Dog Decides To Leash-Train Older Sibling on Walk, Viewers Left in Hysterics
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. Internet users can't cope with a dog trying to leash-train his brother and taking the responsibility incredibly seriously. Dog owner Hayley Walker shared a hilarious video on TikTok (@hayleywalkerrrr) of her doodle dog Saint doing his best to leash-train Chance, his older brother. During their walk in San Francisco, California, the clip shows Saint holding Chance's leash in his mouth and trying to guide him where (and where not) to go. As hard as Chance tried to sniff the trees and the flower beds on the sidewalk, Saint was having none of it. The black dog repeatedly pulled at his brother's leash and stopped him from exploring further. The footage has gone viral as TikTok users can't get enough of Saint's strict tone that he set for his sibling. The video has generated over 379,900 views and more than 68,400 likes at the time of writing. Newsweek has contacted Walker via TikTok for comment. We could not verify the details of the video. The caption alongside the clip says: "Saint takes loose leash training very seriously." Walking on a leash doesn't come naturally to dogs, and they need to be taught how to do so properly, albeit, usually by their owner. The website PetMD says that leash training keeps a dog safe in public, can prevent leash reactivity, and also allows pups to go more places with their owner if they are conditioned to being on a leash. Before training begins, the canine should be able to wear its harness, collar, and leash indoors to get accustomed to it. Wearing them during playtime and when given treats will build positive associations, as highlighted by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Practicing inside is a great way for the dog to feel what the leash is like, without the distractions of cars or other people. Eventually, canines will be ready to test their skills outside, which will bring new smells, sights, and encounters into the equation. For dogs who pull on the leash, the AKC suggests standing still and refusing to move until they come back. For a canine who lunges, redirect their attention with a treat before they have the opportunity to lunge at something you know triggers them, such as a cyclist or car. Stock photo: Two brown Labradoodles sitting on the grass outside. Stock photo: Two brown Labradoodles sitting on the grass outside. yhelfman/Getty Images Time after time during their walk, Saint ensured his doodle brother didn't wander off or veer too far from the center of the sidewalk. Any time Saint wanted to assert his authority, he would stop walking and tug on Chance's leash to show him how it is done properly. When Saint is in charge, there are no shortcuts or lapses in judgment permitted. He certainly "runs a tight ship," as Walker wrote on TikTok. Since the video went viral, internet users have lauded the canine's scrupulous training methods, leading to more than 340 comments on the post so far. Indeed, many social-media users even suggested that Saint could make a career out of this as a no-fuss dog trainer. One comment reads: "He said don't embarrass me, we walk like this." Another TikTok user wrote: "Better at training than me and I'm a professional." A third person replied: "I know a deputy parent when I see one." One commenter joked: "Is he taking new clients?"

The 14 Best Sweet Vanilla Perfumes To Channel Taylor Swift's 'The Life Of A Showgirl'
If you're looking for a new perfume to bring you into warmer weather, your mind might automatically go to floral, fruity, or solar scents. But what about an unconventional option, like vanilla? For a long time, vanilla scents got a bad reputation. In many people's minds, vanilla perfumes are cloying, too sweet, and reminiscent of a cheap body mist from their youth. Today's best vanilla scents, however, are just the opposite. Vanilla, as we have come to view it, has been completely turned on its head. In fact, we've come into a sort of vanilla perfume renaissance, and vanilla was forecasted to be one of the biggest perfume trends of 2025. Today's best vanilla scents feature the ingredient at its best: they're smoky, leathery, woodsy, and different. They won't make someone think of a secondary school hallway - instead, prepare to be peppered with compliments from strangers. Keep reading for the best vanilla scents to try right now - these might just be the ideal unexpected summer perfumes. Gucci's first floral gourmand is a home run. It smells sugary and nostalgic, but it's still extremely wearable. The marine ozonic accord adds a hint of levity to the sweetness. Leave it to Merit to launch a debut fragrance that's both endlessly wearable and completely different. A mix of fruity notes like pear, floral notes like jasmine, herbal notes like rosemary, and gourmand notes like vanilla somehow work perfectly together. You'll immediately buy this fragrance for the gorgeous bronze packaging, but the guaranteed compliments prove its staying power. Warm and spicy notes of vanilla and musk form a cosy blanket that feels crisp like an October autumn