Moment Dog Feels Owner's Baby Kick For First Time: 'Her Little Smile'
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. 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." Crumble lying on her owner's bump and feeling the baby kicking. Crumble lying on her owner's bump and feeling the baby kicking. @lizzy__west / TikTok 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?"

Best summer cardigans: 19 cardis to shop now and save for autumn
It's common knowledge that us Brits can't leave the house in summer without grabbing a lightweight jacket just in case, but it's the humble cardigan that's been enjoying a summer fashion revival. A cropped cardi styled with a pair of 'Sneakerinas' will achieve the perfect balletcore aesthetic. Layer a slouchy button-down over a cotton maxi dress, and you've got yourself a cottagecore look ideal for holiday evenings. All of which is to say, the cardigan is the unexpectedly cool item in our wardrobe that we shouldn't underestimate. Taylor Swift's Folklore hit, named after the cosy unsung hero, caused searches to soar. Ever since an off-duty Katie Holmes stepped out in her Khaite cardigan, draped off the shoulder with a matching knitted bra, it breathed new life into its sexy appeal, and Jacquemus' micro cardigan won over the likes of Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, helping to secure the thin knit as a summer staple. God knows, even after a heatwave, we'll experience some breezy summer evenings and that lightweight cardigan packed away in your tote bag will come to the rescue. Then, as we head into Autumn, its versatility will continue. Channel the 90s and the decade's unabashed love for the knit, wearing it solo as a top with either a low-slung denim maxi skirt, cargo trousers, or a preppy pleated skirt. You can take Prada and Miu Miu's lead with a corporate, 'office siren' look, layering a half-buttoned cardigan over a simple white vest top and pairing with a pencil skirt. Basically, put those jackets away and embrace your cardigan game this season and next. We've rounded up the best cardigans that will go the distance in your wardrobe.
