Tom Hiddleston Puppy Interview
You've asked, and the day has finally arrived. The effortlessly charming Tom Hiddleston sat down with BuzzFeed to do our Puppy Interview. To celebrate Tom's critically-acclaimed turn in Mike Flanagan's new film, The Life of Chuck, Tom sat down to chat all about working with the beloved writer and director on adapting this Stephen King story, as well as look back at some other big moments in his career, like Loki and Marvel, and so much more. The Life of Chuck follows Charles "Chuck" Krantz (Hiddleston), whose life is chronicled in reverse-chronological order as we see how he's impacted the universe and the people around him. Hiddleston shares the role with Jacob Tremblay, Benjamin Pajak, and Cody Flanagan. For starters, Tom talked about his big dance number in The Life of Chuck and how he wasn't a classically trained dancer before starring in the film. He discussed the scene that he and Chris Hemsworth could not get through without laughing, and it happened in Thor: The Dark World. Tom also said that if he could see Loki interact with any other Marvel character he hasn't had a chance to yet, he'd love to see Loki and Daredevil, so he could work with his "dear friend" Charlie Cox again. Of course, outside of his work onscreen, we also just got to get to know Tom a little more. Like, he talked about which Bon Iver song he has on repeat right now, the movie that always makes him cry, and more. Basically, the whole thing was just supremely wholesome, and so calming. You can check out Tom's full puppy interview below: Also, all of these adorable puppies are available for adoption through Pawsitive Beginnings. And be sure to watch The Life of Chuck, which is in select theaters now and everywhere June 13.

Pawsitive Beginnings expands its animal-assisted therapy network with new partner and fox addition
The Florida-based nonprofit is joining forces with Christina's Courage while also welcoming a two-month-old kit KEY LARGO, Fla., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pawsitive Beginnings, a growing fox rescue program in Key Largo, Florida, continues to develop its animal-assisted therapy network by announcing a new partnership with Christina's Courage, a victim-centered support service program for sexual violence survivors in Monroe County, Florida. "We believe in the connection between humans and animals and use our unique animal-assisted therapy program to provide hope and healing to trauma survivors in the Florida Keys," said Nicole Navarro, founder of Pawsitive Beginnings. "We hope our partnership with Christina's Courage will provide the victims of sexual violence with the therapeutic space these survivors and their counselors need to start the healing process. Our foxes have also overcome hardship and adversity and can serve as living examples of resilience." Christina's Courage is a sexual assault advocacy center serving the entire Florida Keys and is the first and only advocacy center of its kind in Monroe County. It provides a range of services for survivors of sexual violence, including forensic exams, advocacy, support, and free therapy. In addition to growing its therapy network, Pawsitive Beginnings is also adding new residents to its den. Recently, the fox rescue group adopted a two-month-old fox kit named Isla, whose story of survival will be added to assist in the therapy program. Isla was born to a vixen who was surrendered to another fox rescue group in Minnesota. Isla's mother was part of a large group of animals who had survived the exotic pet trade. Navarro said Penny, a longtime Pawsitive Beginnings fox resident, has "adopted" Isla as one of her own since the kit's arrival. "These animals cannot be returned to the wild for a variety of reasons that include their inability to blend into the wild and the fact that it is illegal to introduce non-native farmed foxes back into the environment," she said. "Because we believe that rehabilitation is possible for everyone, regardless of species, we feel partnering these foxes with other survivors of trauma is a win-win situation for everyone." In addition to Christina's Courage, Pawsitive Beginnings also partners with Kinder in the Keys, the Florida Keys Children's Shelter, Key Bridge, Inc. and Project Lighthouse to provide the free animal-assisted therapy program. However, Navarro said the group needs more sponsors so that it can remain available at no cost. Annual sponsorships are used to help fund partner visits and allow Pawsitive Beginnings to purchase items specific to the therapy program. Sponsors are also provided with complementary tickets to visit the sanctuary and attend fundraising events, and their name and company logo are prominently displayed on the rescue's website and communications. Currently, there are three sponsorship choices: Diamond, Platinum and Gold.
