Moment Dog Feels Owner's Baby Kick For First Time: 'Her Little Smile'
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Hearts have well and truly been melted by the adorable moment a dog felt her owner's baby kick for the very first time.
While Lizzy West, 29, was enjoying some downtime on the couch, her sweet pup Crumble couldn't resist joining her for a nap. West, who is currently 24 weeks pregnant, has noticed how much Crumble loves to lie on her stomach now as her baby bump grows.
West, from the U.K., has felt her baby kick countless times, but she explained to Newsweek that the kicks "haven't been strong enough" to feel on the outside—until now.
Crumble was enjoying some well-earned sleep on her owner's belly when she too felt the baby kicking for the first time.
"I had seen other dogs react, so I decided to start recording on my phone and see if she'd notice," West said. "I wasn't sure if she would be able to notice it or not, and she was very sweet but also looked petrified at the same time."

After capturing Crumble's precious reaction, West couldn't resist sharing the footage on TikTok (@lizzy__west). During the video, Crumble's eyes opened when she felt the movements, which jolted her awake. She did look a little uncertain at times, but she was nonetheless very loving.
In the days since the video was shared online, it has delighted internet users and gone viral with over 192,000 views and 5,100 likes at the time of writing.
Crumble, who is a Bichon Frise, Jack Russell, and Cockapoo mix, has always been "very cuddly," but she's become even more so now that West is expecting. In fact, Crumble loves to lay across West's bump or rest her head on it.
It remains unclear how much dogs understand when their owner is pregnant. They may feel movements and sense changes as the American Kennel Club (AKC) explains that they can likely detect a change in scent and hormones, but they might not comprehend what that means.
Dogs have 60 times as many smell receptors as humans do, as the AKC highlights that they can differentiate between 30,000 to 100,000 different scents. Some researchers have suggested that dogs may be able to detect when a woman is pregnant before she even knows due to the changes in her hormones—but that hasn't been proven and remains conjecture.
"We have three dogs and they're all very calm and gentle in nature (although a little jealous). I think they will be amazing big sisters, and I can't wait to watch them grow up together," West told Newsweek.
Internet users have praised Crumble for being so gentle towards West, but that isn't always the case. She certainly looked cute and sweet in the video, but West joked that she still uses her stomach "as a trampoline" at times.
Among the comments on the video, one TikTok user replied: "Her little smile when she realized."
Another person added: "She is also hearing a lot in there."
But not every dog reacts like this, as one comment reads: "Am I the only one with a clueless dog that just tries to stand on my belly?"

Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality.

A set of DEET-free handy mosquito-repelling bracelets for the ultimate in genius warm weather investments — these use essential oils, including citronella, to help stop those teensy vampires in their tracks.

This is the perfect alternative to pricey paint jobs and replacing cookware! A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you.

Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged).

Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth!

E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake.

Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder to absorb oil and blur pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy. ✨ A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper that'll get you uniform, oh-so-satisfyingly cut veggies instead of buying the expensive precut ones at the store.

