Tears at What Owner Does for Dog Who Loves People Watching: 'Had To Help'

A video capturing a dog owner's "sweet" gesture for her pup who loves people watching has gone viral on TikTok.
The clip was shared by Charlotte Biseth (@charlottebiseth) and has amassed more than 1.3 million views since it was posted on May 20.
Text overlaid on the video reads: "My dog loves people watching but can't find the perfect spot." The clip shows a black Labrador resting his head on a ledge while sitting up on a bench. He is later seen laying on a floor, joined by a dog-shaped plush doll, while peeping through a slit at the bottom of a fence.
"So I had to help him out," the text continues, as Biseth is shown drawing a circle across two panels on the fence before using a hand saw to carve out a lookout hole.
The owner later encourages the pup to check out his new peep hole, and the dog is shown poking his head through it before the clip ends.
The pup's love for people watching comes as no surprise as Labradors have an "innate eagerness," describes the American Kennel Club (AKC), the world's largest purebred dog registry.
The "famously friendly" Labrador breed is known to "socialize well with neighbor dogs and humans alike," the AKC says.
Their easygoing personality, however, should not be mistaken for low energy. "The Lab is an enthusiastic athlete that requires lots of exercise, like swimming and marathon games of fetch, to keep physically and mentally fit," the AKC notes.
While some dogs, such as the one in the viral clip, might love laying low for people watching, keeping our canine friends active is important for their health.
An August 2022 study published in PLOS One noted that "dogs who exercise less frequently or less intensely are more likely to be overweight …" and "a more holistic approach to changing both dietary and exercise routine needs to be made" to both treat and prevent obesity in dogs.
'So Sweet'
Viewers on TikTok were delighted by the dog owner's thoughtful gesture for her pup.
SallyM said: "I love the way he immediately understood that it was his spot to people watch."
JenniePan wrote, "This is SO sweet!" and another user, known as me, simply said: "omg [oh my God] priceless. love."
Luna Mc noted, "His little face," while perky.bliss said it's "Such a great idea for your friend."
User @test.kunde3 wrote: "you are a wonderful dog mommy."
🇭🇺 Bella 🇭🇺 noted, "he needs a hole to lie down and watch," and the original poster replied: "More holes is coming."
User enri added: "So sweet. But the hole for the plushie is still missing." The original poster replied: "Coming up."
Newsweek has contacted the original poster for comment via TikTok. This video has not been independently verified.

Beyoncé kicks off international shows in London with Les Twins by her side
Beyoncé kicks off international shows in London with Les Twins by her side Beyoncé Knowles-Carter launched the international leg of her "Cowboy Carter" tour, and many fans were excited to see a set of special twins dancing behind her. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 5 London show on the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium around 7:39 p.m. local time — the earliest yet. And fans in the stadium and watching online were in for a treat when they noticed Les Twins — Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois — dancing onstage with her. Fans instantly flooded social media with excitement. One fan wrote, "Omg they are back. I hope they come to the DC. show." Another exclaimed, "OMG THE TWINS," and many others cosigned. Born in Sarcelles, France, Les Twins have become known as Beyoncé's other set of twins, along with her 7-year-old children Sir and Rumi Carter. Les Twins have collaborated with her on numerous occasions, dancing alongside her on major stages, tours and videos. Some of those include the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in 2013, Beychella in 2018 and the Renaissance World Tour in 2023. On the "Cowboy Carter" tour, daughter Rumi has been making nightly appearances to wave to the crowd along with her sister, Blue Ivy Carter, during the song "Protector." Sir has not appeared, and neither had Les Twins, until June 5. Until lo and behold they performed at the first international stop. It's unclear if they will remain throughout the duration of the tour. Beyoncé was set to perform at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a total of six nights. She was poised to hit the stage June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 16. After her six-night stint, she will head to Paris for three nights. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary.

Man brags he could run a marathon on 24 hour notice with no training — and proves it
A woman signed her husband up for a marathon with 24 hours notice after he bragged he could complete 26.2 miles without any training. Maisie Todd, 31, put her husband Logan's name down for the Rock 'n' Roll marathon in San Diego on May 31 after he 'kept bringing up' how he could finish the course with no training. Surprising him 24 hours before the big day on June 1, 2025, Logan, 32, prepped by eating peanut butter sandwiches, stretching and drinking lots of water. He went on to finish in an impressive time of five hours 58 minutes – running the first 10 miles without a break – with supportive Maisie posting regular updates of the whole experience on social media. Logan, a software engineer, from San Diego, California, US, said: 'Being woken up at 6am on a Saturday [with the surprise] didn't feel good. 7 Maisie Todd, 31, put her husband Logan's name down for the Rock 'n' Roll marathon in San Diego on May 31.

