best to just make suggestions and use your experience to guide the team. Did you always want to be a chef? Well, I always liked cooking and eating. I grew up in Wyoming, and then Kansas after that, and both of my grandmothers had big gardens and preserves and that kind of thing. My grandma raised chickens. I grew up around pies and really good, Midwestern-type cooking. In college, I was a music major at Kansas State, playing the trombone, and I was positive that I was going to be playing with the Berlin Philharmonic at this point in my life. I was studying music. I was taking German lessons. I was working in restaurants, just for a job. By the end of college, I was walking around with Harold McGee's 'On Food and Cooking' under my arm. Wherever I went, I had some kind of food book under my arm. The first restaurant I worked at, a burger place called Vista Drive-In, I got in trouble for trying to tweak how we plated the burger. They're like: 'Stop messing with it!' I enjoyed the tactile and creative part of it as much as you could. My second job was actually for a group who were all from Los Angeles, and a couple had worked for Wolfgang Puck. They'd all run track at Kansas State and then decided they liked the town, so they opened a place called Lucky Brewgrille. There was a wood-burning pizza oven, which was unheard of back then. Advertisement After college, I packed my Subaru and drove from Manhattan, Kan., out to Essex Junction, Vt., to attend the New England Culinary Institute. I did a straight 24-hour drive and took a wrong turn at the end of the night and ended up on the wrong side of Lake Champlain. I took a beautiful ferry ride across in the morning to Burlington. You had your own space in Cambridge. You were in Concord for a little bit. What led you to close those spots, and what makes you want to reopen your own restaurant? Concord just didn't work. I'll chalk that up to another part of my education. It wasn't going to be worth being there, money-wise. I planned on closing Bondir in Cambridge pre-pandemic. I was doing more and more baking out of Cambridge and selling to different cafés and markets and things like that, kind of wholesale. At the same time, Cambridge had evolved over the years to eventually being only a tasting menu. And that was really fun, but I also missed more bistro-type cooking: informal, larger-format-type cooking that Cambridge was too small to do. I was looking at different ideas for finding a larger space, where we could have maybe a couple separate rooms to continue doing the tasting menu for the crowd who liked that and expand the bakery operation. Then the pandemic hit, and it was a scramble to stay in business. During the pandemic, bakery sales certainly helped the business survive, because we were able to expand on that to the point that I actually had to buy new equipment just to be able to produce the volume that we were producing. But it further reinforced the idea that we were just maxing out the physical space. Advertisement I closed to spend time looking for a space, work for some other people, and see what I could learn. It's just been a lot more difficult to get a space where all the parameters work out than I thought it would be, because rents are higher than in 2010. Build-out costs are so much more expensive. It will [happen] eventually. A plate of Scituate Scallops from Bondir in 2011. Essdras M Suarez/Globe Staff How has Cambridge changed since you first opened your restaurant versus now? It seems like there's hardly any independent people like me — just a person running their place. It seems really hard to find outside of a bull market situation. Bondir, for example, had 28 seats. We could probably push it to 35 if we really stretched our seating allowance and hoped the inspectors didn't come by. But it was a small restaurant. You could run it very efficiently. If it was slow and there's a pandemic, you could easily shrink it down, and you didn't have to fire anybody. If it's busy, it's only 35 seats. Ultimately, Bondir was two people. We started off with seven when we first opened, and things were just cranking. We discovered that there was a sweet spot where we could really do half the sales and make the same profit. Because we could do it with fewer people, we could do it more efficiently. I like the small restaurant idea. To me, it works and makes sense business-wise. What about the taste of customers? What do people want these days? Advertisement Another reason I wanted to get back out in the world and work for some people was just simply to see what people were ordering and what people were interested in. That was my problem with opening in Concord. I didn't know those people. I knew the Bondir people. When I was in the developmental phase of my career at fine-dining restaurants, people were interested in a bigger variety of things, maybe; I haven't gotten to travel in a few years. There seems to be less interest in actually seeking out something or being excited by something that's unfamiliar: even old-school dishes, like veal or lamb sweetbreads. Are you going to put sweetbreads on your menu? When it's mine? Yes, 100 percent. I'd love to have one at Lou's eventually. I see Lou's like when I started at Beacon Hill Bistro: Go in and start building from zero and start forming a relationship. See who the people are that come in. See what they like. Let them get to know me. See what I'm like, and you sort of start that conversation, and you learn who's interested in different things. Slowly, you can grow the menu and expand and slowly see what excites them or what pisses them off. I think it's more about building a relationship at this point. Advertisement Tell me about Lou's. What are you serving? The new owners