Rescue Dog Obsessed With Laundry Baskets Wins Pet of the Week

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 week of pet videos carried us into a new month, which just so happens to be National Dog Month. And what better way to honor these furry companions than by highlighting pets from our readers? These dogs, while sometimes getting into trouble, bring a smile to their owners' face daily. They are a crucial piece to their family tree. If you wish to feature your pet in Newsweek's Pet of the Week, follow the instructions at the end of this article to get involved. Winner Photos of Laina resting in a basket; and looking up at the camera through a trolley. Photos of Laina resting in a basket; and looking up at the camera through a trolley. Patti Generale Laina, a rescue hound, instantly captured our hearts with her silly habits that helped brighten her owner's day, earning her spot as this week's winner. Owner Patti Generale told Newsweek via email that Laina is obsessed with laundry baskets. There is no rhyme or reason for it, but you can almost always find her sitting in one. Otherwise, you might see her cozying up next to you if you have food. She is a "very food-motivated" dog. Generale said: "She brought us a lot of joy." Finalists Photos of two 7-year-old Cavachons dogs at home. Photos of two 7-year-old Cavachons dogs at home. Vicki Peacock Our first finalist for this week comes from owner Vicki Peacock's two Cavachons—a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and the bichon frisé mix. Peacock originally wanted a boy dog, but after seeing one female pup, she couldn't resist getting her, she told Newsweek via email. Now, she has Harvey and Coco, who are from the same litter. These two 7-year-old dogs are sweet-natured; however, they tend to get into mischief. "Harvey is the leader and thinks he is much bigger than he is, but they are very sweet and gentle and love to make friends," Peacock said. Otherwise, they enjoy cuddle sessions and their quiet time. They have been nothing but great company for Peacock, who lives alone, making her laugh every day, she said. Photos of Daisy, a 1-year-old rottsky dog, resting at home.

Karen Garcia Next up, we have a 1-year-old dog named Daisy, whom owner Karen Garcia likes to call a "Rotten Rottsky" due to her mischievous personality. This rottsky and Siberian husky mix came from an unexpected litter, Garcia told Newsweek. "She has a unique, dominating, mischievous personality that's humorous at times," she said. Photos of a 1-year-old French bulldog named Pierre playing outside. Photos of a 1-year-old French bulldog named Pierre playing outside. Jamie High Last, but not least, is a French bulldog named Pierre, whom the owner cannot thank enough for bringing joy into every day. The owner, Jamie High, told Newsweek that Pierre is nearing 1 year old. And as a pup, he is constantly getting into something. He can be a "handful," but that's what makes Pierre, Pierre. "He helped me through a very tough time in my life, and I'm grateful every day," High said. "I wouldn't change a thing about him!" If you think your pet could be next week's Newsweek "Pet of the Week," send us your funny and heartwarming videos and pictures of your pet, along with a bit about them, to life@ and they could appear in our "Pet of the Week" lineup.

Ralph Lauren's Oak Bluffs collection celebrates historic Black beach community

Cricket sweaters, patchwork blanket, and distressed baseball caps. Each is part of the new collection called Polo Ralph Lauren for Oak Bluffs, celebrating the historically Black community of Oak Bluffs in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The collection is an evolution of the 2022 collection based on Historically Black Colleges Morehouse and Spelman, who are again partners in the Oak Bluffs collection, and is a part of the company's "Design with Intent" portfolio. "Ralph Lauren as a man, as a brand is sort of the world ambassador to Americana," James Jeter, Creative Director for Polo Men's at Ralph Lauren told USA TODAY. "With that comes this incredible responsibility for us to tell these incredible American stories as fully, as broadly, as accurately as possible." The collection deftly weaves HBCU campus style drawn from Morehouse and Spelman with resort wear that references the historic Black beach town and Black traditions. "It was just very important to tell that story, the multi-faceted, multi-dimensional experience that is the Black experience that also translates into the American experience," Dara Douglas, Product and Brand Lead for Design with Intent, told USA TODAY. It is accompanied by a documentary on the community directed by Cole Brown titled "A Portrait of the American Dream: Oak Bluffs" that debuted on the brand's YouTube page on July 24. "Oak Bluffs' unique history, traditions and sense of community deeply inspire me and speak to what we are all searching for – a place where you can be free, uncontrived, joyful and truly at home," Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of the eponymous preppy stalwart, said in a July 23 press release. Historically Black beach community celebrated by Ralph Lauren Oak Bluffs was once a part of nearby Edgartown and was deemed to be the place "suitable" for Black workers at nearby resorts, according to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Oak Bluffs community envisioned by the collection started in earnest when Charles Shearer opened Shearer Cottage in 1912, according to The Root. The Black news outlet described the inn as, "an act of defiance in an America riddled with discrimination and racial segregation, where safe lodging for Black travelers was a rare luxury." "So by default really, Oak Bluffs becomes the place ... for young, educated, affluent African Americans—the politicians and the movie stars." Dr. Elaine Weintraub, historian and co-founder of the Martha's Vineyard African American Heritage Trail, told the Trust. At the heart of Oak Bluffs, according to the Root, is a beach called the Inkwell that served as a place where, "Black folks could swim, sunbathe, and just be, without getting side-eyed or harassed." Weintraub described vacationers to the Inkwell, Shearer Cottage, and Oak Bluffs throughout the decades as a "who's who" including Madame C.J. Walker, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., actress Ethel Waters, and singer Lionel Richie. "Well, I think perhaps I should say what you I think are aware of. Our people are deeply mystical, you might say spiritual and we have a an appreciation for place," Dr. Lawrence E. Carter Sr., the Dean of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel, said in the documentary. "How Martha's Vineyard became Martha's Vineyard has an awful lot to do with traffic, who came through here and by coming through here bequeathed something." Dorothy West, the youngest member of the Harlem Renaissance, said of Oak Bluffs, "I thought there was always summer here" in an interview published by the Martha's Vineyard Museum Oral History Channel. "I think historically it has represented a place where African Americans could be successful, could be around other African-Americans, could share in a culture and a place in the sun and that they'll own and that they'll belong," Weintraub said. Oak Bluffs still holds that same significance today. Netflix's show "Forever", released in March, showcased this on an episode titled "The Vineyard", allowing viewers to see the vibrance and richness that still exists in Oak Bluffs. Oak Bluffs collection intends to broaden view of Black experience The 2022 collection was described by Jeter as a "period piece" that drew from the ephemera of Morehouse and Spelman, of which Jeter and Douglas are alumni, from 1920's to the 1960's. "You'll notice that there's this kind of decorum (in the 2022 collection). We leaned a little bit into politics of respectability, which really started such an incredible conversation," Jeter said. He added that imagery for the collection's campaign was "intentionally less serious" and leaned into a multi-generational interpretation of summers on the shore. "Quite frequently people think of the output that comes from the Black experience, whether it's through entertainment, through sports. So you constantly see the Black body in motion, but this notion of rest and relaxation as a space that the black body could occupy I think is quite revolutionary," Douglas said. The collection comes as companies have backed away from concepts labeled DEI following pressure from the Trump administration and other right-wing forces. Jeter and Douglas both pointed to the collection as a part of the company's commitment to widening the brand's view of what is included in "Americana," with James saying "we intended to stick to that." "We are the leaders. So we look not outside of ourselves, but we look toward our purpose to be the guiding light to the kind of stories that we tell," James said. "The hope is that other corporations or other folks see us as an example."
