He goes *damn, putting up phone for TikTok again. Ok ok, let me show you what I see, do you see it!? Do you see the sky, do you see the clouds? That is what I Labrador retrievers are known for being an active breed, who require lots of exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. If you are looking for more effortless dogs, there are many choices for you. Newsweek previously reported on a variety of sizes and types of pups, from compact toy breeds like Chihuahuas and Pomeranians to gentle giants such as bullmastiffs and Great Danes, that require relatively low levels of activity once they're fully grown. Many of these breeds, like bulldogs, French bulldogs, pugs, shih tzus, Pekingese, and Japanese chin, are well-suited to shorter walks and indoor play and are prone to overheating, so their activity should be adjusted accordingly. Others like basset hounds and dachshunds need only moderate, cautious exercise to maintain their health without stressing their bodies. Other breeds on the list include Tibetan mastiff, spinone Italiano, cavalier king Charles spniel, Chinese crested, and dogue de Bordeaux, among the most popular.

Raveena Tandon on International Cat Day: My cat Puma and I are both a little dramatic and weird
Raveena Tandon at Purnima Kitty Kingdom A few days ahead of International Cat Day, Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon made a meaningful visit to Purnima Kitty Kingdom, a cat shelter nestled in Malad, Mumbai. Her presence wasn't merely ceremonial. It was a heartfelt appeal for help and support, as the shelter desperately needs donations, supplies, volunteers, and awareness to continue its vital work. Raveena with Purnima Lamchhane For Raveena, animal rescue is not a hobby – it's in her DNA. 'I think I was born into it,' in a chat with Mumbai Mirror, she reflects, sharing how a childhood photograph captures her as a baby sleeping beside two Pomeranians. She adds, 'I have always been surrounded by animals. It's more than just being a dog or cat lover – it's about being a compassionate human being.' Her home is affectionately called 'Dr. Doolittle's house'. Over the years, the Tandon-Thadani household has sheltered a menagerie of owls, a rescued monkey, a baby bat, rabbits, and countless injured birds. She laughs, 'It's like a mini Noah's Ark. They just seem to find their way to us when they are in need.' Among her many rescued animals, Puma, the family cat, holds a special place in Raveena's heart. 'Puma is truly one of a kind,' she gushes, adding, 'Initially, she was a bit of a loner, living mostly on the upper floors of our home. But over time, she developed an amazing bond with one of our dogs, Lucifer. They are best friends now. Watching her trust, play, and even slap Lucifer around in jest has taught me that love and friendship can bloom even in the unlikeliest pairs. ' What also makes Puma extraordinary isn't just her inter-species friendship – it's her dog-like behaviour. Raveena shares, 'The funniest part is that she thinks she is a dog. She responds to her name, comes when called, and even begs for snacks.' This quirky personality, complete with dramatic meows and chirps, has created an unbreakable bond between cat and owner. She says, 'Puma has taught me that patience and respect earn you a cat's loyalty. ' The bond between Raveena and Puma runs deeper than typical pet ownership. They share striking personality traits. She says, 'Puma and I both enjoy our independence, but we love our chosen people deeply. She hates kisses, slaps us when we cuddle too much, but she also follows us around and wants to be part of the action. She has a strong personality. We're both a little dramatic, a little weird, and a whole lot loving.'

Dive into dog registrations offers a glimpse into family history
Jack the Pomeranian's collar. PHOTO: ODT DILES In my work at the Waitaki Museum & Archive and Forrester Gallery, I never tire of the research process. I enjoy how the threads, hopefully, come together as you start delving into something. Sometimes luck is on your side and you find more than you ever expected. Our team is full of pet lovers. I was recently curious about the dog registration tags in our collection and wondered if we could track down anything about the dogs that wore them. We have three tags in the collection that were once issued, one from Waihemo County Council issued in 1938, one from Waitaki County Council issued in 1886 and one, along with the collar, from Oamaru Borough Council issued in 1922. Back then, tags were made of metal. I had no luck with the Waihemo and Waitaki County Council tags, but our archives showed that in 1922, tag 130 was issued for Jack, a white Pomeranian. The information collected by the council was similar to today, including the dog's name, breed, colour, sex and the owner's details. Pomeranians seem to have been in vogue, as there were four others on this page of dog registrations alone: Gipsy, Browney, Mojo and Possy. The fee was 10 shillings, which is about $60 today. Jacks owner, John Samuel Burns of Greta St, also had another Pomeranian, named J.S. Burns died suddenly later in 1922. He was 61. His dogs were registered in subsequent years by his brother, Donald. Jack appears in the registration records up until 1934. He outlived his former master by at least 12 years. "Twinkle B" and "Jack B", John Burn's Pomeranians. PHOTO: WAITAKI MUSEUM & ARCHIVE AND FORRESTER GALLERY I assume D. Burns held on to Jack's collar. It is a familiar instinct to keep something tangible of the pets we treasure after they die. I have a couple of collars and tags belonging to departed pets in my home. Jack's collar and tag were donated to the museum in 1983. I am unclear about the donor's connection to the Burns family, if working on this research, I had the exceptional luck of my colleague finding something akin to a needle in a haystack, a studio photograph of "Twinkle B" and "Jack B". J.S. Burns was a noted rugby football referee and this photo of his two dogs was among a recent donation of items related to the Athletic Rugby Club. It is clear these were treasured pets and I am pleased =that our archive can tell some of their story more than a century later.

