Peggy McMaster This week's Pet of the Week winner couldn't be any more relatable. Many people will shudder in disgust at the sound of another person sneezing and coughing. And as one owner learned, dogs aren't fans of germs either. Owner Peggy McMaster began noticing her dog becoming a bit annoyed whenever she sneezed, coughed or cleared her throat. McMaster shared a video with Newsweek that shows her golden retriever giving her the biggest side-eye as she coughed. Grossed out by the sounds, the dog looked at her with disapproval. "My dog acts like I have the plague!" she said. Finalists Photo of two cat siblings touching paws in a precious brotherly moment.

Yash Mehta Our first finalist for this week comes from Yash Mehta, as Mehta's two pet cats, Coco Junior and Muffy, captured our hearts during their precious bonding moment. In Mehta's photo, Muffy, the white cat, was lounging on the couch with his head on the armrest. Down on the ground was the orange cat, Coco Junior. Mehta happened to catch the moment these two cats were looking longingly at each other, which ended with a gentle tap of each other's paws. Mehta called it a "brotherhood scene."

Leticia Fernandez With the pet industry booming, there is no shortage of opportunities to buy toys, treats and even outfits for your fur babies to rock. And with her 3-month-old pup, Leticia Fernandez couldn't resist dressing her up. Fernandez decided to buy her Yorkshire terrier, Zoe, bow ties to put in her long fur. She pulled the fur up, out of her eyes and separated them into parts. She placed the blue hair clips on each section and snapped a picture. "Funny, it seemed like she stuck her tongue at me after putting the hair clips on her," she told Newsweek. Zoe beamed with pride as she rocked her new accessories.

Van Es Finally, what is a dog without their favorite toy? April G. Van Es shared a photo of the family's beloved dog, Kimball. In the picture, Kimball is sitting on a chair, enjoying the outside with his toy in his mouth. But it's not a soft, plush toy he can snuggle. Instead, he's head over paws for the Frisbee. The orange Frisbee is bigger than his face, but he holds onto it for dear life. The edges push out his lip flaps, almost appearing uncomfortable. But Kimball doesn't mind. It's his favorite. If you think your pet could be next week's Newsweek "Pet of the Week," send us your funny and heartwarming videos and pictures of your pet, along with a bit about them to life@ and they could appear in our "Pet of the Week" lineup.

Canine cuteness: Wiener dog races at Fort Erie Race Track celebrate 6th year
Being a wiener dog race champion takes training, drive, speed and, in this case, a bendy red Frisbee. Jane of Arc had these qualifications as she entered her third year of competition at the Fort Erie Race Track Sunday, going head to head with 86 other dogs vying for best in go. Wiener dog races returned to the Fort Erie Race Track Sunday with 87 canines competing for Top Dog status. The Grimsby miniature dachshund bolted ahead of the other competitors as fast as her mighty little legs could carry her to win the coveted first-place prize. But it wasn't the glory of being Top Dog she was after; it was the Frisbee being held by her human Randy Hutton at the finish line. Jane of Arc runs with her disc after a successful heat at the sixth annual wiener dog races at Fort Erie Race track. Jane went on to win the event. 'She's always been quick, and she's very attached to this special toy that she has here,' Hutton said after the race. 'She doesn't want any other dog to play with it, so she had to get there first.' Jane of Arc got to bask and bark in the limelight with her Frisbee, and owners Hutton and Elena Merz got a year's supply of dog food, a swag bag and the satisfaction their training paid off. Grimsby's Jane of Arc, with her humans Randy Hutton and Elena Merz, was the winner of the wiener dog races at the Fort Erie Race Track Sunday. 'She's quite spoiled, but now she got to spoil us with a little bit of a win, so we're super excited about that,' Hutton said. The annual wiener dog races at the Fort Erie Race Track was in its sixth year and continues to be a crowd favourite. Wiener dog races returned to the Fort Erie Race Track Sunday with 87 canines competing for Top Dog status. Spectators showed up in sweltering heat, cheered, laughed and made 'aww' sounds as dogs took off in their heats and scattered in various directions. The most determined sprinters made it across the finish line. At times, it was hard to make heads or tails of it as some wieners chose to run off course, stopped mid-race, chased each other in circles or stood motionless at the start line. Wiener dog races returned to the Fort Erie Race Track Sunday with 87 canines competing for Top Dog status. Pet parent coaches were pointing, clapping and waving toys to coax their four-legged athletes with dreams of podium positions demolished like a paper chew toy. The track held its inaugural wiener stakes in 2018 — it took a couple of years off during the pandemic — and unleashed an immediate and overwhelming interest from the public. Dozens of wiener dogs competed in races at the Fort Erie Race Track Sunday in what's become a family favourite event at the track. 'We have people who travel really long distances to come to this, and we have an incredible return rate,' said Fort Erie Race Track spokesperson James Culic, adding many spectators come every year. 'And what's neat is the actual wiener dog contestants, they form a little bond. They're all friends. They have Facebook groups, they talk. It's like its own little community of wiener dog racers, which is really nice to see.' The wiener dog races took place after horse races Sunday. Culic said the track's goal is to expose horse racing to people who wouldn't be there otherwise. 'A lot of people who would not normally come out and see a horse race, they want to come out for the wiener dog races. They catch the last couple and they realize, 'Oh, actually, this is pretty fun,'' he said, adding the feedback is people are coming back and enjoying the horse racing. Because of the popularity of the wiener dog races, the track added more dog dashes, with the fifth annual basset hound races and second annual corgi races happening Aug. 17. Culic said Jane of Arc will be invited back to the track to race against the fastest basset hound and fastest corgi in the 'battle of the breeds' at that event. Hutton and Merz practised racing with Jane, not only on green fields, but at the beach to mimic the terrain of the dirt on the horse track. They said Jane of Arc, who made it to the finals three years ago, gets super excited when she runs outside and naturally goes fast, trying her best. On Sunday after a hot afternoon of racing, though, the champ was getting dog tired. 'We've got some treats in the car for her,' Hutton said. 'She's going to have a nice long nap home to Grimsby.'

