Rescue Dog Has DNA Test, Owner Gets Surprise Result Years Later
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. After losing her pup to cancer last year, a dog owner got an emotional surprise when the canine's DNA test results got back, revealing an unexpected sibling. In a viral Reddit post shared on under the username u/Hungry-Emu-6732, the poster reveals a surprising 72 percent DNA match between her late pup Gwen, and her supposed brother Jake, born eight years apart. "Hey there, we lost my sweet girl, Gwen, last year to cancer. A few years before she passed we had the Embark DNA test done. Lots of cousins, etc. but, today we got an update that they found a sibling-72 percent match," the post read. "However, this dog was born in 2022. We adopted Gwen in 2016 and she was estimated to be about 2 at that time, meaning she was born in 2014. What are the chances her parents had another litter 8 years later, or what other connection could this be?" Screenshots of the viral posts show the pup and the surprising DNA test results. Screenshots of the viral posts show the pup and the surprising DNA test results. u/Hungry-Emu-6732 The poster, Valerie, added that Gwen, who was adopted from the Foothills Animal Shelter in Colorado, seemed to have had a litter when she was found, showing enlarged nipples, but no puppies were with her at the shelter. Valerie told Newsweek that Gwen was the sweetest girl, and her running buddy. She also loved adventure, and she got to go on a road trip with them in an RV during COVID-19 from Colorado to Florida, which is a memory they will never forget. However, Valerie said that Jake might not be Gwen's sibling after all, but he could be Sparky's brother, their daughter's dog, who was born in 2022, and whose DNA was also sent for testing along with Gwen's. "I believe the sample was switched between the two dogs; that's what makes sense. I just didn't have a lot of faith in the results after the one sample was temporarily lost. But, seeing the 'sibling' connection for Gwen, that pup has a very similar face to Sparky. I haven't heard back from the owner who I messaged on the app," Valerie said. "It was in theory cool to see the results, if they are accurate. Especially with shelter dogs, mutts, it's neat to know a little more about their history, which can point to some of their personality traits/quirks, etc., as well as give you an idea of health conditions they may be predisposed to." The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 640 upvotes and 29 comments on the platform. One user, LeeIsMe123, commented: "While unlikely, litters 8 years apart are possible, especially if these pups were adopted from the same shelter. Dogs have heat cycles and remain fertile even into old age. Who knows?" Euphoric-Stuff-1557 added: "Oh my goodness … that's so amazing. This made me a little emotional. I wish Gwen was still alive to possibly connect with her sibling." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Deloitte India and Embark form a strategic alliance to offer end-to-end solutions for GCC
As India continues to consolidate its position as a global hub for digital infrastructure, the role of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) is becoming increasingly central to the country's economic narrative. Economic contribution from GCCs has risen exponentially from US$19 billion in 2015 to over US$68 billion today. These GCCs are pivotal and evolving from cost centres to strategic value creators. Every 1 in 3 Fortune 500 companies has a GCC in India, representing India's dominant market share in the larger GCC segment. A dynamic trend is the rise of mid-market companies tapping into India for capability development. Per industry estimates in 2024, 480 GCCs, accounting for 27 percent of India's total GCC numbers, are operated by mid-sized enterprises. India is no longer just a destination for large Multinational Corporations (MNCs). Mid-market firms, emerging globalisers, regional powerhouses and single-country enterprises now represent the next growth wave of the GCC movement. To support this shift, Deloitte India has entered into a strategic alliance with Embark, an integrated GCC platform, to offer end-to-end support to global firms building and scaling their GCCs in India, covering strategy, operations, infrastructure and governance. Under the Deloitte–Embark alliance, organisations will receive end-to-end support across the GCC lifecycle, from vision and strategy to seamless setup and execution. This includes strategic advisory on GCC operating model and value case design, location strategy, legal entity setup, tax and compliance advisory, one-stop facility setup solution, ongoing GCC operational support across facility, talent, payroll, finance, procurement, risk and compliance. This will ensure a smooth launch and scalable growth for global enterprises. This alliance represents a strategic investment in India's potential to lead the next phase of global service delivery. By offering organisations a one-stop solution, Deloitte India and Embark aim to simplify complexity, reduce risk and accelerate outcomes for companies entering or expanding in India. As global enterprises re-evaluate their operating models amid macroeconomic uncertainties and digital disruption, the demand for integrated, execution-focused platforms is rising. This alliance will meet this need by combining Deloitte's strategic advisory and transformation capabilities with Embark's proven on-ground execution to help organisations establish, scale and future-proof their GCCs in India. Regarding the collaboration, Romal Shetty, Chief Executive Officer of Deloitte South Asia, said, 'We are beginning to see significant shift in global enterprises' drivers for setting up a GCC. What started as pure capacity models for enterprise support functions are now moving towards becoming cognitive command centres housing emerging tech capabilities such as ArtificiaI Intelligence (AI), Engineering and Research & Development (ER&D) and other digital capabilities. Carrying an achievable vision of 5000 GCCs in the next five years, this sector is poised to generate US$150–US$200 billion in direct economic impact tapping talent beyond metros.
