Doggy Day-Care Worker Soon Learns Great Dane 'Doesn't Realize' How Big He Is

A giant canine, unaware of his size, hilariously took the doggy day-care worker by surprise when he didn't shy away from getting close.
Despite Great Dane dogs usually standing anywhere between 28 and 36 inches, they often think of themselves as lapdogs. This affectionate breed of canine always wants to be by their owner's side. Or, as a recent TikTok video from @andysdoggydaycare showed, these gentle giants will happily be near any human willing to give them attention, even if it oversteps boundaries.
In a July 10 TikTok video, a doggy day-care worker stood in the middle of the room surrounded by pups, trying to give them all love and attention. Buckley, the Great Dane, started rubbing up against her for pets. Then he started to walk under her legs to ensure she scratched his entire back. However, he didn't calculate that his tall stature would prevent him from fitting. He proceeded anyway.
Buckley's walk swept the employee off her feet; in the clip, the canine "doesn't realize" that his large body would catch her. Buckley took the woman for a quick ride around the room. Laughing the entire way, the employee couldn't believe what just happened.
But, it didn't end there. Buckley managed to give her a ride a second time. He looked unfazed about the situation, gladly stepping into the role of a horse, as the caption called this day care a "rodeo show."
Newsweek reached out to @andysdoggydaycare via TikTok for additional information and comment.

Meanwhile, all the other dogs parted ways when Buckley began carrying the employee on his back. The pups didn't want to get in the way of this horse ride.
As it turns out, this is a common occurrence for Buckley. His owner posted in the comment section: "As Buckley's Dad, I can say that he does this as soon as you get home—it's his way of saying hello. He will also keep doing it until he throws you into a wall or takes you for a ride. I am also not tall."
Viewer Reactions
The TikTok video has amassed over 777,000 views, more than 141,300 likes and 273 comments.
"The way he can just so casually do it has me in stitches," wrote one viewer.
Another posted: "His name is Buckley 'cause you need to buckle up when around him."
A third person commented: "Dog: I am taking you with ME!!"

Paul Heyman Breaks Silence On Seth Rollins' Devastating Injury
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. Paul Heyman has addressed the injury scare surrounding his client, Seth Rollins, which occurred at last weekend's Saturday Night's Main Event. In a new interview, Heyman downplayed the long-term severity of the situation while praising WWE's modern approach to handling injuries. Rollins suffered an apparent knee injury during his match against LA Knight on July 12th. The injury forced a last-second, unplanned change to the finish, with LA Knight picking up a surprise victory. Paul Heyman Downplays The "Big Deal" Speaking to SHAK Wrestling, Paul Heyman was asked about the status of Seth Rollins. The "Wise Man" seemed unconcerned, pointing to the fact that Rollins, as the current Mr. Money in the Bank, has plenty of time to recover. "Seth Rollins has until next June to cash in the Money in the Bank contract," Heyman said. "If his leg fell off in the ring, they would reattach it and he'd heal by next June. So until we're crashing into that deadline, I don't really see the big deal... I also kind of chuckle on the inside about how big of a deal was being made." A More Compassionate WWE Era Heyman used the situation to highlight what he sees as a major positive change in WWE's backstage culture under the new regime. He praised the company's modern medical protocols, which prioritize the long-term health of the talent. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 19: Paul Heyman (L) raises Seth Rollins' hand after his Triple Threat match victory over CM Punk and Roman Reigns during WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on April 19, 2025... LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 19: Paul Heyman (L) raises Seth Rollins' hand after his Triple Threat match victory over CM Punk and Roman Reigns during WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on April 19, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. More"Pro wrestling was behind the times for many years. And you know the whole thing was if you get hurt, if you don't work, you don't get paid," Heyman explained (H/T to "I think it is a far more compassionate look for the longevity of the performer that we do have these protocols in place." He believes the quick action taken by officials during the match prevented a more serious outcome. He stated the protocol "enabled Seth Rollins to get out of the ring with whatever injury he sustained, instead of further aggravating that injury and making it 10 times worse." More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation A Troubling History For Seth Rollins The concern from fans is understandable given Seth Rollins' history with severe knee injuries. In 2015, a devastating tear of his ACL, MCL, and meniscus forced him to vacate the WWE Championship and miss WrestleMania. His history with knee problems makes any new injury to that area a major cause for worry. While there is still no official word on the severity of this latest injury, Heyman's comments suggest that, for now, the plan is for Rollins to heal and eventually use his Money in the Bank contract.

