Video: Golden Retriever Playing Hide and Seek in the Funniest Way
Muffin, the Golden Retriever, has captured hearts on Instagram for his less-than-sneaky version of hide and seek. In the video, Muffin is seen attempting to 'hide' from his owner, but it's clear he doesn't fully grasp the concept. Rather than finding a well-concealed spot, Muffin plants himself behind a curtain, with his body, tail, and even his head still visibly sticking out.
To make things even funnier, Muffin can't help but bark while hiding, like he's trying to give his location away instead of staying silent. It's almost as if he believes the game isn't about being hidden but about being found quickly. As the seconds tick by and his mom pretends not to see him, Muffin gets visibly impatient. He starts peeking out even more, wagging his tail and barking louder, eager for his owner to 'discover' him and end the suspense.
Regular play is one of the most effective ways to keep your dog physically and mentally healthy. Games like hide and seek tap into a dog's natural instincts — like searching, sniffing, and tracking — while also providing movement and stimulation. Interactive games build confidence, help curb unwanted behaviors, and create a positive outlet for energy. Just as importantly, play strengthens the bond between you and your pet and helps them feel included and engaged, which is key to their emotional well-being.
To keep playtime both safe and enjoyable, start with simple, easy-to-follow games. Use treats, praise, and lots of encouragement to help your dog learn. Stick with positive reinforcement and avoid pushing too hard. Let your dog set the pace, and adjust the difficulty gradually as they become more comfortable.

Georgina Rodríguez's massive engagement ring from Cristiano Ronaldo is breaking the internet, with the rock estimated to be worth 7 figures
The bride-to-be posted the photo of the impressive diamond ring that broke the internet. Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine model Georgina Rodríguez announced their engagement on Monday after eight years of dating. The bride-to-be shared the momentous news in an Instagram post, with a photo of her massive sparkler of an engagement ring and the caption, written in Spanish: 'Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.' The post has since broken the internet, with over 11.3 million likes as of Tuesday morning. The official details of Rodríguez's bling, like the number of carats and how much it's worth, have yet to be revealed by the power couple and their unknown jeweler, but that hasn't stopped jewelry experts from weighing in. Here's what we know so far about the 'four C's' (cut, clarity, color and carat) of the impressive diamond ring: What kind of cut is the diamond? Abdulla BelJafla, creative director of Gafla, who shared his insight with Vogue Arabia, said the main diamond in the center is an oval-cut, which maximizes its brilliance. 'A perfectly proportioned oval (with a 1.30–1.50 length-to-width ratio) offers symmetry on the hand,' he told the magazine. 'While many ovals exhibit the subtle 'bow-tie effect,' this piece appears to have exceptional light dispersion, minimizing it entirely.' How many estimated carats are there? Rodríguez's oval-cut diamond ring is approximately 37 carats in total, according to jewelry experts. The center oval stone weighs about 35 carats, Tobias Kormind, the managing director of 77 Diamonds in London, told People. He believes the center stone is flanked by oval stones on the sides, about one carat each, set in platinum. BelJafla also assessed the stunner to be about 37 carats total and estimated the center diamond to be "between 22 and 30 carats," he told Vogue Arabia. Let's get down to brass tacks. How much do we think this ring is worth? It's estimated to be worth seven figures. 'If the diamond is natural and of exceptional quality in the D-F color range with flawless or near-flawless clarity, its value could easily exceed around $2 million," Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, told People. Meanwhile, Kormind estimates that Rodríguez is carrying around a $5 million ring on her finger. 'Experts value the ring between U.S. $4 million and U.S. $5 million,' BelJafla told Vogue Arabia, 'given the size, flawless clarity, and D color of the stones. … A ring like this is quite rare if it's a natural diamond.' What else do we know about the engaged couple? Ronaldo, 40, and Rodríguez, 31, have been together for eight years. They have a total of four children together: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8 (born via surrogacy); daughter Alana, 7; and daughter Bella, 3. Ronaldo also has a 15-year-old son, Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship. The couple previously announced the death of Bella's twin brother, Ángel, in April 2022. Solve the daily Crossword

Puppies up for adoption go viral for Gen Alpha slang names. Only 'Ohio' has found a home
A Canadian animal rescue thought of a clever way to draw attention to their adoptable pets. Dubbed the "Slang Litter," six puppies went viral for their Gen alpha-inspired names, including one named "Ohio," who is the only puppy that has been adopted. Funds for Furry Friends still has five more puppies that await adoption: Sigma, Rizz, Skibidi, Cap, and Gyat. Ohio was the first and (as of Aug. 13) only puppy to be adopted from the rescue, according to the organization's website. Their Instagram post from mid-July received more than 400,000 likes in one month. "When we heard there were six tiny, squishy, helpless pups sitting in the pound—alone, confused, and likely judging our millennial slang—we dropped everything and jumped into action," the organization's Instagram caption reads. "Nothing screams 2025 like a group of pups named after TikTok vocabulary we only half understand." 'Ohio', 'Rizz', and more puppies named after Gen Alpha TikTok slang The other five puppies from the litter, who were born May 21, were still available for adoption as of Aug. 13. The description, written in true Gen Alpha fashion, describes the mixed breeds puppies as "a squad of pups who are all vibes, no cap, and 100% ready to make your home feel like a trend." If you want to adopt the pups for yourself, Funds for Furry Friends only allows animals to be adopted in person and won't ship puppies. The charity is located in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, which is about 1,150 miles from Ohio's northwest corner, per Google Maps.

The new Timothée Chalamet movie trailer is about a sport no one respects
After appearing as music icon Bob Dylan last year, the next project from Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet is technically about sports. The 29-year-old actor impressed fans last year by proving his knowledge as a sports fan while appearing on ESPN's College GameDay. He correctly predicted upsets and genuinely seemed like a lot of fun joking around on set. During the exciting postseason run for the New York Knicks, he was also a fixture at Madison Square Garden, even sharing a fun moment with Karl-Anthony Towns. Hopefully, he got a second to pick Towns' brain about what it's like to be a wildly disrespected athlete, because that is exactly what Chalamet will portray in his next film. More: Timothée Chalamet was offered Stephen A. Smith mentorship for an ESPN career The first trailer for the upcoming A24 project Marty Supreme released on Wednesday and it looks wild. Here is what you need to know: "Marty Mauser, a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness." That dream, it seems, is to become a ping pong star so big that he will appear on the cover of Wheaties boxes. This is the first project from Josh Safdie (Good Time and Uncut Gems) in his solo directorial debut. Chalamet will lead in the first billing but Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary (from Shark Tank), and Tyler, The Creator (as Tyler Okonma) will co-star.