really made a beautiful space. It's a cool, old-school, clubby-type setting, that old dinner-and-a-show-type thing where you might go hear Sinatra singing and you're having a martini and a steak or whatever. Or not a steak. Anyway, I wrote down pages of ideas around food from that era and that style of dining. Then, I took out the edit pen and figured out how to lighten it up. Harvard Square has students, tourists, people who actually live here. Those are three very different groups, and we want to be a place that welcomes everyone in and has something for them — a reason for them to come in and a reason for them to come back, hopefully, more importantly. I wanted the menu to reflect all the different people and all the different ways they might use the space as a place in their community. For people visiting, I wanted to be sure that if they were just dropped here and saw the menu, it would give them an experience of actually being in Cambridge in August. The ingredients are of the season. The ingredients are from here. I don't want it to be the same kind of menu you'd have at the airport. I wanted it to be something that actually has context for where we are and when we are. It's fresh and seasonal and, I think, classic American cooking. How has Harvard Square changed over the years? It's kind of like Central Square, where I live. The character has changed a lot over the last 20-some years, but also, you're less likely to get stabbed in an alley and that kind of thing. It's good and bad. There's a Citizens Bank Café or something like that. You've got that kind of thing, versus your Joanne Chang bakery. I've been hearing the same thing about Harvard Square for 20 years, where it's like, 'Oh, it's losing its character.' I wouldn't say that the argument is different now. There are still a few small, weird places, but there are fewer of them, I think. Everything changes. That's life in general. You adapt or move to Kansas or something. Where do you eat when you're not working? I've been to Saigon Babylon a couple times recently. It's really fun. I think those guys are amazing. I go to the Plough and Stars a lot. I just love it, and I've been going there as long as I've lived here. Something draws me to it. What's your go-to order? The gumbo and a Guinness. If we're going out for a nice dinner, we love going to Spoke or Pammy's. Those are good examples of independent operators who are doing creative things, and I'm super happy to see that they're very busy. But those are the type of places it's harder to find — or maybe there are the same number of creative restaurants as there always has been, but there are just a lot more restaurants in general. That's probably actually what's happening. There are the same number of good restaurants; it's just that there are a lot more restaurants than there used to be. What restaurants that no longer exist do you really miss? Oh, man. No. 9 Park back in the old days was incredible. Clio was a lot of fun, just because [Ken Oringer] was doing his very best to push and be creative in a fine-dining format. Hamersley's was such an inspiration, just because you could see [Gordon Hamersley] there every night of the week, working, making sure things were like they should be. It was such a classic Boston restaurant. I went to Biba so many times when I first moved to Boston. I was a young cook and it blew me away, just the ideas, the feeling of the room, and the different foods [Lydia Shire] would do. Some were elegant, some were funny — just the names, the words she used, the ingredients, and even the service aspect. The maître d' had a huge impact on me. I remember going in, I was a kid, in a suit that I bought Buck a Pound or something. I walk up the stairs in the dining room, and the maître d''s like, 'So glad you're here!' The idea of saying that to someone in a way that sounds like you actually mean it made a big impact on what I thought you could do with a restaurant: It's simply to make somebody feel really good. The bar space at Eastern Standard on Oct. 22, 2023. Nathan Klima for The Boston Globe What is your take on the new Eastern Standard? Can it recapture the old magic? It's hard to open a restaurant. It's really hard to open a classic restaurant. Garrett [Harker] is kind of like Gordon Hamersley, where Garrett's there every night, working his ass off. I don't even understand it sometimes, watching him running plates. You own it! You have people to do it. Like I said with Harvard Square, things change, and you've got to change and adapt, and that's how you continue to grow. Everybody's going to miss the room and the original Eastern Standard that blew everybody away and was such a thing. The new Eastern Standard's got incredible chefs, an incredible bar program. They're really killing it, and they built it out in such a way. It's a beautiful kitchen. It's a beautiful production space. The original Eastern Standard wasn't necessarily built to actually be busy. I think they're fighting nostalgia, because people went to the old Eastern Standard for so many years, and it's like, oh, man, this place is amazing. The new one only has 14-foot ceilings instead of 30. Sorry, but what are you going to do? You've got to do your best. They take amazing care of people. They're a great restaurant, and even if they did have to change spaces, it's still a great restaurant. What do you do when you're not working? I like to cycle. I like to read. I like to work on my business plan. My girlfriend just moved in, so we've been spending a lot of time just sort of moving two adults' worth of furniture around the apartment. What would you eat for your last meal? Probably a whole rhubarb pie. Interview was edited and condensed. Kara Baskin can be reached at