'I did sports in high school but ever since I graduated, I haven't been very active. 7 Surprising him 24 hours before the big day on June 1, 2025, Logan, 32, prepped by eating peanut butter sandwiches. Maisie Todd / SWNS 'I started running and jogging and did that for about 10 miles and felt surprisingly good about it the whole time. 'I ran into a bunch of people that had seen me on TikTok the day before, and they cheered me on. 'I knew I was going to finish so it just became a mind game of how I was going to get there.' Maisie planned the surprise in April after talking with friends about signing Logan up for one out of the blue.

Logan said: 'I knew that I had to carb load and so I went out and got a bunch of stuff we don't usually have in like peanut butter and bread. 'I just ate as much as I thought I could.

'You can finish a marathon with 24 hours' notice. 7 Smashing his goal of seven hours, Logan was relieved to finish the route. Maisie Todd / SWNS 'The day after was not good, everything hurt.

Meet the Kardashians' plastic surgeons responsible for Kris Jenner's new face and Kylie's 'teardrop' curves
Kylie Jenner recently shared details of her breast augmentation, including her surgeon. Kris Jenner also confirmed her plastic surgeon, speculated to be the one behind her facelift. Dr. Garth Fisher and Dr. Steven Levine are their plastic surgeons with cutting-edge techniques. While most celebrities stay tight-lipped about their plastic surgeons, Kylie Jenner surprised fans by doing the opposite: listing exactly what she got done, down to her implant size and plastic surgeon. It all started when TikToker Rachel Leary posted a video asking Kylie to share details of her surgery. "Please, can you just tell me/us/anyone that's interested, what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?" Leary said. "It's the most perfect, natural-looking boob job ever." About a day later, Jenner, 27, responded. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in a comment. The Kardashians and Jenners are no strangers to plastic surgery, or to public speculation about what they've done. But between Kylie Jenner's TikTok comment and Kris Jenner recently confirming her plastic surgeon, the family is becoming a little more open about the men behind their updates. Dr. Garth Fisher, a board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, has been the go-to plastic surgeon of half the KarJenners for years. He's been practicing for over 20 years. Known for his breast augmentation technique (which favors a more natural-looking teardrop shape over a circular look), he performed the surgery for both Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian. Fisher is also popular for his trademarked "pinnacle facelift," a more customized and minimally invasive facelift that avoids skin looking too pulled-back or pinched. Prior to her viral facelift, Kris Jenner got a pinnacle facelift from Fisher. He also revised a facelift for Caitlyn Jenner prior to her transition, which was shown in an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Fisher has appeared on "ABC's Extreme Makeover" and has been ranked as one of America's top doctors by Castle Connolly, a healthcare research company. Kris Jenner, 69, is a client of Dr. Steven M. Levine, a New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon who does everything from eyelid lifts to breast implants. He opened his private practice in 2019. A year later, during the pandemic, he was so in demand that some clients offered to pay double or let him stay in their Hamptons home for a month, according to People. While Jenner has been less open than her daughter about the exact procedures she's undergone, some speculate that she had a deep-plane facelift, where a layer of connective tissue between the skin and facial muscles is lifted to provide a more drastic, longer-lasting outcome. While it's unknown how much Jenner paid, Levine told People back in 2020 that his facial work starts at $45,000. Levine has been ranked as one of the top doctors in the NYC area. New York Magazine also named him one of the top doctors for several years in a row. The Kardashians haven't always raved about their surgeons' work. Some have regretted past plastic surgery. In a 2023 episode of "The Kardashians," Kylie Jenner said she regretted getting a boob job when she was 19, months before her daughter Stormi was born. She thought she looked "perfect" before and wished she "never got them done to begin with." The KarJenners being more forthcoming about their plastic surgery could be a sign that they're happier with the results. Or, as The Cut speculated, they could be launching a plastic surgery-related venture. "Dr. Levine works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder," Carol Lee, a beauty writer, wrote. "If you know anything about the Kardashians, it's that everything they do is strategic — nothing is an accident." Read the original article on Business Insider
