Dog's Reaction When 'Wrong Human' Comes Home Has Internet in Stitches

In a viral TikTok video, a dog owner shared her pup's unique reaction when the spare human comes home, instead of her favorite, and internet users can't cope with the hilarious footage.
The clip shared on Wednesday under the username @chapters.of.viri, shows the poster stepping through her front door as her Australian shepherd named Koda, not only doesn't get up to greet her, but also refuses even to acknowledge her. Instead, the pup keeps on napping right by the door, unbothered my her mom's presence, waiting for her actual favorite person to come through the door.
"When the wrong human shows up," reads layover text in the clip, as the poster can be heard saying to the pup: "You're not even going to get up to greet me? Hello to you too!"
Only when Koda is told off for her behavior does she get up and greet her mom like she is supposed to. "When the wrong human shows up- [you're] uninterested," the caption reads.
If you have ever had the hunch that your dog has a favorite person, you are probably right. Canines do in fact have their favorite people, and they are not always their owners, or even people living in the same household.
Most pups have a favorite person, and, as the video clearly shows, Koda's one is probably not her mom, even though it is clear that she is the main caregiver.
A dog's favorite can be anyone from their walker to their grandparents. Vet Explains Pets says, in an article written by Dr. Jess Kirk, that every dog is unique and can pick their favorite person for very different reasons.
However, the factors that most influence a pup's choice include time spent together, interaction and engagement, personality traits, physical traits, routine, trust and respect, as well as past experiences with the person.

The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 1.7 million views and more than 268,000 likes on the platform.
One user, BabygyalDre, commented: "I want to see him when the right human shows up."
Shane posted: "This is my dog … I'm the only human btw [by the way]."
Siobhan added: "Suppose I better say hello in case I have to rely on you for food."

Every Netflix show canceled in 2025 (so far)
Over the years, Netflix has developed an (unwanted) reputation for being pretty quick to cancel shows. The streaming service certainly isn't afraid to axe a series after just a single season if it doesn't find a larger enough viewership right out of the gate. I was writing about this 'issue' in 2021, and in the years since, if anything, Netflix's reputation for trigger-happy cancelations has only become more pronounced. And the platform certainly won't be shedding that rep in 2025, as the last few months have already seen a skew of shows being canceled, including big original bets like 'The Residence' and 'Pulse.' Below, I'm rounding up every Netflix show canceled in 2025, from action-packed thrillers to sports docuseries offering an insight into elite competitions. These are the Netflix shows that won't be returning. Netflix was hoping to carve itself a slice of the 'Yellowstone' empire with 'Terrority', and while the early signs were positive (The Australian neo-Western show managed to hit No. 1 globally for a brief period), clearly the streaming service didn't see a long-term future pulling the plug after a single season. The show starred Anna Torv, Michael Dorman and Robert Taylor, and centered on a family running the world's largest cattle station. 'Terrority' also scored highly with critics and viewers, so this early cancellation seemingly wasn't tied to a lack of quality. Seasons: 1 Total episodes: 6 In the wake of 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive's' major success, Netflix went big on sports documentaries, and while some like the golf-focused 'Full Swing' appear to have found an audience, others haven't been quite so fortunate. 'Six Nations: Full Contact,' which offers an inside look at the world of professional rugby, was confirmed to be finished ahead of its second season in January, showing Netflix's lack of faith in the project. Seasons: 2Total episodes: 16 Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The jokes write themselves with this one because 'Surviving Summer' didn't manage to survive cancellation. It did get two seasons under its belt before its fate was sealed, but the teen drama never achieved the popularity of similar shows like 'Outer Banks' or 'Ginny & Georgia.' It saw a rebellious teen named Summer (Sky Katz) forced to move from Brooklyn to Australia after being expelled from her high school. Seasons: 2Total episodes: 18 Another victim of Netflix's current cull of its sports docuseries, 'Tour de France: Unchained' won't be returning in the future. The series did manage three seasons, which is a respectable total, but I guess we'll all just have to enjoy more traditional coverage of next year's Tour de France as the Netflix cameras won't be there to capture the unseen drama. Seasons: 3Total episodes: 24 'The Recruit' was canceled less than two months after its second season debuted in late January. This one came as quite a shock, as the Noah Centineo-fronted action-thriller seemed popular, and a good alternative to Prime Video's 'Jack Reacher' show. However, perhaps the writing was on the wall for 'The Recruit' as its season 2 run was reduced from an initial eight-episode order to just six. Releasing so close to the similarly themed 'The Night Agent' has been pointed to as a potential cause. Seasons: 2Total episodes: 14 'Shafted' was a French spin-off from Netflix's Spanish show 'Alpha Males,' but like many spin-offs, it wasn't able to capture the same interest. The synopsis reads 'A group of four middle-aged male friends navigates the complexities of love, life and career challenges in modern-day Paris,' which, to be honest, is such a generic setup for a show that I'm not particularly surprised it only scored a single season. I can't see a hook. Seasons: 1Total episodes: 6 Netflix may have hoped it would have another 'Bridgerton' on its hands with 'The Lady's Companion,' a Spanish period drama with plenty of frothy romance. Sadly, viewers weren't swept away by this one. Its reception was muted, and it barely registered on the Netflix charts. Of course, I don't foresee this being the streaming service's last stab at creating another smash-hit period drama, so if you enjoyed 'The Lady's Companion' and wanted a second season, something of a similar ilk is bound to come along pretty soon. Seasons: 1Total episodes: 8 'Kaala Paani's' axing feels particularly cruel. The Indian survival-thriller series debuted in October 2023, and a second season was confirmed shortly afterwards. However, earlier this year, reportedly just a few days before production on the follow-up season was due to begin, Netflix opted to cancel the show due to budgetary concerns. If these reports are accurate, this cancellation is quite harsh on both the creative team behind 'Kaala Paani' and the show's fans who were patiently waiting for season 2 to premiere. Seasons: 1Total episodes: 7 Ahead of release, I thought 'The Residence' would be the next big thing on Netflix. It comes from Shonda Rhimes, a Netflix star after helming the uber-popular 'Bridgerton,' and it's a detective mystery in the vein of the 'Knives Out' movie franchise. On paper, that sounded like a recipe for a winner, but instead, the show ended after just one season. At least the core mystery was wrapped up in that single season, but I'd have loved an anthology approach with each season seeing Uzo Aduba's investigator solving a new mystery. Seasons: 1Total episodes: 8 'Grey's Anatomy' will premiere its 22nd season in October, but Netflix's latest attempt to get in on the enduringly popular medical drama craze won't even make it to season 2. 'Pulse' was canned back in July after a single 10-episode run. The show starred the ever-excellent Willa Fitzgerald, and centered on the lives (and loves) of a medical team at a trauma center in Miami. Perhaps all the hype around HBO Max's 'The Pitt' stole 'Pulse's' thunder a little. Seasons: 1Total episodes: 10 Arnold Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro's action-comedy series 'FUBAR' always seemed better suited to the movie format to me, and with poor reviews across its two-season run, I can't say I was very surprised to see it canceled over the summer. The show saw Arnie and Barbaro play a father and daughter who both work for the CIA, unbeknownst to each other. When teamed up on a mission, their father-daughter dynamic causes problems and hilarious hijinks. Seasons: 2Total episodes: 16

