Dog Trying To Scare Owner Every Time She Goes Downstairs Delights Internet
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 viral video showing how a dog playfully scares her owner every time she comes down the stairs instantly brightened people's timelines. A game of hide and seek isn't just entertainment for children; dogs cannot get enough of the thrill. An article from Wag Walking stated that hide and seek is a great exercise for both a dog's body and brain, stimulating their instincts, strengthening recall behavior, and reinforcing scent-tracking ability. But Luna, the Shar-pei, slightly altered the rules and turned the game into a daily routine every time her owner, who is known on TikTok as @ashleighgriffen8, comes downstairs. Instead of taking turns, Luna hides every time, but becoming impatient, the seek part of the game is cut short. As soon as she hears the owner's footsteps, Luna gets into position, hiding around the corner at the bottom of the stairs. In an August 7 TikTok video, Luna slowly poked her head out, checking how close her owner was. She carefully timed it and then leaped out to "scare" her owner. Newsweek reached out to @ashleighgriffen8 via TikTok for additional information and comment. The dog hopped with excitement as she completed another scare. Unable to sit still after the thrill of the game, zoomies took over. Her body wiggled and her tail wagged. The owner assured viewers in the comment section that, despite knowing this happens every time, she still pretends to be shocked. Soaking up these precious moments together, she shared how this daily routine makes her day. The text on the clip reads: "The money I would pay to have this forever." Viewer Reactions With over 4.3 million views and 1.1 million likes on TikTok as of Tuesday, people fell in love with Luna, confirming they, too, became startled by her jump scare. They called the owner "rich" for having this daily bonding moment with her dog. "They're literally permanent toddlers that adore you forever," a viewer wrote, while a second person commented: "My heart literally just melted. This has got to be the best feeling in the world." Another added: "This must be a shar-pei thing. My doggo does this too." Someone else chimed in: "She's just a lil prankster." Screenshots from an August 7 TikTok video of a Shar-pei dog hiding around the corner until her owner comes downstairs and she attempts to "scare" her.

Dog Devastated as Sibling Dies—Tears at What He Still Does 5 Months Later
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 video of a dog using a specific, tiny bed, five months after his sibling passed, left viewers sobbing. Archer, a yellow Labrador, and 15-pound rescue dog Niko were inseparable, with everyone referring to the duo as "The Boys," their owner, Natalie, told Newsweek. From the moment she brought home Archer, Niko took him under his wing. The two stuck together like glue. "Despite the size difference, Niko was definitely the boss," she said. "He had a huge personality and was the one who taught Archer everything. Even protecting him at the dog park." In March of this year, Niko passed at age 12, leaving the family devastated, especially Archer. The only way Archer could find comfort would be through items that smell like Niko—blankets, beds, his old dog leash. She shared in a July 16 TikTok video on her account @thebetchreport how five months after the dog's passing, Archer still uses Niko's bed. He doesn't care that his large body is much too big for the tiny bed; Archer curls up on it every night. Screenshots from a July 16 TikTok video of a yellow Labrador curling up on a tiny bed every night after his doggy sibling passed.

"Because of this, we haven't washed any of Niko's items so that Archer can still feel close to him." Because of the emotional attachments canines form, they can experience grief when someone they love, including other pets, passes away, according to the American Kennel Club. However, they may not fully comprehend the concept of death. They, instead, might believe their loved one is missing. Dogs can exhibit one or more symptoms of grief, including withdrawal from people and pets, lack of appetite, lethargy, unusual aggression or destructive behaviors, searching for a companion dog, increased vocalization or becoming clingy. These signs should not be punished harshly. Owners should reassure their dogs with love and praise. "He didn't just lose his brother, he lost his best friend and the one who taught him everything he knows," Natalie said. Heartbroken, TikTok users flooded the video with their hopes that Archer heals, and as of Tuesday, the clip reached over 577,000 views. "Animals mourn too. Rip, little guy. Sorry for your loss," wrote one viewer. Another commenter recommended: "Don't wash it. Let his brother smell the memories." Natalie shared in the comment section that she believes Archer especially missed his brother in this moment, noting how sad he looked. Otherwise, he still wags his tail and is adjusting to a new normal without his brother. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Don't snoop through your partner's phone. Learn to sleuth instead