Top Moments From Love Island UK's Best Season Yet
And just like that, another dramatic season of Love Island UK has come to a close. With season 12 concluding airing on Monday night in the UK — and with 3.4 million viewers worldwide tuning in to watch the finale — it was the most-watched season finale since 2019. And, btw, if you have not finished Season 12 of Love Island UK on Hulu yet... SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!! More so than ever, season 12 was filled with more drama, emotional explosions, and dramatic twists like no other. No season has seen more couple-swapping, drama-filled movie nights, and explosive fights. And we loved every moment of it. Here are our top OMG moments of this year's Love Island UK. This year's standout character of the season was none other than Yasmin Pettet. She was dubbed 'Yas-GPT' by social media users and lovers of the show, thanks to her impeccable posture, perfectly nuanced phrases, and a 'clean-girl aesthetic' that led to rumours that the islander may in fact be a robot in had her fair share of OMG moments this season, including the iconic delivery of 'I'm waiting for you to shut up and kiss me' to Harry Cooksley in the Hideaway, her "no, it was three times actually" remark and the discovery that she has a twin sister, Zara, who soon shot to popularity on TikTok. The Harry, Shakira, And Helena Love Triangle Season 12 runner-ups Shakira Khan and Harry seemed all smiles in the final, but their journey was nowhere near smooth sailing. The pair coupled up early on in the series, before Harry's wandering eyes led him to couple up with Helena Ford. However, this didn't stop the semi-professional footballer from exploring connections with other islanders, leading to an onslaught of criticism towards Helena and her nonchalant reaction as he entertained flirty conversations with several hot the real OMG moment was in the last week of the series, when Harry decided that he still had feelings for Shakira, despite being exclusive with Helena, leading to an explosion of drama around the villa, and the eventual recoupling with Shakira. After weeks of being with Helena, the decision to return to Shakira led to the dumping of Helena, a shocking twist in the pair's love story, but a shot at the winning spot for Harry. Tommy Bringing Back Lucy From Casa Amor Despite the unruly nature of the men in this year's line up, one gem stood out from most, and that was landscape gardener Tommy Bradley. His sweet nature stole the hearts of viewers, and when his partner Megan left him for Conor Phillips, the nation was Tommy coupled up with fellow sweetheart Emily Moran. It seemed smooth sailing for the pair, who avoided drama and matched each other's gentle vibes. It seemed as if Tommy had finally found his was until the shock return of Tommy from Casa Amor, along with Lucy Quinn, leaving Emily single and dumped from the island. It was a truly shocking moment of the season. But that isn't all. In the season finale, it was revealed that Tommy had in fact gone on to disrespect Lucy at his first post-show event by snogging another girl. A double shocker! The surprise return of Blu and Irish Megan The islanders were left shocked after a public vote saw the dumping of popular islander Megan Forte Clarke. But her departure didn't last long. A couple weeks later, a text letting islanders that a pair of bombshells had arrived led to the surprise return of Megan, alongside fellow islander Blu Chegini. This year's Love Island UK boys instilled frustration, fear and anger in female viewers, who tuned in every night to see the constant flirting, disrespect and disregard for their relationships. It was Harrison Solomon, aka Young Bull, who shocked viewers the most, with his actions resulting in more than 1,000 complaints to Offcom for 'misogyny' and 'bullying'. Constantly flicking between eventual winner Toni and his Casa Amor partner Lauren Wood, viewers were left shouting at their screens seeing Harrison get intimate with Lauren, before asking Toni to couple up with him in the next recoupling, to which she did. A moment that shocked the nation and led to thousands of Lauren was dumped, it took just one day for a teary-eyed Harrison to decide to leave the island and go after her, leading to one of the most shocking moments of the season. The big "DIVIDE" This year saw a divide within the villa, with the girls splitting into two opposing groups and a rift that grew as the series progressed. From digs during movie night to girls saying they 'can't stand' each other, the girls and their heated comments left viewers shocked to say the scene that shocked viewers in particular was during movie night, when clips of Meg and Helena making harsh comments about Toni and Shakira were brought to light, nastier than most comments made in previous years. Viewers were quick to head to social media and share their shock over the nasty comments, labelling Meg and Helena as 'mean girls." Meg And Dejon's Final Date And The Return Of The Ex-Islanders Megan Moore and Dejon Noel-Williams were the only couple to officially become boyfriend and girlfriend this season. Despite weeks of fights and making up, the pair dropped the L-bomb and became final date of the season saw all five couples enjoy romantic dinners together. However, this heartfelt moment saw Meg and Dejon spiraling into yet another argument, and the couple sitting in dead silence. The following day, it was down to the dumped islanders to decide who should next leave the villa. Dejon's former flame Andrada Pop then revealed to the islanders that clips from Meg and Dejon's date saw comments from Dejon insinuating the importance of keeping up appearances for the cameras for the pair's is safe to say the islanders were shocked to hear this, and the pair were dumped soon after. New, Steamy Nighttime Romps In previous seasons, the islanders have not been afraid to get physical in the bedroom, with producers happy to show short clips and shots of the action. However, this year, clips of Meg and Dejon left viewers 'disgusted' and gobsmacked that their romps were aired. Viewers have called the scenes 'horrifying', and even threatened to report the scenes to Ofcom after several episodes featured the pair getting frisky under the covers. DRAMA! We've all bumped into an ex at some point or another and wished we could just disappear. Well imagine that happening on the big screen in front of millions. The Love Island producers flipped through their book of mischievous ideas and decided to put lady's man Harry in Casa Amor with no one other than his real life ex girlfriend of three years, Emma Munro. Shock horror! What was your favourite OMG moment from this year's Love Island UK? Let us know in the comments below! And remember, you can catch up on every episode of Love Island UK now only on Hulu!
