Dog on Campsite Sees Opportunity—Gets 'One Bite In' Before Air Jail
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's intuition about a round object being near his campsite landed him in "air jail" as he took off and intruded on the neighbor's space. An English bulldog named Jerry has an obsession with round objects—tennis balls, basketballs, and so on. The dog's owner, who didn't share their details, told Newsweek via Instagram that Jerry loves anything soccer ball-sized or bigger. "He's tried to get at a watermelon a handful of times, like when we've brought one home from the store," the owner said. "He was super-intrigued, thinking it was a ball or a toy for him." The obsession doesn't stop when Jerry goes on vacation; in fact, his "sixth sense" for these round objects is always on. A recent video posted to Jerry's Instagram account, @jerrywasabulldog, shows that Jerry took his opportunity to go after a round object at a neighboring campsite in Long Beach, Washington. His eyes spots a watermelon, and the dog takes off running before his owners can stop him. Jerry manages to sneak in one bite before his owner scoops him up and places him in "air jail," carrying him back to his campsite. All four paws point to the sky. Defeated about being caught so quickly, Jerry's head hangs to the side. From left: Jerry the English bulldog gets put in "air jail" at a neighboring campsite. From left: Jerry the English bulldog gets put in "air jail" at a neighboring campsite. @jerrywasabulldog/Instagram Within five days of posting, the Instagram clip has amassed over 3.5 million views and left viewers cracking up at Jerry's unbothered reaction as if this wasn't the first time he landed in air jail. "'Zero 'effs given—will do again' it's written all over his face," one viewer said. "You miss 100% of the watermelons you don't chase," another posted. A third wrote: "no offense but Jerry is a round object himself." And after several comments demanded Jerry's owner get him a watermelon of his own, they obliged. A follow-up video shows the dog enjoying the first-ever watermelon that he gets to "play with." In the clip, Jerry sprints toward the round fruit. He uses his snoot to push the watermelon around the grass. Then his paws and teeth finally dig in, enjoying parts of the juicy fruit. While watermelon is safe for dogs to eat, the American Kennel Club says that the seeds inside could cause intestinal blockage, and the rind might lead to gastrointestinal upset. Otherwise, the low-calorie fruit—about 50 calories per cup—is packed with vitamins A, B6 and C, and potassium. Watermelon is an excellent source of hydration on a hot day and has no fat or cholesterol. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Tiger Woods' Son Charlie Passing Up Title Defense For Bigger Stage
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. Tiger Woods' son, Charlie, had little time to recover from the bruises he sustained at the US Junior Amateur. Just a week after missing the cut in Dallas, the younger Woods is back in another top-rated event. Curiously, Charlie Woods should have been defending his title in the South Florida PGA Junior Cup, the 2025 edition of which starts this Monday. However, the youngest son of the 18-time major winner will not be present at that tournament. The reason for his absence? Charlie is in Indiana to play in the Junior PGA Championship, beginning Tuesday at the Purdue University golf facilities. This is one of the premier junior golf events in the country, featuring tournaments for boys and girls simultaneously. Charlie Woods of the United States hits a tee shot on the fourth hole during the second round of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Trinity Forest Golf Club on July 22, 2025 in Dallas, Texas. Charlie Woods of the United States hits a tee shot on the fourth hole during the second round of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Trinity Forest Golf Club on July 22, 2025 in Dallas, will be Charlie's first appearance in this event, where his legendary father finished runner-up once during his illustrious junior golf career. The boys' Junior PGA Championship tournament will be played on Purdue University's Ackerman-Allen Course. The field features 156 players, including top-ranked golfers Miles Russell and Luke Colton. Recent US Junior Amateur champion Hamilton Coleman will not be present. The tournament will have a stroke-play format, similar to most professional events. The top 60 players plus ties will make the cut after 36 holes and play the final two rounds to determine the champion. A year ago, Baylor Larrabee won the event at the Congressional Country Club. He is currently on the UCLA golf team and cannot defend his title at Purdue because he is no longer age eligible. Junior PGA Championship Week The best junior golfers in the world have arrived @PurdueGolf to test their games on our 2 home courses. — Purdue W Golf (@PurdueWGolf) July 28, 2025 The girls' event will be played simultaneously on Purdue University's Kampen-Cosler Course. It will feature the same characteristics as the boys' tournament, and the No. 2-ranked player in the country, Asterisk Talley, leads the field. Charlie missed the cut in the US Junior Amateur after carding a terrible first-round 81 at Brook Hollow Golf Club. A day later, he improved significantly and carded a 74 at Trinity Forest, but his fate was already sealed, and he couldn't advance beyond the stroke-play phase. Just over a month earlier, he won his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tournament, the Team TaylorMade Invitational.
