How Chihuahua Defies Breed's Bad Rep at Vet Melts Hearts: 'Little Angel'
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 well-behaved Chihuahua has melted hearts across the internet after defying their breed's feisty reputation and enjoying attention from the vet. The dog's owner shared footage of their small beige pooch, Tapioca, receiving cuddles and affection while having his nails trimmed. The video, which shows the pup snuggling up to a vet staff member and receiving a soft kiss as his legs are examined, quickly went viral, racking up 83,900 likes and 476,500 views. "Tapioca is calm and absolutely loves people. He does get nervous at the vet, but even then, he never snaps or acts out—he just patiently waits for it to be over. Every vet we have been to always mentions how well-behaved and sweet he is. Our usual vet even said all Chihuahuas should be like Tapioca, which is the sweetest compliment and something I am really proud of," the owner, Sadie, told Newsweek. While Chihuahuas are often labeled as aggressive or reactive in clinical settings, experts say that this reputation is largely misunderstood.

"They're small, vulnerable, and handled by strangers who are much bigger than they are, in environments that feel overwhelming. When you're that small and scared, your instinct is to defend yourself and that usually looks like growling, snapping, or trying to escape," she told Newsweek. She noticed a recent case where her shelter saved over 40 small dogs from a backyard breeder. Many Chihuahuas initially appeared aggressive. However, once placed in calm, loving homes, they quickly transformed, suggesting their behavior was rooted in survival instincts rather than personality. Hood emphasized that while genetics may play a minor role, early socialization and environment are far more influential in shaping a dog's behavior. Positive experiences, safe homes, and consistent care help dogs adapt better to stressful situations like vet visits. "Owners can make the situation feel safe and familiar. Let them ride in a cozy carrier with a blanket that smells like home. Bring treats, speak calmly, and ask the vet team to go slow if needed. You can even visit the clinic when nothing is scheduled, just to walk in, get a treat, and walk out. Do everything you can to make it a positive experience," she added. Social Media Reactions Tapioca's gentle nature drew an outpouring of admiration on TikTok, with many users chiming in to challenge the Chihuahua stereotype. "Chihuahuas are amazing dogs, people just neglect training them or they treat them bad," said one user. "Chihuahuas get a bad rap. They are sweet dogs, but they demand respect," another viewer added. "Showing my Chihuahua this is how she should behave. I don't think she cares though," joked another. "My vets love my Chihuahua. They say he's so sweet and I tell him that's a lie. He's a psycho at home. Lol," shared one user. Sadie hopes that Tapioca's example can help shift public opinion. "I also really want to help shift the perception around Chihuahuas. People are often surprised by how friendly Tapioca is, and I want to show that they are not all as feisty or mean as the stereotype suggests," she concluded.

Dog's 'Freedom Run' After Getting in Trouble Has Internet In Hysterics
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. Sometimes, dogs will act apologetically when they get causing mischief, but not Sadie the goldendoodle who has left internet users in stitches by doubling down on her antics. In a now-viral TikTok video (@sadiethegoldend00d), Sadie's owner captured the moment she caught the young pup roaming around the outdoor swimming pool. Sadie appeared to have escaped the house to reach the pool, and even though the covers were still on, that didn't stop her from trying to splash around. During the clip, Sadie's owner can be heard saying: "How did you get out? You're in trouble." Nonetheless, that wasn't going to stop Sadie from having her own pool day. Even after her owner announced that she was in trouble in a firm tone, Sadie kept splashing and bringing more water to the surface. Her owner's anger appeared to spur her on, as she then got the zoomies and ran across the entire length of the pool. Stock image: A Norwich Terrier runs along the street.

In just a matter of days, it has already amassed over 687,500 views and more than 65,400 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Newsweek has contacted @sadiethegoldend00d via Instagram for comment. We could not verify the details of the video. The caption alongside the clip reads: "Me no in trouble. Me having fun." Many owners will be familiar with the sight of their dog getting a case of the zoomies, otherwise known as frenetic random activity periods (FRAPs). It is a sudden burst of activity that involves them running around in large circles, often in a hunched position that offers the maximum speed. It can be very entertaining at the time, but the actual cause of the zoomies is still not understood. The website PetMD suggests that it is a quick way for dogs to release their pent-up and excess energy, to show excitement, or even relieve themselves of stress. Indeed, moments of high arousal can trigger the zoomies, such as their owner picking up their favorite toy or maybe the leash. Additionally, it may be a sign that they're having so much fun and can't contain their joy, or don't want it to end. If they start zooming around, it could be an attempt to make the activity last longer. Regardless of why they are doing it, zoomies are generally a sign of a happy dog. It can occasionally be a stress reaction, so PetMD recommends observing their body language and the timing of it to learn the trigger. While Sadie's owner might not have been too pleased with her antics, TikTok users are obsessed with her zoomies. This has led to more than 4,300 comments on the viral TikTok post so far. One comment reads: "If I'm in trouble, might as well make it worth it." Another TikTok user wrote: "Well, if I'm already in trouble." A third joked: ""Wellllll let's do a freedom run first then …" One comment read: "I think her favorite word might be trouble."

