Husky Freaks Out With Excitement When Baby Sister Finally Decides to Pet Her After 10 Months
Husky Freaks Out With Excitement When Baby Sister Finally Decides to Pet Her After 10 Months originally appeared on Parade Pets. Adjusting to a new baby in the household is no easy task — it doesn't matter if you're new parents getting into the flow of a major life change, or the family pet getting used to having a baby in the house. Over time, though, so many parents get to witness the beautiful bond that so many dogs have with their human siblings, even if it takes a little while for that bond to get started. Case in point: The sweet relationship unfolding between the Husky in the video below and her 10 month old baby sister. It may have taken her a little while to gather the bravery to pet her dog, but once she does, it's easy to see she already has her dog wrapped around her tiny baby finger! Dog and human mom @justlifewithstef shared this adorable footage on TikTok that included the very first time that her daughter decided she was finally ready to pet her dog, Stormy. Baby girl listened to mama's instructions to use "gentle hands" perfectly, and it seems like this was a moment Stormy was really looking forward to, because the moment she felt her baby sister's hands on her fur, she flopped over in sheer joy. These two are so sweet together, and it's clear that the time Mom has spent trying to show her daughter the right way to interact with dogs has truly paid off. It probably helps that Stormy is such a sweetheart, too!Commenters can't get enough of these two together, and it's easy to see why — this Husky is absolutely in love with her baby! "Your dog has been waiting for this day!" one commenter wrote. Another shared a comment from Stormy's perspective: "Mom, it's happening! Look!" "You need to be really careful here with babies and dogs. His body language indicates that he's about to claim her as his own and never leave her side," another wrote, adding a winking emoji. Huskies might be big, playful, busy dogs, but they can also be so sweet, and this moment is a prime example of that quality. It seems like this is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship between these two! 🐶🐾🐾 Husky Freaks Out With Excitement When Baby Sister Finally Decides to Pet Her After 10 Months first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

The Ugly Truth About Trump's ‘Appalling' Hair: Biographer
Donald Trump's signature hairdo is all about grabbing maximum attention, author Michael Wolff told The Daily Beast Podcast this week. Wolff, author of a series of books about Trump in power, said the president viewed his hair as part of a wider strategy to stand out—including from Joe Biden on the 2024 campaign trail. 'He looks gray,' Wolff said of Biden. 'He's washed-out. You know, his hair is—what's left of it—is gray. The skin is gray. The suits are gray.' 'And Trump would point out, 'Look at him,'' he continued. ''Nobody even sees him. Everybody notices me.' Which is absolutely true. And side by side, you know, who do you notice? You notice this guy, this appalling-looking guy who is Donald Trump, and not just the relatively normal old man-looking guy that Biden was.' Wolff said Trump's entire appearance is 'by design.' 'He looks that way because he thinks that's an effective way to look,' he added. The White House did not immediately return a request for comment on the biographer's characterization. Wolff also referenced a passage from Stormy Daniels' book, where the porn star described a conversation she claims to have had with Trump about his locks during their alleged 2006 relationship. (Trump has denied any affair). In Full Disclosure, Daniels wrote that she asked Trump about his hairdo, and he admitted it was 'ridiculous.' Trump claimed that 'every celebrity stylist' had offered to fix it, but he declined, according to the 2019 book. 'Everybody talks about it,' Trump said, per Daniels. 'It's my thing. It's my trademark. Plus, if I let this person do it, it will just piss off all these other people. 'Well, why did you let him do it?' I know a lot of people who would kill to do it. The best. The best of the best.' Daniels' claims are backed up in part by an unexpected source: Seth Rogen. The actor, who appeared alongside her in Knocked Up (2007), says Daniels once told him about a bizarre exchange she claimed to have had with Trump about his hair. In the 2024 documentary Stormy, Rogen recalls Daniels saying that Trump believed his 'power' was tied to his hair, and that if he lost it, he'd lose his 'power and his stature.' 'And that's why, even though he knows it's ridiculous and... objectively not passing all the checkmarks you would want a head of hair to pass, to him that is preferable than cutting it off because he has, like, superstitions about it,' Rogen said. Wolff has been in Trump's firing line after claiming on The Daily Beast Podcast last week that the president's war on Harvard stems, at least in part, from a personal grudge over being rejected by the school. 'That story is totally FALSE, I never applied to Harvard,' Trump fumed on Truth Social Monday. 'I graduated from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania. He is upset because his book about me was a total 'BOMB.' Nobody wanted it, because his 'reporting' and reputation is so bad!' Wolff's most recent book, All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, also drew an angry outburst from the president at the time of its release in February. Trump called the book a 'total FAKE JOB' and 'obviously fictitious.'

Hysterics as Dog Gets Cat Brother, Instantly Loses All Personal Space
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. Internet users can't cope with a cat who behaves just like his dog sister and wants to be around her all the time—leaving her with zero personal space in return. The adorable video was posted on the dog's dedicated TikTok account (@mikostorm_) showing the inseparable duo doing everything from napping together, playing in the garden, and even going on walks. While the cat, named Stormy, appears to love copying Mika the dog and following her around, Mika didn't look too impressed about it. During the clip, she can be seen staring towards the camera and looking quite uncertain about the feline who seems to copy her every move. The video showing "the brother Mika didn't want but got anyway" was shared on TikTok in April, and internet users can't get enough. It has since gone viral and amassed more than 909,800 views and over 184,900 likes at the time of writing. Newsweek has contacted @mikostorm_ via TikTok for comment. We cannot verify details of the video. In many situations, it's dogs who love affection while the family cat prefers to have their own space. But that isn't to say the roles can't be reversed, as felines can often be affectionate to the family members they're bonded to. The website PetMD highlights that past experiences can help cats learn that being close to their human or another pet, being petted, and getting a treat can all bring them pleasure. Cats typically show affection by arching their back against you, meowing, purring, following you around, or sleeping near you at night. The clingiest types of cats are usually Siamese, Balinese, Tonkinese, Persians and Ragdolls, according to PetMD. Since becoming a sister, Mika certainly seems to have lost all semblance of personal space. Indeed, Stormy has become her feline-shaped shadow, following her and copying everything she does. What makes their friendship even sweeter is their similar markings as Mika and Stormy both have black fur with white patches over their body. They may not be genetically related, but they certainly look and act just like the cutest siblings. A stock image of a spaniel and a ginger cat laying down side by side.

