‘Escape artist' dog is a ‘local celebrity' in NC. Now, Cannoli will need a home
A dog has a 'reputation as an escape artist' — and is a 'local celebrity' in North Carolina. Now, the daring pup will need a new owner who makes sure to close their doors. 'He just loves adventure and any opportunity for escape, he'll try and take it,' Martina Spain, his foster mom, told McClatchy News in a May 16 phone interview. 'So, we are extra secure on all of our locks.' The Triangle Beagle Rescue of North Carolina expects Cannoli the dog to be available for adoption around May 21. He was rescued in April, after a woman found him roaming Chatham County roads and pulled over to help, according to Spain and an email from the rescue's marketing coordinator, Leann Tenbusch. 'Though sweet and friendly, Cannoli quickly earned a reputation as an escape artist — he sniffed out every weak spot in fences and managed to slip away from even the most watchful homes,' the Raleigh-area rescue wrote in a Facebook post. Eventually, Cannoli landed with his current foster mom, who lives in an apartment with a layout that makes escapes difficult. He's described as a roughly 2- to 4-year-old pup who 'greets every person like a friend.' 'Cannoli is a young, smart, and extra beagley beagle with a big personality and an even bigger heart,' rescuers wrote. 'He's incredibly vocal, especially on walks, and isn't shy about letting you (and the neighborhood) know what he wants. Luckily, his foster's community loves a good beagle bark, and Cannoli has become something of a local celebrity.' In addition to his barking, Cannoli reached celebrity status in his Durham neighborhood due to his friendliness and walks with his foster mom's well-known beagle, Luna Pearl. Spain said someone even recently recognized him across town. As of May 20, the rescue's website listed Cannoli as being available for adoption soon. Details about the rescue's adoption process can be found at 'Cannoli is adaptable, brave, and affectionate — a perfect mix of silly, snuggly, and smart,' the rescue wrote. 'With the right home that understands the beagle spirit (and a good escape-proof setup!), Cannoli will be the most loyal and loving companion.'

The video has racked up more than 660,000 views and over 89,000 likes since it was posted on May 7. Viewers were able to see Cannoli racing into the sunshine, with his ears flapping, tail wagging, and body bounding forward at full throttle. His uncontainable joy has turned a modest home move into a viral celebration. An overlaid text on the footage had added more context: "Our apartment dog seeing our new house and yard for the first time." In a follow-up video posted the following day, viewers got another look at Cannoli, this time as he leisurely explored his new backyard. The dog, previously living in an apartment, now had an entire patch of outdoor space and open sky to call his own. That second post added to the growing affection for Cannoli, leading to more views and comments from delighted viewers. "People used to do this for their kid," one viewer posted. Another added: "I need to see your dog outside in the backyard." "Oh I know the naps in those sunspots are going to slap," a third viewer shared. "Your dog matches your floor color," one comment added. "Adorable." "It looks like he's shaking [with] excitement," another read. "My senior dachshund spent his last three years in my house with a yard once I bought it and he couldn't have been happier, he lived his last few years in total peace," one poster commented. "Not me seeing this on the exact day we move from a townhouse to real home with a backyard [and] my weens get to experience it for the first time just like this," another said. "I can't wait for this with my pupper," a third added. "He deserves all the space for zoomies." Newsweek reached out to @sarahzetsnalley for more information via TikTok.

'I'm a vet and there's only 10 dog breeds I'd own - here's why they're the best'
The expert's choices have sparked a debate on social media A vet with a decade of experience has revealed her top 10 dog breeds she'd choose to own, highlighting their unique needs and personalities. Saddy, known on TikTok as @saddy542020, has been using the platform to educate her followers about what to expect when bringing a dog into their family. Acknowledging that every breed comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, she shares that these 10 are her personal favourites for various reasons, including their overall temperament and the positive impact they can have on your life. In her post, she said: "We see lots of posts about breeds vet professionals wouldn't own, and while I agree with the majority of them, I feel like it's time to see the opposite of the narrative! "All breeds have their unique personalities and health issues, but that shouldn't be the end all, be all. Again, this is personal preference based on personal experience and others don't have to agree." Kicking off her list, the vet recommends golden retrievers as an excellent choice, describing them as the "definition of man's best friends". She praises them for being "extremely versatile, eager to please" and having the "best smoosh faces". Following on, she highlights pitbull terriers as another top pick due to their "powerful but gentle" nature. She notes they come with "scary dog privilege" and are particularly favoured by vets for their affectionate personalities, reports Surrey Live. Saddy has praised greyhounds as a "gentle and sweet natured" breed, noting their love for lounging on the sofa after a quick outdoor sprint. She also gave a nod to collies and borzois for their endearing personalities and striking looks. Boxers were hailed as "some of the happiest dogs alive" by Saddy, with Australian shepherd dogs earning praise for being "bright and alert". Rounding off her list, she highlighted Irish setters, Irish wolfhounds, and Cardigan Welsh corgis for their affectionate natures and cheerful dispositions. In response to her post, one user said: "Labrador Retriever....I'll never own another breed." Another shared an emotional encounter: "I met an Irish wolfhound once and I cried because he was so glorious." A third contributor expressed a longing sentiment: "I love Irish wolfhounds but I've never even met one." dog. "Everyone thinks they're such an easy breed but they're quite the opposite, super boisterous - overrated in my personal opinion!". Another chimed in with personal affection: "My pitbull is my soul dog. Literally would die for him and he would me. Also have a corgi and she is the best girl ever." And finally, a user gratefully acknowledged the mention of their pet: "My cardigan welsh corgi Cannoli says thank you for the shout out. I was told they are 'corgis with an off switch' and that was spot-on. He's currently passed out on my feet."

