Terrified dogs tried to warn family something terrible was about to happen....moments later, it did
The viral footage showed the family enjoying a Father's Day lunch at their home in Peru when the canines began to bark and rushed to the home's door entrance.
A woman stood from her seat at the table and followed the dogs to the door, perhaps thinking that a visitor was knocking.
One of the dogs continued to the bark as the she stood by the door and then opened it.
A male at the table could be seen urging everyone to remain calm before they all walked towards the exit. Suddenly the home began to shake violently for about four seconds as the earthquake arrived.
The tremor rattled Lima, the capital, and the port city of Callao, Peruvian authorities said.
Its epicenter was located 18.6 miles southwest of Callao, according to the Geophysical Institute of Peru.
The institute's chief, Hernando Taveras, told America Noticias in a May 2023 interview that dogs were capable to detecting earthquakes before their human companions.
'Before the earthquake releases its energy, the rocks [underground] begin to fracture and generate a high-frequency noise that the human ear cannot perceive, but dogs can,' he explained.
'Some dogs get very nervous, are restless, bark to get attention, go up and down íhe stairs,' said local veterinarian Tania Ramirez. 'But other dogs have a more serene personality and, although they feel the vibrations, they do not show any concern.
Additional video footage captured a landslide near a road and a beach while parishioners fled the Lima Cathedral during the middle of a mass.
The tremor killed Jhonatan Ventura, 36, after a set of bricks fell from the exterior wall of a fourth floor that was being added to a residence in the Lima district of Independencia.
The Health Ministry said that earthquake injured 35 people. As of Monday, 25 victims remained hospitalized across several hospitals in Lima.
It also reported damages to 14 medical facilities and 13 schools.
The Geophysical Institute of Peru has detected 398 earthquakes in 2025, including 29 during June.
Sunday's earthquake comes 55 years after the worst tremor in the history of Peru rattled the city of Yungay.
The May 31, 1979, tremor killed at least 70,000 people and injured more than 140,000.

I was stalked & attacked by a man who didn't fit the ‘profile' – he was good looking with a good job & a girlfriend
WHEN Leigh Collins was woken up to her dogs barking in the middle of the night, she assumed it was her ex-boyfriend messing around. It was 3am and as Leigh sat down on the couch to calm her dogs, she noticed a dark figure lurking in the hallway. 3 3 "I saw a silhouetted figure just kind of peek in and then peek out," she explains. "Which is a nightmare, then it was like my brain started convincing myself that it was my ex-boyfriend. "He had a key, we had gotten into a fight that day and so I was talking myself out of it being what it was." Trying to convince herself the situation wasn't as bad as it seemed, she decided to look around each room in the apartment. Leigh checked the hallway, the front room, and dining room and found nothing. But as she walked to the kitchen, she found a man pressed against the wall holding one of her kitchen knives. Speaking on the From Now On podcast, Leigh said an inner voice took over telling her what to do. She stood and stared at the attacker, making sure to get every detail of what he looked like before she made a run for her escape. But he soon caught up with her in the living room and held her against the wall with a knife asking for money. Leigh recalled how he was acting tense, and asked if she had a boyfriend coming back, she lied and said yes. The attacker quickly called her bluff and relaxed, knowing no one was going to disturb him. He walked Leigh over to her bedroom, somewhere she knew she didn't want to be with him, so she told him cash was in the guest bedroom. 3 Once she handed the money over, he asked what else she had to offer, and she realised he wasn't there for a robbery. He soon took her to the bedroom again and began to sexually assault her, Leigh says her life and her future played like a film in her mind. She added: "You know people say when you're in a near-death experience that you'll have a flash of your life, mine was a flash to my future. "I think it was my brain's way to show me I had something to fight for." The intruder then climbed onto the bed with Leigh and she could tell he was enjoying her fear, as he moved closer, he took the knife off her throat and she saw it as her opportunity to fight back. FIGHTING BACK First she screamed for help, before he straddled her and began beating her and trying to stab her. Leigh hit back, and she was able to get her legs from underneath him and kick him off the bed. She soon noticed some of her fingers were almost cut off from her hand and her energy soon shifted to rage as she saw the damage he had done. Screaming, she beat him and told him she would kill him unless he got out the house. I wanted to share some qualities about him that I found surprising and also say, always trust your intuition. Leigh Collins While he initially fought back, he soon got up and fled and Leigh was able to call the police for help. Three days later, Rashad Devon Harris, was arrested, and police discovered he had been stalking Leigh for years. Last year, Rashad was sentenced to life in prison and Leigh, who has made a full recovery from her injuries, advocates for victims on social media. HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT In a recent clip, she warned women to be careful and to trust their gut instinct, claiming her intruder didn't follow the usual stereotypes of this type of criminal activity. She said: "I wanted to share some qualities about him that I found surprising and also say, always trust your intuition. I don't remember meeting the man who stalked me, but I know I must have." Leigh first said that unlike most people who commit sexually motivated crimes, he was good-looking, had a girlfriend, a good job and even a support network of family and friends. "He was hiding in plain sight," she added. "These guys can compartmentalize and they're incredibly manipulative." Leigh went on to say that you should always pay attention to your intuition, rather than what the typical archetype is for dangerous people. "I could feel the emptiness from him. And it scared me. Not just from the way he behaved, not just from his eyes or the way he looked," she explained. "The feeling of him was that there was a shell and inside there was nothing. if you get a feeling like that from someone, that chill up and down your spine, pay attention to that. "More than paying attention to what the typical archetype of someone like this is."

