How Golden Retriever 'Trained' Owner To Never Stop Petting Him Goes Viral
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. A dog has trained his owner to never stop petting him, with an adorable video going viral online. Amber McClain, 45, lives in Michigan with her husband Ben, two children, and 4 four-year-old golden retriever, Murph. "We always joke that he's a 'momma's boy' and a 'Velcro dog'," McClain told Newsweek, referencing the term used for when a pet is stuck to you. "He follows me everywhere. He has since he was a little puppy!" Explaining they got Murph during the pandemic, which "might contribute to his 'Velcroness'," McClain said the golden "detests any technology that might steer someone's attention away from petting him. "Often, if I'm looking at my phone, he'll come up and nose it right out of my hand. I work from home, so, a lot of times, if I'm on my laptop on my couch, he'll come up and sit on my lap in between me and the screen." A video showcasing Murph's contempt for anything that stops him from getting all the attention has now gone viral, after McClain shared a clip to her TikTok account @murphsmom2021 on May 31. From left: Murph smiles as his owner pets him, and instantly turns on the manipulation when she stops.

TikTok @murphsmom2021 Viewed more than 688,000 times, the footage shows McClain reaching out a hand and scratching Murph, who is beside her on the sofa. He has a smile on his face, and is looking at McClain with love in his eyes. But the second she moves her hand away, Murph's face drops—he stares at her dolefully, and then makes a sound that can only be described as an annoyed groan. McClain goes back to scratching, and the smile is back on Murph's face—for just moment, until she moves her hand again and the unimpressed expression, followed by a groan, is back. The battle continues, with McClain continually scratching and stopping, and Murph smiling and frowning multiple times—and TikTok users were in stitches, with one commenter writing: "He's trained you wonderfully." Another posted: "The 3rd time, he didn't smile. He was expecting to be disappointed!" "The change in his facial expression is so dramatic," one comment read, as another added: "The flip between smile and disappointment is hilarious." From left: Murph's expression changes instantly when Amber McClain stops giving him attention. From left: Murph's expression changes instantly when Amber McClain stops giving him attention. TikTok @murphsmom2021 McClain told Newsweek: "He does do this quite often but not every time." The owner added: "It's been fun to watch the video of Murph blow up. "He has such a funny personality. It's fun to share it with others!" Golden retrievers are popular as family pets thanks to their friendly and devoted nature, and getting along well with family, young children and other dogs, according to the American Kennel Club. In 2024, the breed was third in the AKC's list of the most-popular dog breeds in the U.S. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Hailey Bieber's ‘Priority Is Protecting Her Family' Amid Speculation About Husband Justin's Mental Health
Heads turned when Hailey Bieber stepped out of NYC's Carlyle Hotel. Wearing a black double-breasted menswear-inspired Saint Laurent mini dress, sky-high patent leather heels and Tiffany & Co. diamonds, she waved to photographers with one hand while clutching a vodka cocktail in the other as she left for the Met Gala. 'One thing about me,' she wrote on her Instagram Stories following the glamorous May 5 event — which she attended solo — 'is I'm gonna wear a blazer and drink a martini.' Another thing about Hailey? She's not going to answer questions about her husband, Justin Bieber, amid ongoing speculation over his health and well-being. Fresh concerns for the music star, 31 — who instead of attending the gala alongside his wife watched an NHL playoff game with friends, he revealed on Instagram — emerged one day earlier after he posted yet another image of himself using a bong. Though it's unclear exactly what he was smoking, the snap came weeks after he was spotted dancing and lighting up what fans believe was marijuana next to his 15-year-old brother, Jaxon, at California's Coachella music festival in April, following months of similarly worrying behavior. While his rep in February told TMZ the Grammy winner wasn't using hard drugs, branding the 'harmful narratives' about Justin's mental and physical health and tired, gaunt appearance 'exhausting,' Hailey, 28, is loath to publicly engage. 'She refuses to make excuses or speak for Justin,' a source exclusively tells Life & Style. 'The constant speculation about his mental state and their marriage has to be tough, but Hailey has a remarkable ability to stay calm. She is resilient and won't take any crap.' After nearly seven years of marriage to a former child star who's long courted controversy and been candid about his past issues with substance abuse and depression, Hailey's figured out how to handle the attention. The model, influencer and founder of the skincare line Rhode — who gave birth to their first child, son Jack, in August — 'makes and follows her own rules,' explains the source. 'Friends say her priority is protecting her family. Justin and Jack come first, which is why she is tuning everyone else out. She's focused on their future, not the drama.' That doesn't mean facing the seemingly never ending chatter has been easy. Fans follow and react to Justin's every move, so when he posts pictures with drug paraphernalia or confesses he's dealing with imposter syndrome — as he did this spring in a heartbreaking Instagram message, admitting he's 'always felt unworthy, like I was a fraud' and 'definitely feel[s] unequipped and unqualified most days' — they worry. So do friends and former members of the 'Sorry' singer's inner circle, many of whom he's cut ties with over the last year, including former manager Scooter Braun, 43. 'Whatever [Justin's] going through, I pray for him and hope he's OK,' songwriter Poo Bear, 45, a former collaborator, told The Hollywood Reporter in April. An ex member of Justin's team further told the outlet 'seeing him disintegrate like this' makes them think 'he's lost' and that 'there's no one protecting him.' A source close to the 'Love Yourself' hitmaker, however, insisted Justin isn't in distress. 'Artists are artists — they don't look at the world the way you and I do,' that source told THR, claiming, 'He's healthier than all of us — physically and mentally.' Justin and Hailey have put on a united front. He's been complimenting her social media posts — 'I see it I like it and I want it,' he commented on her Met Gala pics — and accusing haters of being envious. 'Honestly if I was [you] it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going so brazzzzyy,' he told his Insta followers in April. 'Hailey and I are the Jones's [sic] that are impossible to keep up with.' Hailey's previously vowed to support Justin through anything. Three years into their marriage, she recounted a difficult period early on when he was struggling with his mental health. 'Imagine abandoning somebody in the middle of the worst time of their life,' she said on the "In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith" podcast, insisting, 'I'm not that type of a person.' That hasn't changed, the source confirms: 'Those who know her best are proud of the strength Hailey's shown.'