Joe Gatto's dog rescue shelter announces rebrand amid sexual assault allegations against the comedian
Joe Gatto and his wife Bessy's dog rescue shelter is making a major change to the company. The New York-based shelter shared a post to Instagram on Monday to announce that it was changing its name from Gatto Pups and Friends to Cannoli's Sweet Life Senior Rescue. The post also included a statement from Bessy, who said the name change was inspired by her senior dog, Cannoli, who motivated her to start the rescue shelter. Bessy's announcement comes days after Joe canceled his tour and entered an inpatient facility after multiple women accused him of sexual assault. Last month, Joe responded to the allegations against him by saying he had 'used poor judgment' in the past but 'wouldn't assault anyone.' In the caption of Cannoli's Sweet Life Senior Rescue's Instagram post, the business reflected on some of the goals it continues to work toward. 'Cannoli's Sweet Life Senior Rescue is here to continue being what this rescue and page were only ever designed for—saving the lives of senior dogs in need, and finding their forever homes. Now, we are just focusing a bit more on the dogs that helped get us here,' the caption read. In her statement, Bessy reflected on the change she's 'made in the lives of senior dogs,' after adopting a few of them herself. Although she ultimately realized she wanted to do more, which led to the start of her rescue, none of that would have been possible without 'one special problem dog' in her life: Cannoli. 'There would be none of this had there never been her,' she wrote. 'So, I'm writing today to invite you to join me in a new chapter of my journey in dog rescue, with a more intentional focus on the reason I started doing this in the first place. I'd like to welcome you all to what will now be known as Cannoli's Sweet Life Senior Rescue.' Bessy also shared a video of herself and Cannoli, who was adopted at 12 weeks old. However, Cannoli ended up spending more time at the vet than at home, which is how Bessy learned about puppy mills. 'A year later, I started going to shelters to stop supporting places that utilize puppy mills and to rescue dogs that survived,' she added. The Independent has reached out to Joe and Bessy for comment. Last month, a TikTok user, who posted under the name joozyb, accused Joe of sexual assault. She said she met Joe in Milwaukee in 2023 when she was 19. She claimed that she began texting him after approaching him in a restaurant in the hopes of getting a free ticket to his show. Joe allegedly gave her a pair of tickets and the two continued to exchange texts after his gig. She claimed that he eventually invited her to his hotel room and that she went, at which time 'some stuff happened.' She declined to go into detail about what occurred, but shared screenshots purportedly showing exchanges with the comedian, as well as a bruise that she claimed he gave her. 'I got sexually assaulted by Joe Gatto, the Impractical Joker,' Joozy claimed in one of her subsequent posts that day. Joe issued a statement on March 22 to deny these claims. 'I have used poor judgment and as a result have violated the trust of the people I love most,' Joe said in the statement reported by Variety. 'But anyone who knows me at all knows full well that I wouldn't assault anyone. 'Working on myself is an ongoing process, and I am now going to take some time away from the public eye to focus my energies where I need to.' On March 26, he announced his plans to enter an inpatient facility and take a step back from his career. 'Having taken some time to reflect, I've decided to voluntarily enter an inpatient program to continue working on myself,' he told People, with the publication noting that he was canceling his upcoming tour dates. 'I just want to thank my friends, fans and especially my family for all of their support — never more so than over the last few days.' When announcing his departure from Impractical Jokers in 2021, he cited 'issues in my personal life' and announced he and Bessy were splitting up. However, they ultimately got back together in 2023. Bessy and Joe, who tied the knot in 2013, also share two children: Milana, nine, and Remo, seven.
