Woman Hides From Dog Demanding To Play Fetch, It Goes As Expected
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. The endless energy of a playful dog is something that many pet owners know well. One woman's recent attempt to catch a break from a relentless game of fetch with her canine has become a viral TikTok moment, capturing the sweet and persistent nature of a Labrador retriever. Since it was posted, the video of the pup's determination to find her has received over 838,000 views. "Hiding behind my couch because I needed a break from throwing her ball," the owner captioned the video. The footage shows her perspective from behind the couch, only to be shocked by her dog leaping to peer over the edge with a ball. The canine, a mix of Labrador retriever, Australian shepherd and poodle, has captured hearts everywhere with her enthusiasm. You Can't Hide From the Game The video resonated with thousands of viewers, many of whom have experienced the same exhaustion from a game of fetch. One user perfectly summed up the dog's persistence: "In the wise words of [Taken actor] Liam Neeson 'I will look for you, I will find you,'" they wrote. "It makes me feel so seen to see posts from other people hiding from their dogs," another commented. A third owner shared a similar strategy for getting a break. "The only time my dog stops is if I lay on the bed, and she will come up with me. Sometimes, I play on my phone for a ridiculous amount of time to just get a break," they wrote. One commenter joked about the owner's elaborate hiding spot: "I yelled out scared because I didn't have time to finish reading and I thought a killer was out to get you." A more-practical user offered a tip for future games of hide-and-seek: "Since they smell where you were, just walk in a ton of different places and they won't know where you went," they wrote. Stock photo: A dog plays with a toy ball at home. Stock photo: A dog plays with a toy ball at Psychology Behind Fetch A blog post from Wag! said a dog's love for fetch is deeply rooted in its natural instincts. Playing the game isn't just a fun activity; it "satisfies their need to be useful." In a canine's mind, they aren't just retrieving a ball, but bringing back "food" for a pack. As natural hunters, dogs love to be kept occupied and see their owner as the pack leader. When they play fetch, they are bringing an "offering" and acknowledging their owner's role. The blog post also noted that fetch is an excellent way for dogs to expend energy and brain power, which can prevent them from getting bored or destructive. But it also warns that some pups can become so obsessed with the game that it can be frustrating for owners. When a canine "is constantly thrusting the ball at you in the hope you'll join in with the game," it may be time to put the toy away and out of sight until the next scheduled play session.

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.

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?"

Celebrities Who Refused To Fix Their Teeth Or Regretted Dental Work
Amid the growing (and disheartening) pressure to look 'perfect' in Hollywood, it's nice to see celebrities refusing to conform to particular standards and embracing their natural beauty. This week, Reddit user u/PaleontologistNo5420 shared a thread in r/popculturechat celebrating famous women with 'unique' smiles, which prompted a heap of wholesome discourse and praise. So, here's a roundup of celebrities who have refused to get cosmetic dental work done: 1. After starring in The White Lotus earlier this year, Aimee Lou Wood found herself — and, well, her teeth — at the center of public discourse. The actor even saw a viral video of an orthodontist 'analyzing' her teeth before concluding that she doesn't need to change her smile at all, to which she replied, 'It feels so lovely. A real full-circle moment after being bullied for my teeth forever. Now people are clapping in an audience.' 2. Although Ayo Edebiri's dentist apparently insisted that she get Invisalign, The Bear star firmly refused. 'I'm not allowed to. I won't allow myself to. I don't want to, I want to look like myself. I want to look like my parents, I want to look like my family. I want to look like Black people who are from Boston,' she told Bustle in 2022. 3. Kirsten Dunst once shared that when she was just 19, a Spider-Man producer drove her to the dentist to get her teeth fixed — without giving her any sort of heads up beforehand. 'I was like, 'Mmmmm, no, I like my teeth,'' she recalled as she remembered refusing to get out of the car. 4. Joel Kim Booster once tweeted, 'I love when people ask me when I'm going to fix my teeth. Extremely normal behavior. And quite honestly if I did, it would almost make me too powerful.' He later shared in an interview of the awkward encounter, 'Someone straight up asked me, 'When you get famous, are you gonna fix your teeth?' It was the first time someone had clocked me for having bad teeth. At that point in my career, I didn't necessarily have the means to address it. My response was simply 'No.' And I internalized that response to such a degree in the years since that, as I've become more and more successful, I sort of put off addressing any dental work.' 5. Back in 2021, Cynthia Erivo told Vogue that she has 'never' wanted to change the gap in her teeth. 'I think a smile that has a gap in it already is perfect,' she said. 'I wouldn't change it. I have never wanted to change it. I never will change it. And I don't shy away from people looking at my mouth. So if you have a gap out there, enjoy it.' 6. Similarly, Georgia May Jagger has talked about embracing the gap in her teeth, admitting that she wasn't really aware of it until she started modeling. 'The press started making a big deal of it and I thought, I suppose my smile doesn't look like everyone else's,' she told Vogue in 2011. 7. Back in 2007, Keira Knightley said she'd never felt any pressure in Hollywood to fix her so-called 'wonky' teeth. 'I've never felt that I was, in any way, exploited in any of the kind of film experiences that I've had,' she told CBS News. 'Which is quite amazing, because I've got wonky teeth. And I keep hearing about everybody going to Hollywood and, you know, their agents going, 'Straighten your teeth,' or 'Whiten your teeth,' but nobody's ever said anything about my teeth.' On the flip side, several stars have talked about massively regretting getting cosmetic work done to fix their teeth: 1. Back in 2016, Demi Lovato shared during an interview with Allure, 'I signed with the Disney Channel when I got to Camp Rock, and I had a gap between my two front teeth. They were like, 'Would you be willing to fix it?' I wish today that I hadn't.' 2. During a 2021 interview, Bad Bunny looked back at a photo of himself at the 2018 Latin Billboard Awards and said, 'My jaw hurts just looking at this picture. I'd just had my teeth done — I've always regretted it — and the veneers were wrong, so the grill didn't fit properly. Look at me trying to close my mouth!' 3. Kehlani once warned her fans against getting 'cheap' resin veneers that caused her dental problems. 'It is cheap and fast but the amount of long, expensive dental work you are going to need after you go this route is five or six times the amount,' she said in a now-deleted TikTok. 'Dental work can not be one of the things where you sacrifice quality because of price. It's your mouth and when you get problems in your mouth, it can lead to disease in the body.' 4. Just last month, Alix Earle expressed regret over her veneers as she shared a now-viral TikTok of herself filing her front tooth down with a nail file. 'I really regretted it, like, right away. I think it was really scary for me, and I was like, 'What did I just do?' I had such good teeth and, I'm like, 'Oh my God, I have to keep up with this for the rest of my life,'' she said in the video. 5. And finally, LeAnn Rimes once sued her dentist, alleging that a faulty crown placement caused her to develop 'severe tooth pain, gum inflammation and chronic gum bleeding,' per ABC News. The singer — who was unable to perform at certain tour dates because she had to undergo dental surgery — sought monetary compensation for 'loss of earnings and future earning capacity.' There is no public record of how the suit played out. Can you think of any more examples? Feel free to share in the comments!