Sabrina Carpenter Puts Feud Rumors to Rest at Olivia Rodrigo Concert
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Sabrina Carpenter was seen supporting Olivia Rodrigo at her BST Hyde Park concert in London. Rodrigo was headlining the event and Carpenter could be seen enjoying the music from the VIP section. Both pop stars formerly dated actor Joshua Bassett, leading to longstanding rumors of feuding or competition beginning around 2021, but it seems obvious that both Carpenter and Rodrigo have moved on. Carpenter can be seen in photos shared by the Daily Mail wearing a semi-sheer white baby doll dress and a pair of black-framed glasses. Over one shoulder she wore a red purse and was holding a glass of wine, smiling widely during the show. On stage, Rodrigo wore a black bodysuit with large torso cutouts covered in silver fringe with a pair of black boots. She was later joined on stage by Ed Sheeran. Bassett is rumored to be the subject of Rodrigo's 2021 hit song 'Driver's License,' after they dated while filming the popular show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series in 2019. In 2020, Carpenter and Bassett were romantically linked, but they supposedly split in 2021. In her song, Rodrigo sings about 'that blonde girl' who 'made [her] doubt' the relationship. Rodrigo is now dating actor Louis Partridge, who she was first seen with in late 2023. Carpenter has since been linked to Shawn Mendes and Barry Keoghan, and is now supposedly single. In a 2024 interview with ELLE, Partridge dodged a question about whether Rodrigo's song 'So American' was about him, joking, 'Not my song, not my place. So I wouldn't know.' He did share, 'My girlfriend has been trying to get me into more pop recently—Chappell Roan has been on repeat.' He also said that he sees himself as a golden retriever boyfriend type. 'I think in past relationships my mind worked at a different speed to the women I've known,' he said. 'A bit slower. The way I would characterize it is like a Golden Retriever and a black cat. I can imagine being happy sitting and catching a Frisbee.'

