Woman Sees What Dog Walker Does With Pups—Has a Message for the Owners
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 woman in Boston has gained viral attention after sharing a heartwarming message for the owners of a group of dogs she saw by the water. Julie Feeney, 43, who lives just outside of Boston, posted a video that has now racked up over 2 million views. In it, she delivers a sweet shout-out to some four-legged residents—and the people who care for them. "If you live in Boston Seaport and your dogs have a dog walker, I just want to let you know that your dogs are being very, very good girls and boys and just made my whole day," Feeney said in the video, filmed near the Children's Museum in Boston's Seaport neighborhood. In the video was a group of dogs, and a professional dog walker managing the calm and cheerful pack, sitting beautifully for the camera. "I know how much people love seeing dogs, and with all the bad news in the world I hoped it would bring people some joy," Feeney told Newsweek. "I loved the reaction it got, so much positivity and so many kind comments about the dog walker."

"Hahah this made my morning. If this was one of my babies I'd be so proud of them," said viewer Liz. While Kimmy said: "That golden is putting in overtime posing that good for the camera." Fellow dog walker Hotdogwater wrote: "As a Dog Walker, I want you to know that we love your dogs just as much as you do and we have a whole secret life with them. They're like family to us." "Thank you for sharing this because it made my day," said TikToker eatbeans07. That dog walker, who is named Cris, is a bit of a local celebrity himself, well known for his dog skills. While Feeney hasn't spoken with Cris directly, she says she heard from the owner of the company he works for, Boston's Best Dog Walkers. "He told me that the dog walker Cris was very flattered by all the kind messages, and Cris has actually started his own TikTok as well where he features the dogs from my video, it is @cris_the_dog_walker," Feeney said. Newsweek reached out to @cris_the_dog_walker via TikTok for comment. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

‘Shared Custody' Is a Prickly Spanish Divorce Drama
'Shared Custody' is a light divorce drama, though it is perhaps better seen as a cellphone drama: the buzzing, the ringing, the texting, the 'just one second,' the deleted messages, the accidental photo uploads, the app notifications. Is everyone disconnected, or is everyone too connected? The show, on Hulu (in Spanish, with subtitles, or dubbed), follows Cris (Lorena López) and Diego (Ricard Farré) through the early stages of their divorce. They each tell their parents that they're going to do things amicably, without lawyers, and that figuring out custody of their little girl won't be that big of a headache. 'You can't do that,' Diego's father grumbles. 'And if you had gone to law school, you'd know that.' Episodes themselves have a sort of split custody. We see Cris at work, where she is told to keep her child and her separation a secret, lest she be pushed aside. Diego's client, on the other hand, declares that fathers are inherently trustworthy and that she is impressed by his family life. We see each parent on a too-boozy night with friends and how each set of abuelos is both the cause of and solution to some of the issues at hand. Cris is too rigid and selfish — or wait, Diego is too lazy and has mooched off his family and wife forever. ('I've taken two degrees worth of digital marketing courses!' he brags to a friend.) As with many shows that cattily dissect the bougie, 'Custody' includes a party held at the richest friend's ostentatiously artsy house, where all the kids are screaming and running around, and all the grow-ups are forming hostile cliques. Things boil over! As with many European shows, this one features interesting sweaters and fabulous bathroom tiles. And as with many contemporary domestic dramas, it captures the misery of being around other people's poorly behaved children. 'Custody' is not dark or brutalizing, but neither does it shy away from how quickly Cris and Diego can take a whisper of disagreement and turn it into an opera of 'you are in fact just like your parents, specifically in the ways you most fear and resent.' You know what, maybe we should get lawyers after all.

Former Brazil defender turned manager Cris causes uproar with misogynistic comments during pep talk
CHATEAUROUX, France (AP) — Former Brazil center back Cris, now the manager of third-tier French club La Berrichonne de Châteauroux, has offered apologies for the misogynistic comments he made in front of his players during a pep talk last week. The club said on Wednesday it regrets the words used by Cris 'in a private location' but supported the coach because 'his words do not reflect Cris' human and professional values.' Last-place Châteauroux travelled to Quevilly-Rouen on Friday and secured an important 2-1 win. The club later posted on social networks a video of Cris' pre-match talk that went viral. The former Lyon defender, who earned 17 caps with Brazil during his playing career, can be seen in the locker room as he tries to motivate his players by comparing them to men on a night out aiming to have sex with women. 'When you go to a club, you meet a girl, you look at her and you want to (expletive) her,' he said. 'That's the way it is today. We need to look at them in the face to (expletive) them.' Cris went on to use more expletives and clichés linked to masculine virility to urge his players to be up to the task. The club said that Cris offered apologies for his 'clumsy' words and published a statement from the coach. 'I recognize that my comments were inappropriate,' he said. 'My intention was to motivate my players, but I realize that the language used was inappropriate and does not reflect the values of respect that I uphold.' The club added it finds 'unfortunate' that the video posted by its communications department was not more carefully considered and apologized for the reaction it caused. 'However, Cris has always shown great respect for the club, its players and supporters,' Châteauroux said. 'La Berrichonne de Châteauroux and its chairman Benjamin Gufflet would like to reiterate their commitment to respect for all, and women in particular.' ___

