Hearts Break As Dog Keeps Sister's Collar Close All Day After Her Death
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. When members of one family were forced to say goodbye to their beloved pocket bully Lucy, they weren't prepared for what their other dog, Reggie, would do next. In a video that has gained viral attention on TikTok, Reggie was captured walking slowly across the backyard patio, quietly carrying Lucy's collar in his mouth—something he did all day after her death. The caption read: "His sister just died and he walked around all morning with her collar." It wasn't long before the moment struck a chord with viewers, receiving more than 145,000 views and thousands of comments and reactions. "That's so sad but so lovely too," wrote one user. "And that's me sobbing while at work. Dogs are too precious for this world," added another. A third viewer commented: "Bless, just wants to feel safe so her collar is his safe thing." Shani77 said, "That's given me goose bumps," while viewer CB shared sympathy with the owners, too: "l hope you are doing good and l know how hard it is to miss a pet." Others offered their condolences. "Animals grieve too. Poor little angel," said one TikToker. Reggie the dog carries the collar in his mouth down the path. Reggie the dog carries the collar in his mouth down the path. @pippa7927/TikTok Do Dogs Feel Grief? While grief is often thought of as a human emotion, there is evidence that canines feel it, too. A 2022 study published in Scientific Reports surveyed 426 Italian dog owners who had lost one pup while another remained. The majority reported significant behavioral changes in the surviving dog, including reduced playfulness, altered sleep and eating habits, and increased clinginess or fearfulness. These shifts were especially pronounced when the canines had shared a close bond, regardless of how long they had lived together. The study also noted an emotional ripple effect: owners' own grief often correlated with shifts in their dogs' behavior, suggesting that emotional changes in their humans impacted canines, too. This isn't the first time a pup's heartbreak has prompted sympathy online. Earlier this year, a dog owner shared how her pet, Archer, still uses his friend Niko's bed months after he died. And a cat grieving for his canine friend was caught on camera looking at the picture of the family's 13-year-old German shepherd after his death. Newsweek reached out to poster @pippa7927 via TikTok for comment. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Flies hate these 5 plants – put them in your kitchen tonight to keep bugs out
As we endure yet another heatwave, we're once again caught in the timeless battle of keeping the windows open for a hopeful breeze of cool air while desperately trying to keep the bugs at bay. Like most of Britain, you're likely at your wits end dealing with Raid spray, plastic fly swats, and desperately trying to shoo flies off your summer fruit bowl. Fortunately, there are some known houseplants that flies are not particularly big fans of, that can help deter them from your kitchen – and some of these may surprise you. While not only keeping invasive insects at bay, these plants will bring vibrant greenery to your kitchen – and have other excellent uses to help curate your pest-free summer vibe. You may also like 7 easy ways to keep your house bug free all year round 4 ways to get rid of roaches fast 5 ways to keep spiders out of your home – and the one mistake you've been making Basil Basil's strong, aromatic scent is a natural fly deterrent, and makes the perfect addition to your kitchen windowsill. The herb thrives in sunny environments, and its strong fragrance overwhelms flies, keeping them at bay without the need for chemical sprays around your food. Plus, having basil on hand means you can easily add a fragrant touch to your pasta dishes and salads, perfect for a sun-dappled garden dinner the Italian way. Lavender A well known insect repellent, it's an added bonus that this plant looks so beautiful. While its fragrant scent has calming properties to humans, flies are known to dislike the smell. Try placing a plant near your kitchen window or door, to help reduce the number of flying pests entering your home. Beyond its practical uses, the scent of lavender can elevate your kitchen atmosphere, and the flowers can be dried and used in scent sachets or homemade cleaning products. Mint Another powerhouse plant when it comes to repelling unwanted insects, with flies finding its crisp aroma repugnant, making them less likely to buzz around your kitchen. You can place mint near windows and doorways, and also crush the leaves to help release their scent more potently. Consider also placing dried mint leaves in muslin or cotton bags around your kitchen strategically. Often also used for teas and garnishes, mint is extremely easy to care for and fast-growing, making it an ideal option to tackle flies quickly. Marigolds Marigolds aren't just cheerful, low-maintenance flowers – they're also incredibly effective at repelling flies. Their musky scent can deter many flying insects, from flies to mosquitoes, and they can act as a natural barrier while adding a splash of colour to your kitchen. You can also place freshly cut blooms in a vase or steep dried petals in hot water to make a DIY repellent spray, and lightly mist windowsills, doorframes, and surfaces where flies are a problem. Rosemary The woody fragrance of rosemary is not only delightfully summery, but also effective at deterring flies. As well as growing the hardy herb on your windowsill, you can also burn rosemary sprigs to create a smoke that drives flies away. On top of its insect-repelling qualities, rosemary is handy for seasoning meats and garnishing homemade bread.