27 Swimsuits From Amazon With *Thousands* Of 5-Star Ratings, Because You're Tired Of Crossing Your Fingers And Hoping For The Best
FYI: Amazon Prime Day is coming! A ruffled one-piece swimsuit with lace-up detailing on the back that also helps you adjust the fit for comfort. The bottom cut is a tad cheeky, but many reviewers say it doesn't ride up. A chic bandeau and high-cut bottoms that'll have you feeling like a guest vacationing at the White Lotus — but don't worry, you're just a background character soaking up all the tropical vibes (and not at risk of murder). A fully lined one-piece swimsuit with hollowed-out straps giving it a unique look. The crossover straps offer plenty of support up top, with wire-free removable bra cups that won't poke you in the side, plus full coverage in the bottom. A plunging scoop one-piece offering a simple, classic design fit for any swim-related occasion. FYI, it's high-cut and cheeky, but feels comfortably secure without being suffocating. A bikini set that includes a super cute flouncy top that's not tight or constricting on your chest (yay, adjustable straps!) and high-waisted bottoms that stretch comfortably. A ruched swimdress hiding comfy boyshorts underneath so you're not constantly pulling your suit down to cover your bottom. It'll be our little secret! Or a vintage-inspired swim dress with a cute bow at the center and a slightly more flared fit that gives a nice silhouette without the tight hug at your stomach. It also has shorts underneath! A high-waisted bikini if you're looking for bottoms that come up a bit higher and hug your waist — the thicker, adjustable straps also add to this swimsuit's supportive feel. And both pieces have this gorgeous patterned band tying the whole look together! A bustier-style bikini top with a long-line underwire design that lifts and supports, complete with adjustable, double G-hook straps at the back to lock everything in. It comes in bright colors and darling patterns like cherries and polka dots — a true stunner of a top you can pair with any bottoms. A deeeep-V one-piece if you're not afraid of a little (OK, a lot) of side boob and are ready for your cheeks to get some sun. You're ready for your Baywatch debut! A playful ruffled top bikini that comes with removable adjustable straps, so you have the choice between rocking a truly off-shoulder look or adding in some extra support. Or a ruffle-topped one-piece, also with removable adjustable straps so you have ~options~, though many reviewers say the top stays up just fine without them (depending on your bust size)! A one-shoulder option that's basically begging you to pair it with a flowy maxi skirt and wear it to brunch — the ruffled style is just too cute! A funky layered tankini for breathable stomach coverage with a cute side view of the bra underneath. Perfect for water sports *or* chasing kiddos around the beach, this tankini has a non-underwire bra and a fitted band that holds the bottoms in place. A sporty colorblock bikini that's as bold and vibrant as your personality — and perfect for playing some volleyball or throwing a Frisbee on the beach. A one-shoulder bikini with a fun tie detail at the waist that elevates it from "basic" to "model off-duty vibes." A crisscross side lace-up one-piece that'll have you strutting like a Love Island bombshell entering the villa. A push-up bikini top with underwire support, molded cups, and crisscross strappy back that'll keep you feeling totally supported up top, even while zipping across the water on a Jet Ski. A high-waisted bikini set that doesn't require you to be on a boat off the coast of Bali, sipping on a fruity cocktail while posing for photos — but I'm just saying it would be right at home in that scenario. A ruched monokini with a high neck and peekaboo mesh neckline that's both sexy and supportive — reviewers say it holds everything in place well despite the lack of underwire! A flouncy swim skort that turns your favorite one-piece or bikini top into an adorable outfit you'd be tempted to throw on just to do chores or run errands. The built-in shorts help prevent any painful thigh rubbing while keeping you comfortably covered, if that's what you're looking for. Simple twist-front bottoms made to go with any swim top in your closet, especially for those of us who rock a very different size in bottoms than we do in tops. They're stretchy, a bit cheeky, and will stay firmly in place after that cannonball into the pool. A pair of stretchy drawstring boardshorts you can pull on for a day of swimming and lounging by the water. They dry fast, so you don't even have to change clothes afterward if you're heading elsewhere, and underwear liner is built-in (so you can go commando). Reviewers say they stay put without riding up or squeezing your thighs uncomfortably, even if you have curves! A high-waisted retro number that'll have you feeling like a modern-day Wonder Woman — if she ever took a break from fighting baddies to relax on the beach with a margarita, that is. A V-neck one-piece with cinching at the bust that lets you decide how ~risqué~ you wanna be and a fun cutout underneath — just don't forget to apply sunscreen there! And a scoop-neck monokini giving the illusion of being a two-piece from the front, with lace-up detailing adding some flair in the back. A high-waisted bikini that includes a ruffled smock top you'll *definitely* want to pull out and wear with some denim cutoffs too — it's basically just a cute crop top that happens to be built for water, complete with adjustable straps!

Threads is testing spoiler text, Zuckerberg says
Threads, Meta's microblogging platform, is testing spoiler text, according to a post from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Spoiler text refers to words (or images) that are grayed out in a post and only become readable if you manually click to see them. As the name suggests, spoiler text is often used on platforms like Discord or Reddit to help people communicate about new movies, TV shows, or books without accidentally revealing plot points and twists for people who aren't caught up. This is a nice quality-of-life upgrade on the user side, but it also helps Meta by encouraging more conversations about pop culture without people worrying about spoiling others. 'Popular shows like 'The Last of Us' and 'The White Lotus' regularly trended on Threads during their seasons, a clear sign of the app's growing community of entertainment and pop culture enthusiasts,' Meta said in a press release. Spoiler text can also be useful in other circumstances, like blurring out text or images that aren't violative, but still might be off-putting to some users. (Looking at my friend who shares #BruiseWatch updates after their Frisbee games.) As a feature that's currently in testing, spoiler text/images have not rolled out to all users. For those who have it, text or images can be marked as spoilers by highlighting them before posting, then selecting 'mark spoiler' from the menu that appears.