Exclusive: Top-Down Horror Soulslike Game Tombwater Details Massive Weapon Arsenal
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 Top-down 2D soulslike games are few and far between, with very few instances of games in the genre getting much attention, but the upcoming Tombwater looks like it could change that. Tombwater is a retro-styled soulslike game – a game genre that typically includes tough combat, limited healing, and lots of dying – published by Midwest Games and developed by Moth Atlas. If you haven't heard of Moth Atlas before, you'll probably at least heard of Yarntown, a "demake" of From Software's Bloodborne created by one of Moth Atlas' developers, Max Mraz. Key artwork for Tombwater showing a Wild West gunslinger facing off against an Eldritch horror of a creature. Key artwork for Tombwater showing a Wild West gunslinger facing off against an Eldritch horror of a creature. Midwest Games The game is set to include a massive map, lots of exploration, fast-paced combat, and all sorts of Wild West Eldritch horrors to face off against. Key to that experience is its arsenal of weapons, which can make or break a soulslike — thankfully, with a trusty pistol at your side and over 50 melee weapons, firearms, spells, passive charms, and more, Tombwater looks to be delivering in combat options. Newsweek can exclusively reveal a host of these combat tools, courtesy of Midwest Games and Moth Atlas, which have provided us with a good look at some of the game's weapons, including descriptions, abilities, and unique weapon arts. You can also watch a brief overview for some of these weapons in the video at the top of the page. Tombwater: Melee Weapons Tombwater gives players access to a host of unique melee weapons, which are a key part of the Gunslinger's arsenal that let players get up close and personal with enemies. These weapons differ in their speed and strength, and some offer unique abilities called weapon arts that can come in clutch in combat situations. Blood Rapier : Blade of an infamous alchemist who sought immortality. Restores a small amount of health on each hit. Weapon art: Employ a life-stealing slash, then quickly backstep. : Blade of an infamous alchemist who sought immortality. Restores a small amount of health on each hit.

Tombwater: Firearms Firearms, as you'd expect, let you take a step back and deal damage from a distance. These, too, often have unique properties and abilities, and between melee weapons and firearms you should be able to tackle just about any situation and take down any weapon.

Tombwater: Spells There are about 40 different spells in Tombwater, each offering a unique effect that helps you in combat. Some of these are more offensive in nature, dealing direct damage, while others are more defensive, binding enemies in place or poisoning them if they get too close.

Fate Bind: Binds nearby enemies to share the caster's date. When hurt, damage received is channeled to bound foes. Tombwater: Charms The final part of a Gunslinger's arsenal is charms, which can be equipped at campfires to gain a variety of passive effects. These can do just about anything — like increasing damage output at the cost of more incoming damage, giving the ability to deflect bullets, and even have you bleed spiders to attack your enemies when wounded. Third Eye Blindfold : Prevents spellcasting if the spell would cause madness : Prevents spellcasting if the spell would cause madness Spiderwound : Bleed spiders when wounded : Bleed spiders when wounded Gambler's Charm : Deal increased damage, but also take increased damage : Deal increased damage, but also take increased damage Bulletbreaker : Allows one to deflect bullets with melee weapons : Allows one to deflect bullets with melee weapons Lucky Bullet: Increases damage when firing the final bullet in your bandolier. No exact release date has been set for Tombwater just yet, but it's set to be released on PC via Steam at some point in 2025. Interested players can check out the game early with a demo on the game's Steam page.