day. Burberry Goddess is a gourmand goldmine. Featuring three vanilla notes, the scent bursts with a creamy, warm aroma that's anchored by a brush of lavender in each spritz. Kayali's Vanilla fragrance is both addictive and alluring. Equal parts creamy and seductive, the sugary scent features a mix of Brazilian tonka, Madagascar vanilla, brown sugar, and florals that leave a mark on each person you encounter. (Trust us.) YSL Libre opens as a seductive dark floral arrangement, fitting for nighttime wear. Layer by layer, each note steals the scene from a burst of juicy orange blossom to warm vanilla as it dries down. New York City is a melange of both pleasant and unpleasant smells. However, in Bond No. 9's world, the city is a golden medley of dewy florals and vanilla. Most vanilla fragrances conjure images of a fireplace, toasted chai latte, or a delicious plate of cookies. Juliette Has a Gun's Vanilla Vibes is the twist that's less sweet, more fresh and alluring. Fun fact: this scent was actually inspired by Burning Man's electric, carefree spirit blanketing the dusty desert gathering. Here's a scent that's as startling as its fire-red packaging. Blackcurrant nectar, pear, and rose add the sparkle, while vanilla and cedarwood ignite the passion. Honey and warmed rum come together in this fragrance to create something deep, hypnotic, and alluring. A hint of vanilla bean and sandalwood adds just the right amount of complexity. Sometimes, our desire to smell like a tropical holiday leaves us with limited scent options that are childish and gimmicky. Sol de Janeiro's Sol Cheirosa is the grown-up version of a fun summer day. In Sol de Janeiro's world, summer feels warm (sandalwood, vanilla), sweet (pistachio, caramel), and bright (jasmine petals). This Sephora bestseller is beloved by many for its youthful, fresh scent. The name suggests that it would veer toward deep, woodsy scents, but its pear, rose, and vanilla notes create a warm floral composition. This fragrance is described to recall 'jungle vines and good times.' It's a deep, smoky fragrance that uses real vanilla absolute to help you smell like the natural spice, not a synthetic version. Mugler's Alien Goddess offers a decadent ambience built around Madagascar vanilla. The aroma sweetens with the addition of jasmine and bergamot.

Chance the Rapper makes a truly sensational comeback with 'Star Line'
If you take away anything from Star Line, Chance the Rapper's first major project since 2019's polarizing The Big Day, it's that the Chicago hip-hop dignitary's signature "And we back!" has never meant more than now. The juxtaposition of The Big Day and Star Line is impossible to miss. The former gave Chance a victory lap for the ages after 2016's rainbow comet-strike of Coloring Book, the commanding capper on his holy trilogy from the mixtape movement built by 2012's 10 Day and 2013's seminal Acid Rap that confirmed his superstardom. The Big Day came from an artist who knew he'd won the marathon and was ready to expand his reach past the DatPiff faithful. This was the Chance who saw his dreams come true, who rose to be his Chi-town idol Kanye West's heir apparent on "Ultralight Beam" and saw then-President Barack Obama put "Acid Rain" on his 2016 summer playlist. His first formal album played like a playlist for a wedding reception, with its audience largely confused as to whether or not it was invited. For some, it was Chance joyfully embracing his golden status in the mainstream, with features ranging from Gucci Mane and Lil Durk to Randy Newman and Death Cab for Cutie. It was harmless fun. However, The Big Day's evident "bigness" saw the project get a bad rep from day-one Chance fans, turning against its unexpectedly bubbly spirit, its braggadocious shout of newlywed love from a guy at the top of the world. No longer was this the scrappy Lil Chano from 79th; he was Chance the Rapper, Grammy winner and rap titan. That album largely eschewed some of the paranoid smoke-session angst of Acid Rap and the soulful surcharge of Coloring Book for poppier fields. The Big Day came out less than a year before the COVID-19 pandemic, and you wonder if the album had come out a year later if it would've gotten the Ted Lasso treatment as a perfectly fine piece of already-ran pop culture amplified to balm the masses against the harshest 2020 had to offer. Alas, not to be. Six years passed since Chance celebrated The Big Day, and August's Star Line affirms that he's been through some stuff. His divorce from Kirsten Corley and his recent travels to nations like Jamaica and Ghana play a pivotal role in the thematic journey on which Chance takes his listeners, one where he provides wisened, battle-tested introspection of self, people and globe of the likes he never has in his explosive career. Star Line recaptures the sonic excellence and lyrical ambition of Coloring Book while providing a more world-weary foundation on which he builds some of his most striking homilies. Chance has never let go of his mixtape days' refusal to let go of childlike wonder amidst his loss of innocence, but Star Line finds a more mature beauty in tumultuous