Rail bosses given ‘criminal offence' warning over fare dodger prosecutions
Train company bosses have been warned by the Government they could be breaking the law if they allow unqualified staff to prosecute alleged fare dodgers. A Department for Transport memo sent to operators states it is a 'criminal offence' to let non-lawyers act as prosecutors in court cases with passengers accused of not buying the correct ticket. The use of these lay prosecutors in those circumstances is not legal, the advice warns. There have been a series of high-profile cases in which passengers faced prosecution over small amounts of money. In one example, a passenger was threatened with court action for accidentally selecting a 16-25 railcard ticket when they held a 26-30 railcard, which provides the same discount. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has written to train operators stating that 'any enforcement must be proportionate and not punish those making genuine mistakes'. She added: 'It is your responsibility to ensure that you are adequately protecting revenue in a cost effective but lawful way.' The Cabinet minister said she accepted the recommendations of regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), which included creating consistency in how passengers are treated when ticket issues arise, and ensuring passengers have clearer information about tickets. Industry body the Rail Delivery Group has estimated that fare dodging creates £350 million to £400 million in lost revenue each year. A Government source said: 'Fare evasion costs the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and dents confidence in our railway, so we're dead serious about tackling it. 'But enforcement must be proportionate. We can't have operators going after an older person faced with an incomprehensible system, or a student who has made an honest mistake. 'We're asking train companies to make sure they are prosecuting fare dodgers properly the first time. 'We'll set out our full response to the ORR report in due course, and Great British Railways will simplify fares and ticketing – restoring a railway the public can be proud of again.' The Government is bringing operators into public ownership as contracts expire. GBR is an upcoming public sector body that will oversee Britain's rail infrastructure and train operation.

For once Channel 4 has produced a brilliant drama
British women caught drug smuggling abroad tend to be of a certain type, if the news stories are anything to go by: 20-somethings with a better understanding of Snapchat filters than the penalties for drug trafficking, too dim to realise that extending a holiday from Ibiza or Thailand to Lima or Tbilisi might look the teeniest bit suspicious. But In Flight (Channel 4), a propulsive new thriller, chooses a different kind of protagonist. Jo (Katherine Kelly) is a hard-working flight attendant. Her world falls apart when her 19-year-old son is jailed in Bulgaria for a crime he swears he didn't commit, and two heavies turn up at her house to tell her that they will arrange for him to meet a grisly fate in prison unless she agrees to become a drugs mule. 'If you refuse our proposal, we'll kill your son. If you go to the police, we'll kill your son. If you talk to a lawyer, your boss, a friend, we'll kill your son. If you do anything other than exactly what we tell you to do, we'll kill your son.' Put this way, Jo doesn't look to have many options. What follows are six episodes of stress and suspense as she tries to escape from the trap. Cabin crew are unlikely to come under suspicion, so Jo is a canny choice. Most mules, she is told, get caught because they travel too often, they travel too light and they look guilty. On her first run, Jo is terrified, but before you can say 'Peru Two' she's become a dab hand at it. At the same time, she's desperate for a way out, enlisting the help of an old flame (Ashley Thomas), an ex-police officer who works for the Border Force. Six episodes of Jo becoming increasingly miserable or hysterical wouldn't make a great series, so writers Adam Randall (Slow Horses) and Mike Walden (Marcella) give her character inner reserves. Her immediate goals are to save her son from harm and turn the tables on her tormentors. Cormac (Stuart Martin) is the Northern Irish gangster who puts the frighteners on Jo. As luck would have it, he's pretty hot. Can you see where this storyline might go? If you're being threatened by someone from a murderous drugs cartel, it does soften the blow when they're handsome and the rendezvous can take place over drinks in the plush bar of a Bangkok hotel. Channel 4 doesn't have a great track record when it comes to drama, but this one is a cut above their usual fare and could sit just as happily on ITV primetime or Netflix. Although Netflix would definitely have thrown some more money at it – the production values are a bit cheap and dreary. For a series set in various international locations, you never get the sense that it's being filmed anywhere other than a cold European country. Kelly is great in the lead role, playing an ordinary person caught in an extraordinary situation. On the one hand, she's engaged in this high-stakes, life-or-death mission; on the other, she's maintaining a facade and joking around with colleagues (Ambreen Razia, as fellow flight attendant Zara, brings just the right note of normality). I'm sure we could nitpick about how likely all of this is – why don't the airport sniffer dogs find Jo out? – but just enjoy it for what it is: a lean and effective thriller.