30 Home Decor Items That Give 'Expensive Showroom' But Are Actually From Amazon
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Everyone will think you have a limitless West Elm, Pottery Barn, and Z Gallerie budget. 1. A pleated statement lamp sporting a chic zigzag style you might have seen at West Elm, but at a price that won't make your wallet cry. It's perfect for your nightstand, adding just the right amount of playful flair without clashing with your decor. Promising review: "Exceeds expectations! I've been searching for months for nightstand lamps! I fell in love when I saw them, fell in more love when I got them!! Beautiful!!!!!" — Amazon Customer 2. A full-length irregular mirror here to blend functionality with a statement-making design. It's framed in plush fabric that elevates any room to a whole new level of chic. If you aren't afraid to express your unique style, bag this bad boy uh-me-di-ate-ly. 👏👏 3. A ceiling medallion if you've ever walked into a room and felt like it was just missing something. This beautiful, ornamental centerpiece is made to frame your chandelier (or any lighting fixture) like a crown jewel. Imagine the grandeur of a Victorian home, even if your apartment was built in the early 2000s and lacks any discernible architectural charm. Trust me, this is your ticket to Bridgerton -level opulence! This is available in a large collection of colors, but several reviewers mention that it's easy to paint if you'd like the color to be just so. Promising review:"These medallions were much prettier than I expected and were super smooth for reception of paint. It took me a few days to decide on the color placement and style, as they will be in rooms that are visible to one another. Pre-colored medallions are expensive; doing it myself saved me money I used to upgrade my chandeliers." — Cris 4. A pair of sleek motion-sensor cabinet lights to instantly brighten up your kitchen. They're easy to install thanks to their magnetic adhesive strip, *plus* they're battery-powered so you can simply remove and recharge the battery as needed. Promising review:"I loved having these excellent magnetic attachments so I can move them around and turn them on to charge them and it has a high-end look. Battery life is also excellent and sticks to any metal surface. Definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made." — Luis R 5. A beautifully crafted Baroque mirror that people will think you found at a vintage auction. Promising review:"All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It's heavy and not cheap looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it's done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don't hesitate buying this gem, you need it!" — Celeste C 6. Battery-powered picture lights (no wiring needed!) to elegantly draw attention to wall decor, creating the feeling of an intimate art gallery in your home. Now you can stand back, glass of wine in hand, to gaze at the picture of a cat driving a fire truck that your 5-year-old drew for you, all lit up to really reflect the emotions of the artist. You'll need three AA batteries! Promising review: "We have a 160-year-old home with 12-foot plaster ceilings! These lights were great because we didn't have to tear up walls to run wiring and also because they are powerful enough to illuminate the whole length of the wall. Very aesthetic! Highly recommend!" — Ameila Von 7. A flameless glass candle set sure to ~ignite~ the perfect ambiance and enhance any room with a warm and cozy glow. It comes with a handy remote featuring dimming, timer, and on/off controls so you can enjoy all the beauty of traditional candles without any of the worries around lighting an open flame. Amazon Each candle requires two AA batteries and offers 350+ hours of battery life. Promising review:"I really love these candles. They look so real. The timers worked great and the brightness control worked great too. The glass looks made of quality material and there is no worry about a flame. I plan on buying another set and color for my bathroom." — Lady J 8. A Diana the Huntress bust that would captivate even the gods themselves. Picture it gracing your study or adorning the side table in your living room, patiently waiting to be admired and cherished by all who gaze upon its magnificence. Promising review: "I wanted a conversation piece on my mantle and this one spoke to me. Not too heavy, feels like smooth plaster. It's nicely detailed. Looks nice as a stackable piece." — Lori g. 9. A quilted chenille floor pillow, which can double as a large chair cushion when you're snuggled up reading a book, or a floor pillow if you want to do a lil' morning meditation. Promising review:"This comes just as pictured and described. It is comfortable and looks luxurious. It's great for floor seating." — AKhan Price: $37.49+ (available in eight colors and another style). 10. A faux olive tree just begging to be added to that lonely corner in your room. This is a perf alternative if you want to add a little greenery to your space without having to deal with a real tree that needs to be watered. It's so convincing that you might find yourself reaching out to pluck those olives off the branches, only to realize they're not quite the snack you were expecting. Promising review: "I am glad I bought this olive tree and not the one from Pottery Barn that was double the price. It looks great in my den. You will need another pot though. I used a bigger one and added rocks around it. The moss is real and removable, which was a nice surprise. The olives look real and the leaves can be fluffed out and turned depending on how full you want it to look." — Love Reading 11. A set of multifunctional velvet ottomans that function as plush extra seating, but flip the lid and you'll reveal a stunning wood tabletop — perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a