life experience. From the start, we hear some of the crispest delivery Chance has unleashed in his career on "Star Side Intro," a crash-course in an artist who has learned hard lessons and come out of them stronger. Sure, we get the Chance features we love, the clever wordplay and pop culture references, but this also affirms a Chance the Rapper ready to fight because he's had to fight, ready to take on what life throws at him. "Put on that full armor; learned that from my mama," Chance sings right after warning the world that he's not messing around with his music any longer. It's one of the best songs of his career, a pitch-perfect sailing through an artist who seems to have come out better on the other side of tragedy and self-exploration. The rest of the album carries that unabashed, humbled willingness to dig deeper, to speak out against injustice, to rage against the machine, to love himself again and surrender to the effervescent mystery of the cosmos in faith without sacrificing the defiance on which he forged his many talents. "Ride" glides like a cruise to better places that brings out a show-stopping guest verse from legendary Chicago outfit Do or Die, while the gut punch of "No More Old Men" laments the violence that curbs generations and makes a wonderful world smaller and more finite. "The Negro Problem" gives Chance his answer to Kendrick Lamar's "The Blacker the Berry" and Jay Z's "The Story of O.J.," a fiery examination of the Black experience gripped by oppression. "Back to the Go" mournfully studies a life in turmoil and heavily hints to post-marriage soul-searching, while 2022 single "The Highs & The Lows" fits well within the gallery of balancing life's best and worst moments. "Space & Time" plays like a heartbreaking sequel to "Same Drugs" and gives the album its most chillingly romantic sojourn, as you can imagine a reflective Chance the Rapper, edified by his life's recent ups and downs, sitting on the bow of a ship amidst the Aurora Borealis and contemplating while giving himself the forgiveness he needs to sail on to more prosperous waters. You feel the rush of wind in your hair and the leap of faith into the unknown. The album isn't afraid to lighten (and light) up. "Tree" is an Acid Rap-coded ode to rolling a joint to deal with life's stresses with a delightful Lil Wayne feature. The foreboding Ennio Morricone Untouchables piano key clacks and rat-a-tat delivery on "Drapetomania" should make its ways to the club sooner than later. BabyChiefDoit rolls in on that song for a breakout verse that should help translate his TikTok rap success to bigger notices very soon. Star Line's back nine pays homage to his Francis and the Lights days ("Link Me in the Future"), reunites Chance with beloved collaborators (Young Thug on "Gun in Yo Purse," Jay Electronica on "Just A Drop," BJ the Chicago Kid on "Speed of Light") and flips the temple tables on Chance's righteous-angriest song to date, "Letters." That song fire-and-brimstone sermon against the hypocrites of corrupt Christianity from someone sitting in the pews and seeing it firsthand. "Just A Drop" plays as Chance's most outward Gospel song since Coloring Book's "How Great." Also, make sure not to skip out on "Pretty," which will almost assuredly cement itself as a hidden gem. It's a reminder to highlight self-love punctuated by a haunting, OVO-influenced sample of DeBarge's "All This Love" that dances around like a refracted kaleidoscope against the modern Sound Wall. It's a song that could be mistaken for vanity, instead coated in healing humility. The album's emotional undercurrent is twofold. Part of it comes from Chance breaking his heart open and showing us what he's lived through, what it's taught him and how he wants it to shape him. Part of it comes from the fact that, after more than half a decade, we have Chance the Rapper back right where he belongs. Those who hold the Chicago rap legend near and dear can take heart that Chance has returned to full form. Those college dorm Acid Rap listens and sweltering summer 2016 Coloring Book car listens weren't in vain. If you loved those albums, you guard them with all your might. For an artist that has never struggled to synthesize something profound out of nostalgia, Chance the Rapper honors how deeply folks hold his mixtape era and how much it meant with Star Line. Chance the Rapper's latest project is an extraordinary comeback from a generational force. It's heads-and-shoulders one of the best rap albums of 2025 (and one of the best albums, period), a year already marked with a phenomenal Clipse reunion, a couple of sensational Alchemist collaborations and standout projects from Tyler the Creator, JID, Open Mike Eagle and Playboi Carti. It's a radiant reminder of Chance's breathtaking abilities. Sure, this Chance the Rapper may not focus in on the same precious mischief that reflected on the love of his grandma on "Sunday Candy" or growing up way, way too fast on "Cocoa Butter Kisses." However, the heart of who Chance the Rapper is has never been clearer on Star Line. It's the monumental vessel that brings him back home. "And we back," indeed.
