Puppy Left Feeling 'So Mad' at New Owners, Reason Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A Hungarian Vizsla puppy has gone viral on TikTok after sulking in an adorably dramatic fashion when told off for biting his dad's hand. Annalee (@otisbegotus), from Georgia, shared a clip of her 12-week-old puppy, Otis, lying flat on his back, visibly upset after being scolded for playful biting. His mood worsened when his pawrents laughed at him. The video struck a chord online, racking up more than 47,000 likes and almost 300,000 views on TikTok. "He sometimes will sulk if we tell him no, but that video was the most dramatic sulk yet. He usually is very playful and happy! His skin is so loose, and he has so many wrinkles that it just makes him look like even more of a grumpy old man when he pouts," Annalee told Newsweek. In the now-viral video, Otis lies limp and unimpressed while his dad, Jake, strokes his leg with a concerned arm around him. When Annalee asks, "Are you mad?", the puppy responds with a pointed side-eye that viewers have called Oscar-worthy. A split image showing Otis the puppy sulking. A split image showing Otis the puppy sulking. @otisbegotus/@otisbegotus According to Annalee, Otis is a clever and affectionate pup who loves to cuddle and be close to his humans. She described him as having a "big personality" and being "very sassy," often responding to their questions with whines and vocalizations. He enjoys playing fetch and starting his day outdoors listening to the birds. The dramatic episode began when Otis was sitting in Jake's lap, nibbling on his hands with his sharp puppy teeth. After being told "no," he stopped immediately—but the playtime cutoff didn't go down well. His pouty face and full-body sulk made it clear he wasn't ready to quit. Despite his theatrical tendencies, Annalee said, Otis is a wonderful companion. "He's such a great pup and we are so lucky to have him. He's going to make a great life companion!" For those dealing with similar puppy antics, charity Dogs Trust advises teaching puppies to stop biting by redirecting their attention to toys, using consistent commands, and ensuring they have plenty of stimulation and rest. Puppies often explore the world with their mouths, but with calm, reward-based training, most grow out of the behavior. Otis's emotional spiral resonated with many dog owners in the comments. "Our viz is almost 7 and he still stomps his feet, strops if we dare go up to bed later than 9pm, and puts his gums up if we don't understand what he's whining to us about. But he is my best friend in the whole world," shared Gem. "Don't you dare laugh at that sweet boy ever again … he's sensitive," added Ashley. A third user wrote: "My puppy was just like this. A simple 'No' sends him into a shame spiral. The benefit is he only needs told no once and he'll never do it again." One Vizsla owner posted: "My older vizsla could tell when you were making fun of her or laughing at her and let me tell you, she did NOT like that."

Mom Lived in House 'For Years'—Discovers What Was in Kitchen the Whole Time
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 mom has gained viral attention after sharing an unexpected discovery in her house on TikTok, and it's blowing people's minds. Just when Brit, who posts under the handle @oodoliedoo, thought she was used to her home's quirks, it gave her another surprise. When her partner noticed the oven's side posts wiggling while vacuuming, his first instinct wasn't delight, it was dread. "This house has been riddled with problems since we moved in," Brit explained in a video. "So he thought something was broken. He went to go check it out." @oodoliedoo Edit: I pinned a video testing the oven heat since it's been mentioned a lot! We still don't know where our water valve shut off is for this place 🥲 #fyp #houseoftiktok #hiddenspaces ♬ Cleaning - Owen Wang Instead, he discovered something far more flavorful: hidden pull-out spice racks flanking both sides of the oven. Perfectly functional and entirely unnoticed. The video, with the caption: "We've lived here for years and just discovered these," quickly caught viral attention with 3 million views since being shared earlier this week, igniting conversation in the comments. Read more Wyoming renter notices foul smell, then finds landlord's "death pit" Wyoming renter notices foul smell, then finds landlord's "death pit" In a comment, Brit explained while her children when small when they moved in, the feature still managed to go unnoticed. "My youngest was a toddler when we moved in! There are just so many other places to play. They only cared about pots and Tupperware if we were in the kitchen." Viewer @user97113723921401 pointed out an important potential issue: "That's a terrible place for spices tho—they'd be continually heated by the stove heat next to it." In response, Brit did what any curious content creator might—she ran a test. "I actually did a video to test this out and nope, heat didn't even touch it," she said. "I actually touched inside the oven part with my hand and it was fine! We also don't use this oven!" While some viewers chimed in with practical ideas. "I have one of these at home! We use it for oils and vinegars etc," said jennajohns0n. While DaisyxDiesel said: "Imagine you found it but you were moving out, I'd be so mad." Others were jealous of the discovery. Like Steph Belton who said: "Not me randomly pulling on things in my house now juuuuust to double check," while Jade wrote: "As someone with 200 spices this is my dream."

This isn't the first time a homeowner has made an unexpected discovery. A Reddit user who lives in a 145-year-old house shared how when they peeled back part of their hallway they uncovered something they weren't expecting—remnants of two archways behind the walls. While a Minnesota homeowner uncovered something amazing in a 1950s-era house when they saw an old key hanging on the basement rafters. While there was no clue what they key opened, it sparked a series of responses, from speculation of treasure to a skeleton key for the house. Newsweek reached out to @oodoliedoo via TikTok for comment.

Passenger Feels Plane Hit Ground When Landing—Then She Sees What Happened
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. Passengers on a flight were unexpectedly soaked in alcohol after a hard landing caused two bottles to break in an overhead bin. The moment was captured in a TikTok video posted by user @ which has amassed over 2.2 million views since it was shared on June 21. The clip shows the aftermath of the mid-air mishap. One woman is seen standing in the aisle, drenched, while the other remains seated with a hoodie pulled over her head, also visibly soaked. Text overlaid on the video reads: "POV [point of view], you fly Rynair [an Irish budget airline]." The caption accompanying the clip adds context, explaining: "The landing hit the ground so hard it broke two bottles of alcohol in the overhead locker and poured all over us but at least the seats were nice and clean." The humorous moment comes amid what the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has described as a "robust and sustained" period for global travel. According to the UNWTO, around 300 million tourists traveled internationally in the first quarter of 2025—14 million more than the same period last year. The agency noted a five percent year-on-year increase in international tourist arrivals, even surpassing pre-pandemic levels by three percent. 'The Inability to Listen' Viewers on TikTok had plenty to say about the messy moment in the viral video. Many placed the blame not on the airline, but on the passenger who improperly stored the alcohol. "POV: you fly with someone who doesn't know how to stow luggage correctly," wrote user Julia Jaworska. Another viewer, @ remarked: "That's why we say that liquids have to go under the seat." Others echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the airline's existing safety protocols. "This is nothing to do with Ryanair. It's the moron passenger that packed the booze," commented a user named Farlow. User @laura_fangirl4 agreed, pointing out "the problem not being the airline but the inability to listen..." User @lifebyklaudia added: "That's why they shouldn't be in overhead lockers." Meanwhile, Jack added: "And that's why it clearly says on the lockers and by the crew all duty free bags must go under seats. There [are] so many electrical components up there and [this] could cause a fire." One commenter, Bethkellet513, simply said: "Sometimes you just got to laugh." The original poster replied: "It was so funny, just felt so bad for everyone." Newsweek has contacted Ryanair via email and the original poster via TikTok for comment.
