Woman Prepares To Lose Dog Who Beat 2 Terminal Diagnoses—but He's Not Done
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 pet sitter prepared herself to say goodbye to one of the canines she walks after he received one month left to life, but the dog "had other plans." Julie Nashawaty began pet sitting 10 years ago as a part-time job before transitioning full-time in 2020. One of the dogs she grew close to was a 15-year-old dog named Tusker, whom she called the "happiest little guy." Deaf, blind and beating two terminal cancer diagnoses, he continued to walk around without a care in the world, Nashawaty said. Since she began dog walking Tusker in February 2024, she's become close with the senior canine. When his family told her Tusker had about one month left to live, she was heartbroken. She began saying her goodbyes. Nashawaty worked with senior dogs before; she told Newsweek via email that it is always "incredibly difficult" to say goodbye, and it was no different with Tusker. But the small and mighty dog surprised everyone. Nashawaty shared in a June 1 Instagram video, posted to her account @southendpetsitting, her being reunited with Tusker months after the original goodbye. She said she cried after hearing he's been fighting. In the clip, she told him how happy she was to see him. He happily accepted all the pets and cheese during her visit. Part of the caption reads: "...And yet here we are. Still walking. Still fighting. Still eating cheese. Still Tusker." Screenshots from a June 1 Instagram video of a senior canine's dog walker returning to visit after she said her goodbyes thinking he was at the end of his life.

The only change Nashawaty noticed since going back to walk him was that he went fully blind. His bright personality never dimmed. Neither did his energy. "He lives on a fifth-floor walkup in the South End of Boston, so I have to carry him up and down those stairs for walks," she said. "But when we're outside, he'll walk for at least 20 minutes." Shocked by the toughness of this senior dog, Instagram users flooded the video with comments, and as of Tuesday, the clip amassed over "When you've survived two terminal cancer diagnosis, you deserve all the cheese your little heart desires," wrote one user. Another added: "Sweet and brave boy! Love you Tuskers! You're the strongest pup on the internet and one of the cutest too." A third person pointed out: "The joy in your voice at getting to see him again is so heartwarming." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Owner Wondered How Dog Was Escaping—Video Finally Provides the Answer
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 viral video revealing a sneaky dog's escape route left viewers in stitches. A pet parent known on TikTok as @_mel_2025 couldn't understand how his Staffordshire bull terrier kept escaping from the yard. With a tall, fenced-in yard, he thought there was no way his dog could jump it. But after finally capturing the escape route on film, the owner was stunned. In the June 2 TikTok video, the owner watched his dog from inside. The staff ran up to the fence door before slowly backing away. He quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching. Once he thought he was in the clear, he sprinted to the door, but once again, he retreated as it wasn't quite right. He recalculated his steps, confirming it was the perfect amount to get full speed, and then he was off. In one swift leap, his front paws managed to reach the top of the gate. His strength pulled him the rest of the way with his back paws pushing for assistance. Then, he was off to freedom on the other side. Newsweek reached out to @_mel_2025 via TikTok for additional information. @_mel_2025 It's the walk back and thinking about his jump 👀🫣😅 Fyp Follow me for more content ♬ Mission Impossible - Adam Clayton The owner isn't surprised by his staffy's escape as it has happened multiple times before. He was never sure if the dog used to shed to help climb over. The door used to have diagonal braces on it, but the dog chewed through that several years ago, the owner wrote in a comment. The dog's impressive escape tactic took the internet by storm, surpassing over 1.4 million views and 75,900 likes on TikTok as of Tuesday. "Way he goes in, then goes back again for a better run up. That had me," said one viewer, while another added: "Pacing out the required number of steps is very impressive." A third person joked: "Lad looks like he's been doing pull-ups to prepare for the escape." Others suggested that the owner get a bigger fence to prevent this from happening again, to which he replied that he was already "in the process." He is waiting for fencing supplies to be delivered. Plus, he's looking into purchasing fence toppers, such as cat-proof rollers, that curve in toward the yard, making it, hopefully, impossible to get out. Screenshots from a June 2 TikTok video of a Staffordshire bull terrier counting his steps as his backs up from the fence and executes his escape plan.

Partially Deaf Senior Dog Hears Owner's Voice Again, Reaction Is Everything
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 senior dog's reaction to hearing his owner's voice through headphones again has brought TikTok viewers to tears. Alley Dolan told Newsweek via email that she and the family started to notice 13-year-old Rhino's hearing decline in December. The American bully/pit bull mix stopped reacting to words that used to excite him, including ride, walk, ball, lizard, laser and good boy. Instead of greeting the family when they walked in the door, Rhino would wait until he saw them or noticed their other dogs reacting. "He seems a little more confused or disconnected at times, and I've noticed he now relies heavily on his nose," Dolan said. "For example, he no longer hears a chip bag rattle, he has to smell the food to know it's there." Screenshots from the June 1 TikTok video of 13-year-old Rhino trying on bone conduction headphones to listen to his owner's voice. Screenshots from the June 1 TikTok video of 13-year-old Rhino trying on bone conduction headphones to listen to his owner's voice. @ With a brother who has single-sided deafness, Dolan knew about bone conduction headphones, which worked "incredibly well" for him. These wireless headphones rest on a user's cheekbones. Instead of using the eardrum to transmit sound, they vibrate the bones of the skull, sending soundwaves. The family raved about these headphones, with Dolan getting a pair for herself, and then a lightbulb went off: "What if these could help Rhino too?" The video posted to her TikTok account @ last week shows Rhino using these special headphones for the first time. Dolan recorded herself talking, placed the headphones on Rhino and watched in anticipation for a response. As soon as Rhino's eyes lit up, she knew it had worked. "The moment he paused and looked at me, I just knew he could hear my voice again," she said. "I got choked up—it was like going back to his puppy days." Seeing Rhino's reaction to her voice was an emotional moment for both Dolan and her husband. She said they do not have children so they view their dogs as part of the family. Rhino has been with them through multiple stages of life, which makes watching him adjust to hearing loss an especially heartbreaking experience for the couple. While Dolan and her brother use the headphones daily, she said it's more of a special experience when they put them on Rhino to listen. But it could happen more often as Dolan said the company that makes the headphones, Shokz, saw her video and offered to send Rhino his own custom pair, engraved with his name. "I can't wait to share more moments of Rhino when they arrive," Dolan said. "I hope Rhino's story brings some hope to others with aging or hearing-impaired pets. It's moments like this that remind us how powerful connection really is. Even when things change, love always finds a way." Viewer Reactions The video has gained over 2.4 million views and 351,900 likes on TikTok, plus hundreds of comments. "He was so excited to hear your voice again," wrote one viewer. Another added: "Awee his eyes when he heard youd, 'Woah I can hear.'" A third person posted: "This is so wholesome! My heart!" "This literally made me tear up! What a sweet baby," one TikToker said.