mid-day snack. Lift off the top, and you'll also have extra storage for those cute throw blankets and magazines! Amazon 12. Some faux pampas grass plumes guaranteed to take your living space to a whole new realm of elegance, perfect for someone as fabulous as yourself. Promising review:"I love these faux pampas. They're such good quality. The best thing is that they don't shed like real pampas. I highly recommend this product. It's so on-trend and makes for beautiful statement and decor." — jazG 13. Along with a set of negative-space vases, an eccentric and sophisticated piece of decor that plays a bit of a trick on the eyes. Plus, it's super low-effort: Just stick a flower or two in each one, and you're good to go. Promising review:"These are much better quality than I expected. The vases are very sturdy as well as the glass vases that come with them. I'm thinking of buying more." — Amazon Customer 14. A beaded bohemian chandelier that's not just an icon, but a legend, a true statement maker — all of the words! This stunning piece could cost a fortune elsewhere, but guess what? You managed to grab it for an absolute steal, honey! Promising review: " Love this light fixture! I have it in my kitchen. Really adds to the boho vibe. If you have a handyman around I'm sure they could install it. My husband did it in about an hour or so. Beware: It is rather large and in charge, but beautiful! May not suit a small area. In addition, the light bulbs it comes with are not dimmable so you may want to purchase three of those if you need it to dim. Very happy with the purchase overall!" — Sierra Price: $110.88+ (available in three colors). 15. A luxuriously soft duvet set, complete with a 100% jersey knit cotton cover and two matching shams, that will revamp your bedroom and make you want to lounge in bed for ages. (Seriously, who could resist?) Amazon Be sure to snag an insert for this duvet cover if needed! Promising review:"It works awesome, the corner ties save me from having to adjust it every morning. It's soft and cozy. I tried this duvet cover with a single duvet insert and with two duvet inserts (if you want your bed to feel like a hotel bed, that is the move), and either way very cozy." — Rhiannon M. 16. A set of amber soap dispensers that'll give your bathroom or kitchen counter a luxe aesthetic (even if they're filled with soap you got at the dollar store). Plus, refilling these is cheaper than buying new bottles of hand soap every time you run out! Promising review: "These are amazing soap dispensers. The amber glass is sturdy and strong, and the pump works great. They're easy to fill and they look so good on your bathroom or kitchen countertop. Highly recommend!" — Emily 17. A set of two velvet throw pillow covers available in dozens of shades to tie into your color scheme — they'll add a touch of warmth and comfort to your couch or bed and give your home a magazine-worthy aesthetic. Amazon These are just pillow covers, so don't forget the pillow inserts, if you need them. Tip: For optimal fluffiness, pick inserts that are 2 inches larger than your covers. Promising review:"I love these pillowcases! They are way nicer than I expected for the price. They are soft, wash well, and look more expensive than the price. I'm super happy with my purchase. I was kinda iffy on buying them, but I went ahead and did it because I knew I could return them if I didn't like them, but I was actually pleasantly surprised." — Amanda 18. An exquisite decorative wood tray, the perfect way to showcase your favorite candles, coasters, and tiny trinkets that change with every holiday season. Crafted with raised edges to keep everything in place, its sleek and understated design will complement any decor style you fancy. Amazon Promising review:"I bought this tray to use in my tea bar area next to my Keurig. The fact that it is round really compliments the curve of the front of my Keurig and fits very well in a squared off corner space. Just an FYI that the inside dimension excluding the 'lip' is roughly 10.5" in diameter. So, keep this in mind as you are trying to stage it. it looks great when set up with other rounded-edge something made of clear glass and acacia to match." — TheRealGirlGenius 19. Or an antique decorative mirror tray offering an elegant way to show off your favorite perfumes, makeup, or jewelry.

Promising review:"These curtains are beautiful! They're even more beautiful in person. Love the velvet touch, plus the emerald color looks so elegant. Before you hang them, I would advice you steam them to get the wrinkles out. I can't wait to get another color! You'll be happy with your purchase." — Alex 21. A wooden beaded garland that allows you to get creative while adding some farmhouse chic vibes to your space, whether you wrap it around a vase, casually drape it on a coffee table, or add it to a bookshelf. Promising review: " Love, love, love! It's the perfect farmhouse accent! It's versatile and very pretty. It's not long enough to run my mantle length, but I've had several uses for it so far. It just brings pretty to any space you want to pop. It's thick, but not too thick either, and the beads are smooth and well-made." — May@36 Price: $10.49 22.

I was a little worried about the quality because of the low price but I really had nothing to worry about. It is an excellent-quality lamp. The base is very heavy so it wont easily tip over, which is a problem with another similar-style lamp I have in my living room. You can adjust the light to just about any direction, which is also a nice feature. I purchased this to light my desk area. It turns off and on via a touch sensor and also dims to different levels. The light itself is very bright and I can see this being an ideal lamp for crafting while sitting in a rocking chair or on the sofa." — Happy in the OC