Top AEW Star Expected To Take Time Off: Report
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. Another top AEW star is expected to take time off from the company. Following a storyline write-off on this week's episode of Dynamite, a new report indicates that former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega will be absent from programming for an unknown period. This news comes as AEW is already dealing with a significant "injury bug," with other top stars like Adam Cole, Will Ospreay, and Samoa Joe also currently sidelined. Omega's potential absence would be another major blow to the company's main event scene. July 12, 2025 – Kazuchika Okada strikes Kenny Omega at AEW All In: Texas. July 12, 2025 – Kazuchika Okada strikes Kenny Omega at AEW All In: Texas. Ricky Havlik/AEW The Storyline Write-Off On the July 16th episode of AEW Dynamite, Omega's former manager and bitter rival, Don Callis, cut a promo addressing Omega's recent championship loss to Kazuchika Okada. During the segment, Callis repeatedly and callously referred to Kenny Omega as "dead," signaling a storyline reason for his absence. A subsequent report from Fightful Select confirmed that Omega is indeed expected to take time off. The report noted that the specific reason for his hiatus, and whether it will be a consecutive or sporadic absence, is not yet known. Omega was not present at the Dynamite or Collision tapings this week. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation This news is especially concerning given that Kenny Omega only recently returned from a career and life-threatening battle with diverticulitis. The illness, which is a severe inflammation of the digestive tract, kept him out of action for over seven months. He made his triumphant and emotional return to the ring in June of this year. Since his comeback, Omega has competed in ten matches. His return was seen as a massive boost for AEW, and he was immediately thrust back into the main event picture. This new, unexpected hiatus has fans worried, though it is unknown if it is related to his previous health issues. Another AEW Pillar Sidelined Kenny Omega is a foundational figure in AEW, serving as an Executive Vice President and its second-ever AEW World Champion. He is widely regarded as one of the best in-ring performers of his generation, with a legendary career in both AEW and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. His absence adds to a growing list of top AEW talent currently on the shelf. The company is navigating the recent losses of Adam Cole (concussion), Will Ospreay (banged up), and Samoa Joe (promotional duties for Twisted Metal). With another of its biggest stars now out, AEW faces a significant creative challenge as it builds towards the fall season. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports

Coldplay concert 'kiss cam' moment goes viral when Chris Martin jokes about an affair
A "kiss cam" moment at a Coldplay concert has gone viral after the band's lead singer, Chris Martin, joked about a possible affair. The band was playing a July 16 concert at Gillette Stadium in Boston when a man and woman dancing together during the show were shown on the stadium's Jumbotron. As soon as they realized their faces were on the big screen, the man and woman reacted quickly, with the woman covering her face with her hands and the man ducking out of frame, according to video of the moment posted on TikTok. The video, which now has over 55 million views, shows Martin providing a play-by-play to the audience of the two fans' reaction to being on the Jumbotron. "Oh, look at these two. Alright, come on, you're OK. Uh oh, what," Martin can be heard saying as the fans hide their faces. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure." As video footage of the moment was circulated online, people quickly began trying to identify the man and the woman. Neither the man nor the woman identified online as the people in the video have confirmed their identities. The company where both individuals are reported to work issued a statement Thursday in response to a fake statement circulated online that purported to be from the man who was identified online as the alleged man in the video. 'This is not a real statement," a representative for the company told ABC News, while declining to answer additional questions or confirm the individuals' identities.
