Golden Retriever Becomes the Star of Grandma's Sleepover — Backpack and Hat Included (Exclusive)
Wally, a 4-year-old golden retriever, has become an internet favorite thanks to his big emotionsNEED TO KNOW Julia Moriggi, 34, and her fiancé got Wally, a golden retriever, when he was an 8-week-old puppy Now 4, Wally has become an internet favorite thanks to his big emotions — both joyful and heart-wrenching Recently, Moriggi shared a video of Wally arriving to a sleepover at his grandma's, which went viral and amassed over 7 million viewsWally, a 4-year-old golden retriever, has become an internet favorite thanks to his big emotions — both joyful and heart-wrenching. His mom, Julia Moriggi, 34, and her fiancé have had Wally since he was just an 8-week-old puppy. The couple has always loved golden retrievers, and in 2020, they decided to buy a house after their landlord told them they couldn't have a dog. Realizing life is short, they committed to doing whatever it took to make their dream of having a golden puppy come true. Since then, their lives have never been the same. Their world now revolves around Wally and they wouldn't have it any other way. They've even created a social media account for him on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, where hundreds of thousands of followers tune in to watch Wally share his big feelings through strikingly human-like facial expressions. 'He is a very special dog that has touched the lives of so many people,' Moriggi tells PEOPLE exclusively. 'He is extremely intelligent and intuitive, and we've caught him on camera seemingly fully understanding what we are saying. He is truly a one-of-a-kind dog." When Moriggi and her fiancé travel and Wally can't tag along, he stays with his beloved grandma and grandpa — Moriggi's parents. While he sometimes spends several days with them, his most recent visit was just an overnight stay. Before his latest sleepover, Moriggi packed Wally's little backpack with his favorite toys, food and treats. At her mom's house, she says Wally has his own bed, and grandma always goes the extra mile, making sure there's a new toy or treat waiting for him when he arrives. 'They're the only ones who watch him, and they get so excited when he comes to visit,' Moriggi says. 'They truly treat him like their grandchild.' 'He is obsessed with her,' the product analyst and creator adds. 'Whenever he sees her, he absolutely loses his mind. He loves her so much, but I think she might love him even more. She'll literally pet him for hours, so he knows when he sees her, he's about to get a lot of love (and snacks).' After getting Wally's things ready, Moriggi loaded him into the car and headed off to her parents' house, about an hour away from their home in Boston. As the family got closer, she says Wally smelled where they were going and started bouncing around in the backseat, eager to get out. Once they arrived and parked, Moriggi got Wally out of the car and dressed him in his little backpack and hat, hoping to to surprise grandma with how cute he looked. As they made their way to the door, Moriggi pulled out her phone and began filming the moment. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'When grandma opened the door, he ran inside, said hi to grandpa, and immediately found the present waiting for him,' Moriggi recalls. 'He knew exactly where to look because she always has one waiting. He grabbed the whole bag and ran around showing it off to everyone, which was the best part of the video. It's a ritual every time we visit or she comes to our house.' "The hat and backpack started falling off as he got more and more excited,' she says. 'It made the video a little chaotic and so funny.' Later, Moriggi shared the sweet moment online, where it quickly went viral, racking up 7.7 million views and 3,700 comments as of Monday, Aug. 4. What's your sign?

"The backpack and bucket hat 😭 he's the cutest little toddler omg," another wrote. Someone else said, "He's so happy he literally doesn't know what to do with himself ☺️🤗." For the dog mom, it's always exciting when a video goes viral, especially when it features Wally and his grandma. Although the duo has had a few viral moments together, Moriggi says her mom still finds it 'so crazy' and is amazed when people recognize her.