Sharon Osbourne shares Ozzy's final heartbreaking words about his fans
Sharon Osbourne has shared her husband Ozzy Osbourne's final words about his fans before his death at the age of 76. The Black Sabbath star died on July 22 'surrounded by love,' according to a statement from his family. In the wake of his death, tributes poured in from fans and famous friends globally, including some of the biggest names in music, such as Gene Simmons and Elton John. Now, Sharon has revealed that following Ozzy's June 5 performance -where the frontman reunited with his bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for their last ever performance at Birmingham's Villa Park Stadium – he made a moving observation about how many people came out to support. Sharon told Pollstar of the massive event: 'It was the first time, I think, that anybody's gone into retirement and done it, where the show is streamed and it goes to charity. 'So it's the first time anybody has said goodnight like that, it's the perfect way, when you've had such a long career, to end it – I never wanted Ozzy to just disappear without some big event. 'He [Ozzy] turned around and he said to me that night, he said, 'I had no idea that so many people liked me.'' Ozzy also made his love for his fans known during the performance. On July 5 in Birmingham – where his band Black Sabbath formed 56 years ago – he brought the show to a close with a powerful message. Closing the gig, Ozzy said: 'It's the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.' Now, fans are preparing to say one last goodbye to Ozzy with the upcoming BBC One show, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home. A glimpse of the documentary was recently revealed, showing Sharon and Ozzy in one of their last images together. More Trending The legendary rocker and his wife are pictured smiling as they unwind at home with their cherished Pomeranians. The footage, filmed before his death last month at the age of 76 following a long battle with Parkinson's disease, captures Osbourne leaning gently into his wife, a walking stick in hand, and his once-dark hair now visibly greying. The hour-long special offers rare, intimate access to the Osbourne family over the course of three years, culminating in Ozzy's final Black Sabbath performance in Birmingham on July 5. Got a story?

At Pet Café Hyderabad, rescued dogs and cats are the real stars
You can hold Idli, if she lets you. Dosa, on the other hand, is like a tiny boss on patrol, strutting about with suspicious eyes, occasionally barking at dogs twice his size. Gabbar, the pug puppy, is feisty but will melt for the magic word: treat. Idli and Dosa are mini Pomeranians, and Gabbar is the kind of teething pup who will help you understand why pet parents joke about 'shark teeth' — just let him nibble your finger and you will know. Welcome to Pet Café Hyderabad (PCH), a cheerful vegetarian café where you do not need to be a pet owner to enjoy the company of cats and dogs. This pet-friendly space, on street no 4, Banjara Hills, has five in-house dogs and seven cats, all rescued from heartbreaking circumstances — found in bins, by highways, or abandoned in bags. The café was founded by Deven Baheti, who also runs Deven's Hope, an animal rescue organisation, alongside his wife Sonam Singh. The moment you enter, you will notice a manned gate, essential to keep the dogs safe as they roam around off-leash. A spiral staircase leads you to the upper level of the café, where the cats reside in a well-padded space (even the skirting boards are pet-proofed). Inside, pastel walls create a calm ambience, decorated with artwork by Deven's mother. It is warm, welcoming, and designed with both animals and humans in mind. At PCH, you can hang out with the resident pets, bring your own, or just stop by for a coffee and some cuddles. 'We encourage people who are unsure or afraid of animals to visit,' says Deven. 'Our in-house pets are calm, well-socialised, and not clingy.' Many of the animals here are unadoptable due to health issues or age. Idli has epilepsy. Mia, the senior dog of the house, is 12 years old and a champion cuddler. Lexie is a three-legged dog who has been with them since puppyhood. Upstairs, the cats are equally special — Tiger has two legs, Naina is blind, and Milky… is just moody. The staff at PCH are quick, attentive, and incredibly kind, especially when it comes to handling animal behaviour. If a bark or growl breaks out, someone is immediately on it. There is a special menu for the pets — the in-house dogs and cats are not allowed human food, but they do get their own freshly prepared treats. Guest pets can indulge in chicken or egg-based options. For humans, the vegetarian menu is light, hearty, and well-made. There is avocado open toast, pasta, grilled veggies over herbed rice in white sauce, and sandwiches. Do not forget the coffee, served with latte art. If you are new to handling pets, the team will guide you. Do not lift them by their front paws or squish them too hard. And if they wriggle away, let them go, do not hold on. If you are tall, squat before letting them down to avoid injury. The entry fee is ₹500, fully redeemable against food and drink.
