Dog Manages to Show Dad She's Happy He's Home Without Losing Spot on Couch

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 golden retriever was delighted to see her dad had come home, but she really didn't want to get off the couch to show him that. Dev Erlich, an attorney based in New Jersey, adores her dog Skylar. "I've wanted a golden retriever ever since I was a little girl, so getting Skylar was a dream come true," she told Newsweek. Making that dream a reality was far from straightforward, though. It started with the search to find a responsible breeder. "There is a big issue where too many dogs end up in shelters. A contributing factor to that is backyard breeders who use poor breeding practices and bring dogs into this world with health and temperament issues that can be avoided had they bred responsibly," Erlich said. "Many of those dogs end up in shelters, being rehomed or causing unnecessary stress and heartache to their families," she added. Erlich spent countless hours learning how to find a responsible breeder and ultimately drove eight hours to pick up the dog she would come to know as Skylar. To this day, she considers that careful process the "best decision I ever made." "Skylar is that perfect golden retriever everyone dreams of," Erlich said. "She loves to train, play ball, swim, hike, chew a bone and, of course, cuddle—honestly, she's always really down to do just about anything." But, while Skylar is happy to do "just about anything," she is also conscious of prioritizing her own needs when it comes to all things self-care. Skylar's sleep is a good example of that. Research published in the journal Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews found that dogs require anywhere between 7.7 and 16 hours of sleep a day, depending on size and breed. Erlich said she isn't sure how much Skylar sleeps, but she knows that, come 8:30 p.m. most nights, her golden retriever "doesn't want to get up." "After a certain time of night, she gets extra lazy and doesn't want to move," Erlich said. "The girl needs her beauty sleep." That left Skylar facing something of a dilemma when her dad came home from work. It was a dilemma Erlich captured on camera, with the resulting footage shared to her TikTok @ Skylar loves her dad, though she doesn't necessarily show it in the way some more excitable dogs might. "Thankfully, Skylar doesn't get separation anxiety, so I wouldn't say she actively misses her dad when he's not home," Erlich said. "But, if I say his name, she definitely perks up and looks for him, especially when she knows he's due to come home soon." That day was a little different, though. Dad had come home late from work and, try as she might, Skylar couldn't muster the energy to go and greet him as he came through the front door. In her defense, Skylar had a great spot on the couch and looked supremely comfortable. She did find a way of letting him know she cared, though, by excitedly wagging her tail as he came into the room. Skylar's response did the trick, raising a laugh and smile between mom and dad while letting them know she had no plans to move. "It was a funny moment," Erlich said. "I just hope it makes people smile and see Skylar's sweet personality." Mission accomplished on both fronts.

Jennie of Blackpink taps ex-Spotify executive's Alta Music to manage her US activities

K-pop star joins Jeremy Erlich's newly launched company for stateside career support while retaining creative control under her label Odd Atelier Jennie of Blackpink has signed with former Spotify global music head Jeremy Erlich's newly launched Alta Music Group for US management, in a strategic move to expand her solo activities stateside. While the exact date of the contract signing has not been disclosed, it is expected to have taken place in July, as reports of the deal surfaced in the US on July 24. The agreement marks the first artist management signing for Alta Music, an independent, full-service company based in Los Angeles. Jennie will continue to operate under her label Odd Atelier, which clarified that Alta Music will only oversee her US management and will not be involved in music distribution. Alta Music Group, launched by Erlich earlier in July, will span management, publishing and recorded music. The company has also secured distribution through Sony Music's independent distributor The Orchard and entered a co-development partnership with The Black Label — a Seoul-based label helmed by producer Teddy Park, known for his longtime work with Blackpink. Erlich, who previously helped facilitate Blackpink's US expansion and co-managed Jennie's activities, emphasized his long-term vision for artist-centered management. 'Throughout my career, I've focused on the best way to service artists around the world that would create an environment that sets them up for long-term, global success,' Erlich said in a statement. 'With Alta, we have the opportunity to do just that — a best-in-class team focused solely on supporting our artists and the music they create. Everything else does not matter.' Jennie parted ways with YG Entertainment for her solo activities in December 2023, along with other Blackpink members, while maintaining her group contract. Since then, she has expanded her solo career and business through Odd Atelier.
