Owner Asks Internet Why Dog Is 'So Sneaky,' What They Capture 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 "terrifying" dog sneaking up on his owner has captivated—and spooked—internet viewers. A dog owner, Nicole, who uses the TikTok tag @nicocohoh0, posted a video of her pet's unusual—and slightly scary—behavior. The clip has received over 572,000 likes and more than 2.8 million views on the platform. Overlaying the footage, Nicole wrote: "Can someone explain to me why my dog is so sneaky?" In the caption, she added: "It's actually a little terrifying …" The video shows the blond dog, Milo, peeking around the side of a door frame, staring intently at their owner, and sticking one leg out. TikTok users were quick to respond to the peculiar scene. "Have you heard of skinwalkers?" asked Brandon Vega. "He looks like the skinwalker dog," posted Harper. "My girl does this too! She drops a Frisbee, runs behind a bush and peeks. Such a little weirdo," shared one user. "The leg is fryyying me," added another. Stock image: A golden retriever peeks from behind the door. Stock image: A golden retriever peeks from behind the door. chendongshan/iStock / Getty Images Plus What Are Skinwalkers? Experts at HowStuffWorks say that, in Navajo (Diné) folklore, a skinwalker is an evil witch who can transform into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal. Known as yee naaldlooshii—meaning "with it, he goes on all fours"—skinwalkers are often said to take the form of coyotes, wolves, foxes, or bears, though they can appear as any animal. Skinwalkers are believed to possess supernatural powers, including extreme speed, mimicry, mind control, and the ability to place curses. In animal form, their eyes may glow red when illuminated, adding to their fearsome reputation. More TikTok Reactions "I wasn't scared until I saw how long he is," posted user Demi. "We had a Doberman who did this, she used to hide behind the garage and sneak around when she'd hear my husband coming. He used to try to sneak down to her, but he never caught her out. She'd jump out and come with the tail wagging and jump up on him," commented Angela. "The chances of being stalked by your own golden retriever are low, but never zero," added Kara. "You sure he isn't hunting you," asked another user. Newsweek reached out to @nicocohoh0 for comment via TikTok. We could not verify the details of the case.

Dog's Adoption Goes Wrong—Tears at What She Still Does: 'Heart of Gold'
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 rescue dog named Bonnie has been making waves online after she was returned to her foster home and whined constantly—sparking concern. Her carer, Amy Waddington (@amywaddington3), posted a TikTok clip showing the beige pooch sitting on the couch and letting out a steady cry. The footage has been liked almost 20,000 times and viewed over 256,000 times on the platform. In text overlay on the video, Waddington said: "Bonnie often seems unsettled. She makes this noise a lot. It's one of the reasons her adoption failed." Waddington later told followers that Bonnie had already played in the garden and had breakfast before the video was filmed. "I'm sat with her, but she seems so unsettled," she said. @amywaddington3 Bonnie is our foster dog from Romania. She was with us for a few weeks in Sept 2024 and then she was adopted for six months. The adoption didn't work out for a number of reasons and she's been back with us for six months now. Bonnie isn't the easiest of dogs but she does have a heart of gold under all the noise and bravado. She often whines when we are sitting and resting. She doesn't seem unhappy but she does seem restless. She's such a busy dog, I often wonder, can dogs have ADHD or is there a canine equivalent? We do play time with her, she has good walks, she's got three other dogs to play with and a heap of enrichment toys. We share lots of fun videos of Bonnie, I thought I'd share something a little different. Helpful and kind thoughts and advice is welcomed 🥰🙏🏻. #Bonnieandme #rescuedog #fyp #dogtraining #bekind ♬ Kitchen Fan Lullaby (Raw) - Claire Boyer Bonnie's journey has been far from straightforward. Waddington said that she is a foster dog from Romania who first stayed with them for a few weeks in September 2024. Bonnie was then adopted for six months, but the placement didn't work out, and she has now been back in Waddington's care for another half-year. "Bonnie isn't the easiest of dogs, but she does have a heart of gold under all the noise and bravado," Waddington said. "She often whines when we are sitting and resting. She doesn't seem unhappy but she does seem restless. She's such a busy dog … Helpful and kind thoughts and advice is welcomed." Amber Batteiger is an animal emergency services and disaster relief expert and PR and communications manager at Embrace Pet Insurance. She told Newsweek that excessive whining or crying is "very common" in newly adopted rescue dogs. Stock image: A brown dog rests on the couch. Stock image: A brown dog rests on the couch. Miguel Romero/iStock / Getty Images Plus She said that vocalization is "rarely just 'for attention'—it's a form of communication rooted in anxiety, uncertainty, confusion, or unmet needs." Batteiger said crying can be triggered by separation anxiety, adjustment stress, or physical discomfort, and, sometimes, it is simply the dog trying to make sense of their new environment. She advised pet parents to observe when the whining occurs—whether it is during transitions, when the dog is left alone, or alongside pacing and panting—which can indicate distress. If the whining is tied to being ignored or wanting interaction, then it may still be a sign of emotional insecurity. Batteiger added that canines thrive on structure and routine, recommending a predictable schedule and a safe space to decompress. Reinforcing calm behavior, practicing low-key arrivals and departures, and following the "3-3-3 rule"—three days to decompress, three weeks to learn the routine, and three months to feel at home—can help. "If the crying is persistent, intense, or accompanied by other signs of distress, like refusal to eat, destructive behavior, or self-injury, the pet parents need to talk to a veterinarian or behaviorist," Batteiger said. She added that rescue dogs may arrive with "emotional baggage" but also have "an incredible capacity to heal and to love deeply." The video sparked a wave of comments from TikTok users offering their experiences and theories. "Our borzoi boy also is a bit whiny and unsettled sometimes when we rest, especially in the evenings. Even when exercised well, fed and happy. We found out that we just need to howl with him for 5 minutes or so. We call them our evening 'complaints' so every evening the whole family howls together and he's happy after," one user wrote. "Maybe she is pining for another dog she was with in her previous country," another posted. "She might not be stimulated enough, I would definitely try and make some brain activities with her. Some dogs just need more stuff to do than others to settle all the way down. My dog does similar when he's bored or he wants to do stuff," said Christinna. "I think she doesn't know how to rest—it's trauma related, humans get it as well. Just be patient and try and have very set routine," Lou commented.

