Doberman's Over-the-Top Drama When Dinner Is 6 Minutes Late Deserves an Award
Doberman's Over-the-Top Drama When Dinner Is 6 Minutes Late Deserves an Award originally appeared on Parade Pets. Let's be honest — our dogs can be divas at times. Canines want what they want when they want it, and if we don't stick to their schedule, they express their disappointment one way or another. Some precious pooches put on performances that are Oscar-worthy when their needs aren't being met the way they prefer. Case in point, this downhearted Doberman Pinscher named Luna got a bit dramatic when her dinner wasn't served on time and clearly showed her despair. In the TikTok from @misschefmandy, Luna was literally lying on the floor with the side of her face fully flat against the kitchen tiles. The look on her face was pure sadness. "Her dinner is 6 minutes late..." the onscreen text read, explaining the reason for Luna's lament. Still, this thespian is gifted with theatrics, so much so that the poster of the video captioned some special recognition. "And the Oscar for the best dramatic performance goes to... Luna!" Dogs show their emotions through body language and facial expressions. Tail-wagging is often considered as a sign of happiness, yet it can also mean frustration. A wagging tail means a canine is emotionally aroused, which falls under a wide range of feelings. The faster the wag, the more excited they are, and that isn't always good. You want to see a slow and steady wag in your dog's tail — this means they are happy and relaxed rather than fur babies have other ways they express their feelings. Raised hackles or a hunched position can be signs of stress. When a pup lies on their back, they are showing trust. Dogs also communicate through facial expressions. When a canine yawns, it doesn't necessarily mean they're tired. Pups yawn and lick their lips when they're anxious, and these actions help them calm themselves. The sad stare on Luna's face was obviously a message to her mom that a late dinner made her sad. Hopefully the pup's meal time will be more prompt in the future. 🐶🐾🐾 Doberman's Over-the-Top Drama When Dinner Is 6 Minutes Late Deserves an Award first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 9, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.

‘King Charles' the dog becomes Internet royalty in China
A shelter dog in northern China has gone viral for his unexpected yet remarkable rise to leadership—earning him the nickname 'King Charles' among netizens for his calm, commanding presence. According to South China Morning Post, the beige, medium-sized dog named Changmao ('long hair') became an internet sensation after a video showed him breaking up a fight between two dogs—not with aggression, but with quiet authority. He simply placed a paw on one dog's neck, and the tension melted away. The pack quickly submitted, and even a would-be challenger was swiftly corrected by Changmao's loyal followers. Born in 2021, Changmao was brought to a rescue shelter in Hebei province after his owner died in an accident. As a young pup, he was bullied by the shelter's dominant dog, Big Head, known for his aggression. But just eight months later, Changmao challenged and defeated him—reportedly knocking out two of Big Head's teeth—and took over as leader. His videos, shared on the popular Douyin account 'Bearded Uncle's Dog Tribe', show him patrolling the grounds, keeping the peace, and resolving disputes over food or territory without ever raising his voice—or bark. In one clip, Changmao hears distant barking and calmly walks over to investigate. Other dogs follow behind like a royal entourage. A large black Doberman immediately lowers its body in deference when he arrives—no fight necessary. Bearded Uncle, who runs the shelter and cares for over 100 stray dogs, says Changmao isn't the biggest or strongest dog, but his intelligence and leadership are unmatched. He even helped find a runaway dog by marking a scent trail that led the missing pup home the next day. Changmao's story has now attracted over 300 million views online. Admirers have flooded social media with memes and praise.