Sadie Sink in Spider-Man: Brand New Day; Here's everything you need to know about her role
Stranger Things fame Sadie Sink became the latest addition to Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fans have been eagerly speculating about her role amid several reports about her possible role in the film. Although no official details about her character were released by the makers following her casting announcement in March, a new update has seemingly shifted the narrative. Previously, several theories around her role were reported. It included speculations about Sadie playing iconic X-Men character Jean Grey, while others guessed Firestar or even Mary Jane Watson herself. A rumour also suggested that she might portray Lily Hollister, aka the villain Menace. Amid this, industry insider John Rocha, speaking on a recent episode of The Hot Mic podcast, revealed what Sadie Sink may not be seen as in the upcoming film. Rocha claimed that Sadie Sink is set to portray Mayday Parker, the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. It this is true, then a major plot twist in the film franchise is guaranteed for the films. In the episode, Rocha also revealed that the upcoming version of Mayday Parker won't be tied to Tom Holland's Spider-Man. She is reportedly part of a different timeline, connecting her to Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. It would make her the daughter of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane Watson. 'My source heard Sadie Sink is playing Mayday Parker. So, connecting to the Tobey universe. She's his daughter,' Rocha said. This leaves room for the film to explore a multiverse storyline and even bring Sadie's Mayday face-to-face with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, bridging different cinematic Spider-Man universes. This revelation has fueled further speculation that the film could explore a multiverse storyline, potentially bringing Sadie as Mayday face-to-face with Tom Holland of Spider-Man. The character, to be played by Sadie, Mayday Parker, first appeared in What If...? #105 by Marvel Comics. In the comics, she eventually inherits her father's powers and carves her own path as Spider-Girl or even Spider-Woman. While the character made an appearance in the animated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Sadie Sink essaying the role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day would be the first time Mayday is portrayed in a live-action film. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Besides Sadie, the film saw another addition of The Bear star Liza Colón-Zayas. It is scheduled to start filming later this year after Tom Holland wraps up filmmaker Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. The film will be released in theatres on July 31, 2026.

Jesse Williams Accuses Ex Aryn Drake-Lee of Violating Custody Order
Originally appeared on E! Online Jesse Williams is continuing his legal battle with his ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee. Nearly two months after the Grey's Anatomy alum was awarded sole custody of their 11-year-old daughter Sadie and 9-year-old son Maceo's healthcare, he accused his ex of violating the court's order during an April 3 orthodontist appointment, according to documents obtained by E! News. 'During our meeting with the children's orthodontist, when we were to discuss among other things, the doctor's game plan for treating Sadie's impacted upper right canine tooth and the growing cyst around her tooth,' the May 6 Ex Parte Request for a Temporary Emergency Orders read, 'Aryn aggressively told the doctor she does not consent to treatment and that she will SUE the doctor if he touches the children. The orthodontist promptly asked us to leave.' Williams—who was married to Drake-Lee from 2012 to 2017 before finalizing the divorce in 2020—said that he apologized to the doctor for her outburst and left the office. He also said in the filing that after the incident, Sadie and Maceo asked him, 'What is wrong with Mom? Did we get kicked out? Why does she keep doing this? Why won't she let me get braces? Can we just go back without her?' More from E! Online Why Cardinals Are Banned From Eating Ravioli During the Conclave Who Won The Masked Singer Season 13? Country Star Revealed as Pearl Timothée Chalamet's Ex Eiza González Reacts to His Kylie Jenner Romance E! News has reached out to Drake-Lee and reps for Williams for comment and has not yet heard back. The 43-year-old accused Drake-Lee—with whom he shares joint legal and physical custody—of compromising their children's 'health and specific treatment,' along with destroying 'relationships with healthcare providers who are now terrified to treat our children for fear of her erratic and aggressive antics.' Williams noted that Maceo needs braces and added that Sadie 'has an impacted upper right canine, and a cyst around the root,' to which the orthodontist recommended her tooth 'be extracted and orthodontic treatment be started.' 'Aryn has demonstrated that if she is notified about treatment, she will physically appear and sabotage the treatment, scarring and scaring the children in the process,' the documents shared. 'Given Aryn's conduct, I will be unable to obtain any healthcare treatment for the children.' He argued that Sadie 'should not have to wait any longer for treatment' since her oral issues could be 'complicated with more risks' if not treated. Williams is requesting that he 'be permitted to obtain healthcare treatment for the children without any notice to Aryn, and that Aryn be prohibited from interfering with or communicating with the healthcare providers.' According to the filing, the Cabin in the Woods star, per a March 20 hearing, emphasized that he has 'sole legal custody to make all decisions related to the children's medical, dental, and orthodontic care and treatment.' Per the court order, Williams was to keep Drake-Lee 'fully informed of all medical, dental, and orthodontic appointments and treatment,' and she also has 'the right to attend all such appointments.'