Dog Person Adopts Kitten, Quickly Discovers Key Difference: 'Help?'
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 self-described "dog person" who recently rescued a kitten has taken to Reddit for help with their mischievous new companion. Redditor u/SnowboardingEgg shared their experience in the subreddit cats, where their post quickly gained 25,000 upvotes. "Saw this stray rescue pop up on my FB so I picked her up last week. Learned after I brought her into work to show co workers that she's a torti [tortoishell] and apparently they're kinda special in their own way. She is the most cuddly cat I've ever seen, she's attached to my hip," he wrote. They explained that they had grown up with dogs but, after moving away for a new job and finding themselves without pets to visit, decided to adopt one of their own. While Labradors and Rottweilers were their favorite breeds, they felt a large dog wouldn't be fair in a small apartment with their full-time work schedule. The new owner's main question to Reddit was: "How can I discipline her when she's in her 'menace' mode?" They said a coworker had recommended a spray bottle, but while it made her run off, she would quickly return to cuddle before going back to mischief, such as destroying toilet paper or chewing power cables. While she behaved well when left alone during work hours, but when he comes home, she starts to play up. They wondered whether time-outs in the bathroom or confining her to a safe room might help teach her not to destroy things. Amber Batteiger, an animal emergency services and disaster relief expert and PR and communications manager at Embrace Pet Insurance, told Newsweek that tortoiseshells with "tortitude" are "in a league of their own. "They are super fun, bold, and often chaotic. While not a clinical term, 'tortitude' captures the mix of sass and personality torties can bring into a home. "Shredding toilet paper and chewing cords aren't signs of a 'bad' cat. They're signs of a smart, curious one who's still adjusting," she said.

Liubov Kaplitskaya/iStock / Getty Images Plus Batteiger emphasized the "3-3-3 rule" for rescue pets: "about three days for a rescue cat to decompress, three weeks to start learning the household routine, and three months to feel truly at home." Mischief during this time, she said, is often just part of figuring things out. Instead of punishment, which can damage trust, she recommended redirection and enrichment. Spray bottles, she said, don't teach—they just scare. Alternatives include wand toys, puzzle feeders, cat trees, cord protectors, and chew-safe items like silvervine sticks. She advised rewarding calm and curious behavior: "She's not trying to be difficult. She is just trying to connect and figure out her surrounding. With patience, play, and a little structure, she'll settle in and become a wonderful companion." Other Redditors chimed in with their own advice. "Cats truly don't understand discipline. Really only option is to cat proof as much as possible. And exhaust her with play. Experts recommend adopting kittens in pairs because it can help a bit with the menace mode. They do eventually chill out (well, are special!)," said one cat owner. "They're monsters for certain but completely worth it. My demon calmed down at about six months. She still terrorizes her older brothers, but we redirect her towards toys. They'd last longer if she were dumber, but interactive chase toys have been a life saver. As has Jackson Galaxy's play–feed–bathe–sleep. She'll get used to your routine and settle in except for her torti-tude," wrote another. Another commenter noted the importance of positive reinforcement: "On the flip side they understand rewards and positive reinforcement very well. The best way to get a cat to stop doing a certain behavior is to disengage, wait a min or two, then redirect their attention to a desired behavior and reward them when they engage in the desired behavior."
