Doberman Spends 1 Night With Grandma, Then Everything Changes
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 dog owner was left stunned by the undeniable attitude she received from her Doberman after returning from just one night away. Jess McLaughlin from Calgary, Canada traveled to Edmonton for one evening to watch her beloved Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs. That meant getting her in-laws to dogsit her 2-year-old Doberman named Arlo for the night, which she knew he definitely wouldn't mind. Arlo loves his grandparents, as McLaughlin tells Newsweek that he's "always very excited" to see them, even if it means his owners will be elsewhere. Without a doubt, Arlo is willing to take one for the team if it means getting to spend quality time grandma and grandpa. "He loves when both his grandma and grandpa are here, and lots of spoiling takes place," McLaughlin said. "Arlo is like a grandpup to my mother-in-law, and he follows her everywhere and lays beside her on the couch, often while she knits." Arlo the Doberman with his grandma on the couch together. Arlo the Doberman with his grandma on the couch together. @ / Instagram When she returned the following day, McLaughlin might have hoped for a warm welcome from Arlo. As much as she knew he was content with his grandparents, it would be nice to know he missed her dearly. However, absence really didn't make the heart grow fonder for Arlo, who appeared to have "pledged allegiance to grandma" instead. As they all sat around together, Arlo lay beside his grandma and gave his owner an iconic death stare. When he was done staring at McLaughlin, Arlo gently and lovingly rested his head on his grandma's lap to prove his point. "I thought it was funny the bit of attitude I got from him. His actions definitely made me think I was chopped liver for the time being, and Grandma was his new primary human," McLaughlin continued. She couldn't resist sharing the footage on Arlo's dedicated Instagram account (@ and the clip went viral. In just a matter of days, the video has amassed over 6.2 million views and 207,000 likes on Instagram at the time of writing. The caption alongside the video reads: "That head turn at the end? Sorry, your time is up mom." When it was time for his grandparents to leave, Arlo was certainly sad to see them go. McLaughlin explained that whenever Arlo sees someone packing a bag, he tends to know what that means, and he'll sit there watching them. Hopefully, his owners will treat him to another night with his favorite babysitters soon. There's no denying how much he loves his grandma, but it's his grandpa who is the "ultimate spoiler" and offers up the most treats. Between the pair of them, they make sure that Arlo is well spoiled. Since the Instagram video was posted on July 14, it has gained over 1,000 comments from internet users lauding Arlo's antics. One comment reads: "They act like they don't know what home is when they get with grandma." Another Instagram user wrote: "That dog is a Libra. Once you've disappointed us, we're done with you." While another person joked: "Oh look my Uber driver is here." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!

Caleb Williams: Pressure's not a thing for me
The Bears' decision to hire Ben Johnson as their head coach this offseason was immediately tied to quarterback Caleb Williams and that connection has not faded away as the team has gotten on the field this summer. Williams was drafted first overall in 2024 because the Bears were looking for the franchise quarterback that has always eluded them. There's been talk of throwing for 4,000 yards and completing 70 percent of his passes while turning the team into a consistent winner, which creates some weighty expectations for a player in his second season. During an appearance on ESPN 1000, Williams said that he isn't feeling any pressure attached to those goals. 'Pressure's not a thing for me,' Williams said. 'I don't think of it that way. It's not my job to care what the outside noise is and things like that. My job is take care of everything in here and go out there and play. I know we didn't win as many games as we wanted to last year, but I didn't go 20 [touchdowns] and 20 interceptions and things like that. So, you know, take it for what you want, but no pressure is prevalent; pressure is a privilege, but you know the situation that I'm at. I don't think I have pressure.' Others might have a different view of Williams's situation heading into his second season, but any word choice will carry the same need to show the kind of clear growth after a five-win 2024 season that leads to questions about pressure to win it all rather than simply making it in the NFL.
