A "terrifying" dog sneaking up on his owner has captivated—and spooked—internet viewers.
A dog owner, Nicole, who uses the TikTok tag @nicocohoh0, posted a video of her pet's unusual—and slightly scary—behavior. The clip has received over 572,000 likes and more than 2.8 million views on the platform. Overlaying the footage, Nicole wrote: "Can someone explain to me why my dog is so sneaky?" In the caption, she added: "It's actually a little terrifying …"
The video shows the blond dog, Milo, peeking around the side of a door frame, staring intently at their owner, and sticking one leg out.
TikTok users were quick to respond to the peculiar scene. "Have you heard of skinwalkers?" asked Brandon Vega.
"He looks like the skinwalker dog," posted Harper.
"My girl does this too! She drops a Frisbee, runs behind a bush and peeks. Such a little weirdo," shared one user.
"The leg is fryyying me," added another.

What Are Skinwalkers?
Experts at HowStuffWorks say that, in Navajo (Diné) folklore, a skinwalker is an evil witch who can transform into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal.
Known as yee naaldlooshii—meaning "with it, he goes on all fours"—skinwalkers are often said to take the form of coyotes, wolves, foxes, or bears, though they can appear as any animal.
Skinwalkers are believed to possess supernatural powers, including extreme speed, mimicry, mind control, and the ability to place curses. In animal form, their eyes may glow red when illuminated, adding to their fearsome reputation.

"I wasn't scared until I saw how long he is," posted user Demi.
"We had a Doberman who did this, she used to hide behind the garage and sneak around when she'd hear my husband coming. He used to try to sneak down to her, but he never caught her out. She'd jump out and come with the tail wagging and jump up on him," commented Angela.
"The chances of being stalked by your own golden retriever are low, but never zero," added Kara.
"You sure he isn't hunting you," asked another user.

Bill Maher rips Hunter Biden after Melania Trump threatens to sue disgraced ex-first son
HBO 'Real Time' host Bill says Hunter Biden better be worried about Melania Trump's threat to sue him for $1 billion after the scandal-scarred former first son claimed she was introduced to President Donald Trump by late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 'Melania says she's going to sue Hunter Biden,' the late-night funnyman said Friday, drawing laughs from his audience. 'That's not the joke part. I really like this where she says she's going to sue him for a billion dollars.' Advertisement 'If Hunter loses, it's going to be weird for him writing a woman a check because she's not a prostitute,' said Maher, drawing chuckles and applause. 3 HBO 'Real Time' host Bill says Hunter Biden better be worried about Melania Trump's threat to sue him for $1 billion after the scandal-scarred former first son claimed she was introduced to President Donald Trump by late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Real Time with Bill Maher The first lady put Biden on notice Wednesday that she'll sue him unless he apologizes and takes down a podcast video where he made the false claim.

Women On TikTok Recreating One Hilarious Hamilton Scene
In case you needed a reason to feel old, it's already the 10-year anniversary of Hamilton. To mark a decade of the iconic musical, the original cast reunited for a performance at this year's Tonys, and the filmed version of the show is set to be released in theaters in September. Of course, the internet at large is choosing to respond to this decennial anniversary with the most randomly hilarious trend possible: a TikToks where women dressed in colonial drag sneak out a window and lip-sync to the song "Best of Wives and Best of Women" and insinuate that Alexander thinks his wife is like, so annoying for having the gall to catch him sneaking off to his (spoiler alert) death. The trend began when TikTok user actuallyhamilt0n posted their hilarious interpretation of the scene. Instead of the tragic irony that accompanies the knowledge that Alexander is slinking off only to meet his death, we get an Alexander who literally can't even deal right now with his annoying, nagging wife. One commenter on the video wrote, "this isn't a hamilton cosplay, this is a lin manuel miranda cosplay": Another said, "imagine looking out your window to see how peaceful the night is then you see alexander hamilton is your neighbour and is halfway through a window 😭😭": And the History Channel wrote, "this is our first impression of u and we love u": People quickly jumped on the trend, and each video is cracking me up in its own way. The facial expressions in this one are absolutely perfect: "This is the best one I've seen, how did u know how to act like an inconvenienced man so well," asked one commenter. The creator replied, "Cuz I've been inconvenienced by men." Dying. "You really capture his essence of not wanting to be around his wife," one user wrote. Another person said, "The 'I know' smile is killing me." Hard same. The window-creeping here is too good: He might be the worst husband in the world — this commenter wrote, "you perfectly capture the 'I hate my wife and have no emotion when talking to her' look in his eye." "It's seeing the moment you realized how high that window was but also you not breaking character," one woman said. Or, more to the point, "THE WAY YOU'RE SILENTLY PANICKING." Of course, the trend (and the effort put in) only got more ridiculous from there. This example is particularly funny: And I was evidently not the only one wondering why everyone has a colonial outfit ready to don. Seriously: People were joking about how horrible of a husband Alexander truly was: As time went on, the sets and costumes somehow grew so much more elaborate — for example, see this one with a horse: One user wrote, "The budget increase as I scroll thru this trend is sending me." "Not the horse side eyeing her," said someone else: And another person said, "I like the implication that she was sleeping in the stall." Me too, random internet user. Me too. This Alexander was particularly committed to a hilarious location. Walking straight into the water is frying me: "When you turned around with the goggles on I LOST ITTTTTT," a commenter wrote. "We finally made it out the window goddamit," another person quipped. This Alexander opted for the most amazing, creepy, funny mask I have ever seen instead of the typical drawn-on goatee, and I am obsessed with that choice: The costume was so good I almost didn't even clock that Alex was exiting through the chimney. One fairly composed user replied to that by saying, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT," expressing my own thoughts more eloquently than perhaps I ever could. Another commenter (who happens to be Staples) wrote, "please stay in the chimney I'm scared." Hard agree. This person referenced the song lyric, "I'll be back before I know I'm gone," and said, "please don't." And this person pointed out that "AI could never replicate this art." True. This creator had the genius idea of setting their video in a water slide. "Hamilton will do literally anything to get away from Eliza," they captioned the video. And this Alexander seems particularly fed up by his wife. I am laughing so hard. "This is the best I've seen so far," commented a user named Sean. And as a bonus, here are some other Hamilton videos inspired by this trend that I thought were absolutely hilarious: This woman getting caught filming her lip-sync is so funny: This one — the lipstick on the neck? The underwear? I'm laughing: And finally, what may be my favorite video to date. Between the outfit and the facial expressions, this one has me absolutely dying: The internet is a weird place — I wouldn't have been able to predict this trend in a million years, but now that it's here, I think it's so funny. Tell me your favorite video (or just your thoughts in general) down in the comments below!

Prince William, Kate Middleton moving to new family home for ‘fresh start' after scary cancer battle
It's a royal move.

'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind,' the source added. Unlike Adelaide Cottage, William and Kate are said to see the move to Forest Lodge as a 'long-term' move into their 'forever home.' 10 The entrance hall of Forest Lodge.

William and Kate were living at Adelaide Cottage, which is not far from Windsor Castle, when the princess was diagnosed with cancer last year.

'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' she said in July. 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,' William's wife added last month.
