Owner Wonders What Dog Does Home Alone—Instant Tears When She Watches Cam
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
The guilt of leaving your dog at home, even if only to run a quick errand, will eat away at an owner's heart, but one pet parent felt relief when she checked the camera.
Owner Aaliyah told Newsweek via TikTok that she rescued a chow chow dog over a year ago. These canines are known for their fluffy coat and unique black tongues, a PetMD article stated. And while they're usually independent and timid around new humans, they're fiercely loyal, almost to a fault. These dogs often experience separation anxiety and attachment issues.
Aaliyah always worried about her dog, Narla, and what she did while home alone, especially knowing Narla has some attachment issues. But she finally felt at ease when she installed a pet camera in their new home and could check in on Narla.
"I've left her before, but I never knew if she actually settled down or not until I got the camera," she said.
She shared on the TikTok account @narla.the.chow on June 25 what Narla did while home alone. Aaliyah pulled out the app to check the camera. Narla first stood in front of the camera, staring directly into it. Confirming she was home alone, she turned her head back and forth.
To Aaliyah's surprise, Narla walked her way over to the front door and plopped down. She patiently stayed in that spot until Aaliyah returned home.
"I was shocked that she actually just lay down waiting for me," Aaliyah said.

TikTok users immediately fell in love with Narla, calling her a "gorgeous flooof" and the "best girl."
Like Aaliyah, they thought Narla was so cute for how calmly she waited, which rarely happens for dogs with attachment issues.
Dogs with separation anxiety feel extremely stressed. When they're home alone, they might resort to excessive barking and howling, destroying items in the house, attempting to escape or urinating and defecating inside.
To help prevent separation anxiety, Newsweek previously reported that owners try the following: do not make a big deal about leaving or returning home, give dogs breaks throughout the day without you, teach them how to self-soothe and spend quality time together, along with the breaks.

People Share the Most 'Diabolical' Things Their Parents Let Them Believe As Kids
What's an old wives' tale from childhood, or other silly belief, that your parents let you run with? 'My mother said she had 'eyes on the back of her head,'' Gabi Frost, 18, tells Gabi posted a TikTok video with text that read: 'I'm bored. Tell me the most diabolical thing your parents let you believe as a child. Not that 'Santa was real' or 'Babies came from the sky.' Something crazy.' So, we were all lied to — and about the same things. 'If I kept making the same face for too long, it would get stuck like that forever.' 'I thought 'drinking and driving' meant any drink so when she would sip her coffee, I genuinely would get so scared and aggressively check the back window.' 'My birthday is July 4 and my dad had me convinced for years that the fireworks were just for me and that everyone was celebrating my birthday.' 'I thought my parents would get arrested if the car light was on.' 'I thought Dalmatians were extinct and that '101 Dalmatians' was a documentary.' 'That if I ate a black watermelon seed, one would grow in my belly.' 'My dad told me that if I didn't let him pull my loose tooth out, it would grow into a vampire fang and I would turn into a vampire.' 'I'm still not confident that it's not illegal with the inside car light on.' 'My dad would act like he could change the music on the radio just by pointing at it, but now I know it's the button on the steering wheel.' 'Thought it was illegal to roll your windows down on the highway.' 'If I was too close to the TV when I was watching it, they told me that my eyes would go square.' 'I watched 'Toy Story' as a kid and my mom always told me that when I would look away, they would come alive and if I were to misbehave, they would tell her.' 'That if I ate while lying down, I would turn into a snake.' Gabi tells that her mom's warning — 'I have eyes in the back of my head' — was issued while driving the family minivan. 'I remember sitting in the back ... being a nuisance and hitting my brother or something,' says Gabi. 'She obviously had the rearview mirror, but said she had eyes in the back of her head and that she could see me. I was always on my best behavior after that, because Mom would know.' She added, 'My grandma also told me that if I made a pouty face with my lower lip out, a bird would fly by and poop on it.' Carrie Frost, who is Gabi's mom, tells that because her daughter believed she was always watching, she 'could never lie or get away with anything.' 'What she didn't realize is that moms gossip,' says Carrie. 'I kept close lines of communication with other parents, friends, teachers and coaches. It truly takes a village.'

Brandi Glanville suffers facial burns after Nair experiment goes awry
An experiment intended to rid 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum Brandi Glanville of a facial parasite left the former reality TV star with chemical burns. In a short video posted to TikTok on Sunday, Glanville, 52, said that she decided to use Nair to try to eradicate the parasite. However, the popular hair removal product aggravated her skin, leaving her with apparent chemical burns. 'I know I look attractive,' she joked. 'Good news, you don't have to spend a lot of money on peels and lasers anymore.' During the clip, she referred to the parasite as 'Caroline,' a possible reference to her 'Real Housewives' rival Caroline Manzo. In January 2023, Manzo accused Glanville of sexual assault during filming. This led to both of them departing the Morocco set of 'The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.' That was also where Glanville previously said she might have contracted the parasite. Glanville has denied all claims Manzo has made against her, calling them absurd, Page Six reports. In her TikTok video, Glanville claims the Nair successfully moved the parasite ('Caroline') to a different part of her face upon application. 'Nair is the fountain of youth, I figured it out,' she said. 'But I overdid it … seven minutes, don't do it.' The first time Glanville shared information regarding the parasite, she claimed that she had consulted 'every doctor under the sun' but to no avail. The mysterious condition was said to have left her with frequent facial swelling and missing teeth. She told ET in December 2024 that she'd suspected a parasite had made its way into her system after the filming in Morocco. 'We had food sitting out for hours on end, and some of it was meat,' she said, adding that medical complications began six months later. Glanville claimed that she had since spent more than $70,000 on noninvasive procedures to pinpoint exactly what was going on. Notably, she was on IV antibiotics that alleviated swelling but proved to be too expensive. 'I've been on meds this whole year. I don't socialize. I don't go out,' she said at the time.
