A woman in England has melted the hearts of viewers on TikTok after sharing a quiet yet powerful moment between her and her newly adopted dogs, Miso and Pickle, as they settled into their new home after being rescued from Romania.
The dogs' early bond with their new owner was chronicled in a video by @miso.pickle, which was shared to the platform on July 29. Viewers were able to see the two skittish dogs hesitantly stepping into their new life, gradually warming to the unfamiliar setting.
Within an hour, they transformed from appearing fearful to showing the first signs of trust and connection. The short clip has been viewed more than 300,000 times and liked by over 23,000 users, striking a chord with viewers around the world.
The footage begins with the dogs arriving at the woman's home in England, after traveling from Romania.
At first, they are reluctant to enter, clearly unsure of their surroundings. An overlaid text on the video documents the first meeting step by step: "Nervous to come inside at first...I offered some food...Pickle seems very keen but Miso is still a bit unsure...Curious but still nervous...Giving him some space to explore...Exploring the new pad...They approach to sniff...'I feel safe with you...I think we're home.'"
By the end of the clip, the pair are captured nestled comfortably against their new owner, a moment of peace replacing their earlier anxiety.
The caption accompanying the post read: "First hour with my Romanian rescue dogs. They were tired, scared and hungry for love. They melted my heart the moment I saw them. Welcome home my babies."
What resonated with viewers was not just the animals' adjustment, but the understated demonstration of patience and empathy it took to help them feel safe. In the span of a few short clips, the dogs were shown relaxing their guard and embracing their new home.
The pet owner has quickly drawn admiration, with viewers praising the calm and respectful introduction to a new environment.
"Who are you and why are you making me cry at this time in the morning?" one viewer commented. "Like seriously who do you think you are. I love seeing the dogs' bodies relax, and their body language change over the course of the hour. They knew so quickly they were safe. Following to see how these precious babies learn to love life."
"Wow this is so wonderful to see," another added. "We have adopted two Romanian street dogs over the years, and it is tough at times, but these guys are doing so well. Thank you for adopting them. Such lucky dogs."
"I just finished a [12-hour] night shift, and this just made me go to bed feeling happy," a third viewer shared. "I know two angels are forever safe."

Some things just can't stay buttoned up. American Eagle has responded to critics after the brand's new denim campaign with Sydney Sweeney caused major controversy.

Instagram/@americaneagle 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,' the statement continued. 'Great jeans look good on everyone.' Advertisement Sweeney, 27, and American Eagle faced backlash earlier this week after the blonde-haired, blue-eyed 'White Lotus' starlet appeared in a new denim ad for the popular clothing and accessories retailer. 'I have great jeans… now you can too,' the 'Euphoria' actress wrote on Instagram on July 23, alongside a video for the controversial campaign. 7 Sydney Sweeney posing for American Eagle's new 'Great Jeans' ad campaign.

Advertisement 'I thought it was gonna be, like, kinda bad, but wow,' one critic wrote on TikTok. 'That's gonna be in history books!' 'I will be the friend that's too woke, but those Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ads are weird,' another added. 'Like, fascist weird.