Put yourself in Emma's shoes: You're scrolling on your phone and get a text notification that says, 'Hey girly, your boyfriend said you guys would have a threesome with me, and I think he didn't tell you about that.' Would you (a) ignore the message or (b) look through his conveniently unattended phone? If you chose (b), don't feel too bad. Nearly 30% of American adults say it's at least sometimes acceptable to look through a significant other's phone without permission, according to a Pew Research Center survey. 'I have looked through many of my partners' phones, and I definitely have quite a few stories,' said Emma, who didn't want to include her last name to protect her privacy. An age-old debate surrounding phone snooping has been revived by the July breakup between JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez, stars of the 2024 season of the reality dating show 'Love Island USA.' 'Discovering that someone you loved isn't who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn't been genuine since day one has been truly devastating,' Craig wrote in an Instagram story post confirming the split. Craig's friend then took to Instagram to advise other women in relationships to 'go thru your mans phone TODAY' if they had access. (Craig and Rodriguez haven't confirmed the more specific details of their breakup.) Searching through someone's phone may not be aligned with a person's character and values, but they might have valid suspicions and no other way find the truth — so they look. Doing so may turn out to be fair game when you learn incriminating information, according to divorce lawyer Dennis R. Vetrano, who is also a mediator and content creator based in New York's Hudson Valley. Not so much to this psychologist. 'In general, I think that invading another person's private space — whether it's snooping on their phone, reading their personal journal, or invading their physical space — is unethical without their permission,' said Dr. Cortney Warren, board certified clinical psychologist and adjunct clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Snooping also can be illegal, depending on privacy laws in your state or other jurisdiction, so it's not advised that you go through your partner's phone, according to Vetrano. But is such snooping even necessary anymore? With so much out in the public sphere online, do you really need to snoop? Why not replace snooping with sleuthing? Do you need to look through a partner's phone? The easy answer is no. While snooping is considered a breach of privacy because you're searching for information someone hasn't given you permission to access, with sleuthing you're working with information that's available in an online public space. And so many people are online: Seventy percent of American adults are on Facebook, 50% on Instagram, and 33% on TikTok, according to a 2024 survey. Sleuthing is easier these days with the creation of websites that can locate dating profiles, apps that track location, and most notably, social media platforms that allow you to see everyone who a person follows and the content they like. It's all there for anyone to mine. That was the case with Emma. 'I had already been kind of suspicious of this boyfriend for a while,' Emma said. 'So I was sleuthing through (his) TikTok following, and it was just girl after girl after girl of those OnlyFans models and anime cosplayers that, you know, cosplay minor characters in very inappropriate ways.' Is sleuthing OK to do? 'Technology is out there to track everything that you do, so I think the question — is it the right thing to do — is really something that we have to center on,' said Dr. Angela Corbo, a professor and chair of the department of communication studies at Widener University in Chester, Pennsylvania. As far as Emma was concerned, going through her previous partners' social media followings was justified because she was accessing public information and she ended up finding evidence of behavior she didn't like. 'I had been very straight up with my partners, and I don't like (them) following OnlyFans models because honestly, it was kind of embarrassing when everybody can see that your partner is liking photos and sharing weird adult content videos publicly,' she said. When it comes to social media, people can formulate an image of what another person is like based on who they follow and the content with which they interact. 'I think social media is a great way of getting an idea without waiting for someone to show you, or without having to break someone's boundaries and invade their privacy,' said Diana Prime, a relationship coach on Instagram and TikTok. 'If someone has adult-rated content, if they're following OnlyFans models, that is enough to not continue a relationship with that person because it gives you an insight to what they do.' Is snooping through someone's phone still wrong? Yes, Warren said. Snooping is also a sign of other troubles, such as not respecting your partner, Prime said. In that case, you're 'not going to think twice about invading their privacy.' Generally, sleuthing 'is different in the sense that the material online is often public — so the deceptive element of violating a partner's personal boundaries is less pronounced,' said Warren, author of 'Letting Go of Your Ex: CBT Skills to Heal the Pain of a Breakup and Overcome Love Addiction.' Think of it like this: Say you're sitting beside a partner and happen to glimpse a notification on their phone. 'You've done nothing wrong,' Corbo said. 'I think it's when you go behind somebody's back to retrieve information that they're not giving you permission for — I think that's when a violation has occurred.' You're already in breakup territory if you're feeling like your partner's behavior leaves you no other option but to snoop. 'That's a deeper-rooted problem that will lead to bigger issues down the road, and that's enough to walk away from someone, because what happens when you find information by snooping is that you hurt your own feelings times 10,' she said. 'It will do you more damage to snoop through that person's phone than to honor your own intuition about something being off,' Prime added. 'What within you wants to play things out, versus just trusting yourself the first time?' If your ex-partners have treated you badly and you're regularly suspicious of a partner who hasn't given you a reason to be, Corbo suggested evaluating your feelings and considering the evidence before you assume the worst.