This has led to more than 290 comments on the video so far, as social media users lauded the cat's need to be around Mika at all times—whether the dog likes it or not. One comment on the post reads: "Of course a tuxedo cat would be the one to be like that!" Another TikTok user wrote: "Obviously they are blood relatives." Another person added: "I've never seen the cat love the dog more." While one commenter joked: "they came from the same litter, and you can't convince me otherwise!"

Owners on edge after spate of cat maulings in Whakatāne
Mauling victim: Stormy, who was mauled to death on Monday is the latest in a string of recent dog attacks on cats. Photo: Supplied The owner of a cat fatally mauled by roaming dogs this week has been horrified to learn that her pet Stormy is not the only victim of this group of dogs in Whakatāne. Whakatāne District Council dog control officers say they have impounded eight dogs over the past 10 days and are encouraging people to make formal complaints when they see roaming dogs, rather than post about them on social media. Trinaka Godsmark-Tawa's cat Stormy was found dead on Monday morning. The James Street resident had been getting ready for work just after 5am when they heard loud and aggressive barking that lasted five minutes. A neighbour told them he had just chased three dogs away outside his house and one of them had a cat in its mouth. With the help of her neighbour she went in search of Stormy and found him mauled to death about six houses away. She posted about the attack on social media and soon learned that just minutes before Stormy was killed, a nearby Riverside Drive resident had chased three dogs from their property where they had been terrorising their cat. The dogs - one described as a husky and another as light-coloured - had been seen coming from Awatapu lagoon. Local Democracy Reporting [The Beacon] has verified that at least four other cats have been attacked by dogs in Whakatāne this year. One incident in Whakatāne south three weeks ago, was witnessed by the cat's owner and her two preschool children. The woman, who did not want to be named for fear of repercussions, said her two-year-old daughter had been feeding the cat when it was grabbed by two dogs. She describes one as a liver-and-white husky-type dog and the other as a tall, cream-coloured pitbull or staffie mix. "It could have been [my daughter] they attacked," she said. Nine lives: This 14-year-old cat is still recovering from lacerations caused by two dogs that attacked it three weeks ago in front of the owner's two preschool daughters. Photo: LDR It happened just before 7am while the cat waited for his food on the front doorstep. "I opened the front door to let my two-year-old put the food down and all of a sudden, the cat was swiped from her feet. "I quickly ushered [the girls] back inside and shut the door. They watched out of the window as I chased after the dogs. So, they were watching as [the cat] was being ripped by two dogs, one on each side. The 14-year-old cat survived, but is on antibiotics and still limping, the owner said. "He has some very big lacerations on his back." The children remain frightened to go outside their front door. "They've only ever known this cat as their baby. Now I've had to carry them to and from the car. They won't go out on the front porch anymore." She urges people to call dog control as soon as they see these dogs roaming. A dog control officer told her there have been multiple reports of the same dog, she said. Local Democracy Reporting [The Beacon] also heard from a Hinemoa Street resident whose cat was attacked by dogs a few weeks ago. It also survived, but spent a week at the veterinary clinic. Two other cat owners have posted on social media that their cats were killed by dogs in January. Godsmark-Tawa would like to see more dog control officers patrolling the area as it's not the first time it's happened in the area. "It's unfair that we have had to bury our cat because someone can't keep their dogs in their own gate." The council is currently advertising for a dog control officer on its careers website. Whakatāne-Ōhope ward councillor Nāndor Tanczos said roaming dogs were an ongoing problem, not only in town but in other parts of the district, and one that the council took seriously. "In the last long-term plan, we voted for more staff for animal control. One of the difficulties is that staff can't be everywhere all the time ... so it does rely a lot on people contacting the council when they see it happening." Any help with identifying the dogs is encouraged, such as taking photographs or videos. "Often the animal is gone by the time staff get there. It's not very easy to identify individual dogs. "The council staff are really good people, and I think they are genuinely trying to do their best with the challenges that they've got," he said. He said most dog owners were responsible but a few owners needed to stop their dogs escaping. He said other issues were whether dog control officers had the powers they needed under the council's bylaws and how many dog control staff were needed. "People want more dog control staff, but also people complain that there's too many staff at council. We can do that, if that's what the community wants, but people have to say how much extra they are prepared to pay in rates for that to happen." Council animal control team leader Verna Kinney said the council had received one formal complaint regarding a dog attack on a cat in the James Street area. "As this matter is under active investigation, we are unable to comment further." Since 20 April, it has received 20 service requests about roaming dogs in the Whakatāne township with several reports relating to the same incidents. She urges people to report sightings of roaming dogs as soon as possible but, for safety reasons, not to approach unattended dogs." LDR is local body journalism co-funded by RNZ and NZ On Air.