Sydney Sweeney ad sparked controversy. Here's what Americans think of it in poll
An American Eagle advertisement campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney has ignited a fiery debate, drawing reactions from social media users, celebrities and even the White House. But what do ordinary Americans think of it? The controversy stems from the clothing brand's use of wordplay involving 'jeans' and 'genes.' In one commercial, released in late July, Sweeney explains, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,' while the camera lingers on her denim pants. It concludes with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' The ad, and others like it, sparked a flurry of comments on apps like TikTok and X, with some users accusing American Eagle of promoting eugenics, white nationalism and 'Nazi propaganda.' 'It's more than cheeky wordplay, it's a dog whistle,' one TikTok user said. Public figures soon weighed in. Singer Doja Cat released a video appearing to mock Sweeney — who rose to fame starring in shows like 'Euphoria' and 'The White Lotus.' Late night host Stephen Colbert addressed the ad campaign on his show, saying online claims that it supports eugenics 'might be a bit of an overreaction.' Vice President JD Vance also offered his thoughts on the matter during a podcast interview, accusing Democrats of making a fuss over nothing. 'My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi,' he said. 'That appears to be their actual strategy.' American Eagle put out a statement on Aug. 1, saying the viral ad campaign 'is and always was about the jeans,' adding 'great jeans look good on everyone.' Most Americans appear to agree that reactions to the ad have been overblown, with a new YouGov poll revealing a majority do not have a problem with the campaign. In the survey — conducted with 3,509 U.S. adults July 31-Aug. 1 — 52% of respondents said the ad's use of wordplay is appropriate, while just 16% labeled it as inappropriate. About one-third, 32%, said they weren't sure. That said, there was a noticeable partisan divide on this question. While the vast majority of Republicans, 64%, said the ad campaign was appropriate, less than half of Democrats and independents — 46% and 49%, respectively — said the same. In contrast, 24% of Democrats said the campaign's wordplay was inappropriate, while 14% of independents and just 10% of Republicans said the same. The results were similar when respondents were asked if saying someone has 'great genes' is appropriate or not. A majority, 53%, said using this phrase is appropriate, while 15% said it is inappropriate, and 31% said they were not sure. Here, again, there were substantial partisan differences, according to the poll, which has a margin of error of 2 percentage points. Two-thirds of Republicans said the phrase is fine to use, while half of independents and 44% of Democrats agreed. By comparison, 24% of Democrats labeled the phrase inappropriate. Fourteen percent of independents and 9% of Republicans said the same. Respondents were also asked whether 'all press is good press.' The overwhelming majority, 73%, said they disagreed with this statement, while 10% said they agreed and 17% said they were not sure. It comes after American Eagle's stock price rose by roughly 25% on July 23, the day the ad campaign was announced, according to Rolling Stone. In more recent days, it has fallen.

'Spider-Man 4' Confirms Return of Fan-Favorite MCU Hero and Villain
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. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Just days after it was announced that "Spider-Man 4," aka "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," was bringing Jon Bernthal in as the Punisher. The new Tom Holland-led film is officially bringing back a fan-favorite MCU hero and villain. More news: John Krasinski Announces "A Quiet Place 3' Release Date Per a report from The Hollywood Reporter, it is confirmed that the new "Spider-Man" sequel will bring back Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. That isn't the only addition, as Michael Mando will also return to the fold to portray Scorpion. It will be interesting how the plot is set up, considering Spider-Man asked Doctor Strange to make everyone forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. This includes MJ, Ned, and presumably the rest of the heroes left in the MCU. Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Sony owns the rights to the Marvel character. Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Sony owns the rights to the Marvel character. Marvel More news: Disney Sets Date for Original 'Star Wars' 50th Anniversary Re-Release It would be believed that Spider-Man might have a run-in with Dr. Bruce Banner, and would hopefully not have to fight The Hulk in the process. "Spider-Man: No Way Home" was the last film that Holland appeared in as the Web Slinger and was easily the most brazen. Not only did Doctor Strange make an important appearance and memory wipe, but the comic-loving world got to see the return of Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, Jamie Foxx as Electro, Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus, but Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprised their roles as Peter Parker as well. Marvel has waited a long time to start putting together the next chapter in the Holland-led universe, and it is believed that this may be the final one. Holland has spoken publicly about his desire to move away from the role entirely. There have been plenty of rumors regarding Marvel potentially moving on to feature Miles Morales in the role of Spider-Man, but recent reports indicated that MCU leader Kevin Feige has instructed everyone to not touch Morales until the "Spider-Verse" movies wrap up. Morales has become a mainstay and fan-favorite fixture in comics as Spider-Man, becoming even more popular due to the Sony video games that feature him in a prominent role, and the previously mentioned "Spider-Verse" animated films. It would be great to see him emerge in live-action, but that is likely not to happen for a few years. Whatever the case may be, Marvel has hit home runs with the current Spider-Man films, and the same should be expected from the fourth entry that features Holland. "Spider-Man 4" is due out on July 31, 2026. For more movie news, head to Newsweek Movies.
