Senior Labdrador Shaking With Excitement Over Dunkin' Pup Cup Melts Hearts
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 senior chocolate Labrador from New Hampshire has melted hearts with her adorable reaction to getting a pup cup at a local Dunkin' Donuts. Lucy, who recently turned 13, was filmed in her signature state of excitement, shaking in anticipation of getting her favorite treat. "Lucy has been chattering her teeth pretty recently," owner Abby, who didn't give a surname, told Newsweek. "She used to just chatter them when we asked if she wanted to go for a car ride or walk, but now she does it when she realizes we're pulling into Dunkin'. Her chattering shows excitement, she knows a munchkin or pup cup is coming and she just can't keep her excitement together." In the now-viral TikTok video, which amassed more than 150,000 views since being posted earlier this week, Lucy was shaking with enthusiasm as her family drives to Dunkin'. The heartwarming moment resonated with viewers, earning an outpouring of love for the older dog. Pictures of Lucy on her way to get her much-loved treat, and finally enjoying it in the car.

But it was a previous video of Lucy, also shared last week, which really struck a chord with viewers. Abby's video of her labrador racked up more than 3 million views, as Lucy does her signature teeth-chattering as they approach a drive-thru, but this time she seems to leave empty handed. "Lucy you're not getting anything," says Abby in the background. But she soon relented, as a follow-up video posted soon after confirmed: "We felt guilty and had to stop at her favorite place," leading to the joyous moment above of Lucy finally savoring her pup cup. Commenting on that video, fellow dog owner Melissa said: "Okay my dogs bday is June 4 and I'm definitely taking him to Dunkin' if that's their pup cup." While others couldn't get enough of Lucy's reaction. "The excited little jaw snaps," said katiemclaughlin. While Vintage_Fairytale11 wrote: "I can't get over how absolutely beautiful she is!! I love her." "It is the little things that make life worth living," said another viewer of the viral video. One commenter simply said: "I would die for Lucy." A pup cup, sometimes called a puppuccino, is a small treat designed especially for dogs, typically served at coffee shops, ice cream parlors, or pet-friendly events. The classic pup cup consists of a small serving of plain whipped cream or, in some cases, soft-serve vanilla ice cream, presented in a small paper or plastic cup. Dunkin' Donuts have their own version of this, often called the "cup for pup" and costing around $1—something that Lucy is a huge fan of. As Lucy enjoys her golden years, Abby hopes to share more of her daily adventures to make them as memorable as possible. "I absolutely love the reaction, Lucy deserves all the love. She is our favorite girl," she said. Earlier this week another dog went viral for his pup cup love, patiently waiting for the whipped cream treat in a heartwarming video. While another video earlier this year broke hearts as a dog had a distraught reaction to going through the wrong drive-thru and missing out on her usual pup cup.

Popular breakfast fast-food chain quietly leaks new summer menu
Although some might claim they aren't breakfast eaters, few can resist a good fast-food breakfast run before work. Just think about how many people arrive late to the office with a to-go bag in hand. Because of the increased revenue that opening for a few extra hours in the morning can generate, more chains are beginning to introduce breakfast menus. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Fast-food giants like McDonald's (MCD) and Starbucks (SBUX) have used this strategy to their advantage for decades, and other chains like Portillo's are starting to enter the breakfast market by testing it in select locations for a limited time. This week, the second part of the Dunkin' Summer 2025 menu was leaked, and this drop might be one of its largest - not just beverage-wise but also regarding food. It seems like a savvy move, as more chains are adding breakfast items to their menus. Related: Dunkin' launches surprising summer beverages to outdo Starbucks In addition to its beverage offerings, Dunkin' is introducing the new Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap. This wrap is similar to its original Bacon Egg & Cheese Wake-Up Wrap, but is stuffed with hash browns and topped with smoky chipotle aioli. The coffee chain is also adding two pastry items: the new Braided Apple Pie and the Ham & Cheese Croissant Stuffer. The Dunkin' fandom is intense, so to keep its loyal members in mind, the coffee chain is rewarding them with a new in-app exclusive, Bacon Egg & Cheese on a plain bagel with Chipotle Aioli. These new menu additions will drop beginning June 25 and be available at all participating Dunkin' locations nationwide until August 19, as reported by @markie_devo on Instagram. Image source: Corbis/Getty Images In December of last year, Dunkin' introduced its new $5 Meal Deal, which includes a hot or iced coffee and a selection of two Wake-Up Wraps. This value meal was launched to replace its popular $6 Meal Deal and give customers new options for a dollar less. However, it's impossible to please everyone, and the substitution sparked backlash from customers, who thought the $6 Meal Deal was a better offer. Related: McDonald's menu adds experimental new items fans will love For the first part of its summer menu release at the beginning of May, Dunkin' returned the $6 Meal Deal due to popular demand, offering a medium hot or iced coffee, hash browns, and a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich. Now that the second part of its summer menu has been leaked, Dunkin' will return the $5 Meal Deal. Switching this offering every few months could be a strategic move to please more customers. As if all the new additions weren't exciting enough, Dunkin' is getting patriotic and celebrating the 4th of July by launching the new Spangled Donut, which is filled with vanilla buttercream, dipped in blue icing, and topped with 4th of July sprinkles. The coffee chain will also add three 4th of July Takeover Donuts. These patriotic treats will be available from June 25 to July 22.

These seasonal buckets are always very popular and will only be available while supplies last.