'People also share that Wally reminds them of their dogs who have passed away, and they include a little story about them. These comments always bring me to tears.' "Another comment that kept showing up on this video was, 'This is how all animals deserve to be treated and loved,' and that one really hit because it is so true,' Moriggi adds. 'People were also saying they want to be Wally, or come back in their next life as him. They also wondered if they could be adopted into our family or go visit grandma themselves, which always makes us laugh." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Stephen Colbert is just the latest in a long line of CBS hosts to bite the dust
Network stars 'left' to wither CBS. Columbia Broadcasting System. Being nicknamed: Cannot Be Sustained. It's financial problems. It got stuck with a Donald Trump lawsuit over Kamala. Settled for $16 mil. It's ratings struggles. Staff trimming. Cost cutting. Had a squabble with YouTube TV. Obama's probably already discussed it with Russia. There's now a body count with whom they've played musical chairs. Knocked off — if not out — Norah O'Donnell unseated. How about Charlie Rose, Paula Zahn, Letterman, James Corden, Katie Couric, Bianna Golodryga who went to CNN, Connie Chung? Some morning hosts have been vaporized. Advertisement Listen, the drums are even beating for Gayle King whom we all love more than the Statue of Liberty. We're talking the once home of 'the most trusted man in America' Walter Cronkite. It was Dan Rather, a Peabody Award, '60 Minutes,' 'Blue Bloods,' Andy Griffith, 'Green Acres,' 'Hogan's Heroes.' Latest lurch was vaporizing lefty Stephen Colbert. Even Jay Leno — whose own talk show on NBC had ground on since Thomas Jefferson played potsy with that mistress — weighed in saying semi nice things about Colbert. He was able. Did a good job. But just not exactly my cup because even my car doesn't turn left. Advertisement One misery is that nobody but repairmen watch network stuff anymore. All's the same. Everyone blond. Each female's hair hangs down either one side or both to the crotch. They read pre-printed words. Some mispronouncing the country as Eye-rack. Many of us have actually been there. Worked there. And in between bombing and hunger and terrifying reports they're boring. It's cooking lessons. Or political correctness gone nuts.

Seemed to overlook that Donald is now PRESIDENT. What lump did he want to see sitting in charge? The ex-bartender with the hair's center part and three AOC initials? Bernie Sanders whose spit reaches to the Middle East? Ventriloquist Jill who wants to be called 'doctor' but whose lone patient quivers in the basement? Advertisement Think. Letterman? Cranky. But not hatred. He would book O'Reilly and maneuver his zingers but demean nobody. Leno's show on NBC? Stand-up comic. Not into political peeing. His successor Fallon once rumpled Donald's hair. Kimmel? No. Watch. ABC's next to corral the extremists. Fast lane living So let me tell you about my lovely summer New York day. A friend drove me to her place upstate. Coming home? A hired car. Stopped dead — dead — a doornail was less dead — in the middle of the bumper-to-bumper crowded highway. Gone. Went to heaven — or in my case hell — middle of the multilane highway. Brakes screeching. Horns honking. Drivers cursing. 'I fix,' said the driver in Urdu or whateverthehell language. I'm perspiring in a no-air-conditioning back seat. Forget chatting with my driver who has now jacked up our vehicle with my behind higher than Mt. Rushmore. Can't crawl out because I'll be hit by some car racing to get home. Eventually he's back, perspired, and says, 'No fix.' Advertisement Nice. Cops by now surround my car and want to know what I'm doing there. l also want to know what I'm doing there. Fortunately they recognized me, put me in a cop car and took me someplace where I could climb into another vehicle — that actually moved — to take me home. East Side, West Side, all around the town — unless you're coming from upstate. Listen, I'm not one to complain about my original driver. I only say that if we'd been in the Middle East, we'd have come home on a dented camel. Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

Kylie Jenner Embraces Summer's Wildest Flip-Flops
Love it or loathe it, it's undeniably the summer of flip-flops. The humble beach shoe, favored for its simplicity and ease, has been trending in a more high-fashion context this season. Suddenly, there are now celebrities wearing $750 The Row flip-flops with bright red soles, or flip-flops with sky-high platforms that are totally reminiscent of the '90s. The sandal has become less about something you wear to take a quick dip in the ocean, and more about making a bold statement. Naturally, Kylie Jenner is embracing the latter: She just posted an Instagram 'fit pic in which she is rocking one of the wildest flip-flops on the market. 'The energy I'm bringing to my shoot today,' Jenner captioned her selfie, in which she is rocking a death-defying pair of ERL clunkers. Coming in with a staggering 5-inch platform, the $375 style requires serious balancing skills, and instantly commands an outfit. Jenner styled them with a black bra top and athletic track pants, allowing them to be the focal point. (I mean, the supersized shoes are hard to miss.)
