Husband Told to Keep Golden Retrievers Out for Work Call, Goes As Expected
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 viral TikTok video has captivated social media users, showing a man's struggle to keep his dogs away from his wife while she was in a meeting. The hilarious clip shared in April under the username @joey_how_u_doinn, shows the poster's husband using his legs to stop the two golden retrievers from getting to their mom. However, in the end the pups do manage to get through. "I asked my husband to keep the dogs away while I was in the meeting..." the poster says in the clip. She adds in the caption: "Their faces..." All dog owners love their fur-babies, but do they love use back? The answer, according to science, is yes! A study carried out by a team of scientists at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, exposed dogs to both familiar and unfamiliar smells, and found that when they smelled the familiar aroma, the "reward center" of the brain was activated. You can tell when a dog loves you by the way they behave around you. If they are happy to see you, give you presents, and put you second only to food, there's a high chance that your dog truly loves you. Other signs of canine love include sleeping near you, looking at you with loving eyes, and following you everywhere. While they can love more than one person, dogs often have a favorite too! They choose their favorite human based on your interaction with them, and how much your nurture your bond. The more effort you put into your pup, you increase your chance of becoming their number one person. You can read the sign that you are indeed your dog's favorite here.

One user, Jazzy, said: "The one with really mad face change so quickly as soon as he moved his leg look at that smile like yes I knew couldn't stay there long." Reina wrote: "It's like phone calls. The second you are busy dogs decide they absolutely need your undying love and attention and snuggles that very second." LMS Weed added: "Dogs don't know when meetings are. they pick up on your stress levels, and come to you to help decrease them."

Sad find in dam sparks warning about daily problem in Aussie bush
Scratched, tired and frustrated, after an hour chasing an animal with a busted leg through the bush, Manfred Zabinskas believes something needs to change. Like clockwork, he'll get a call every day that roaming pet dogs have attacked a kangaroo, inflicting serious wounds that need to be treated. When the veteran wildlife rescuer spoke with Yahoo News on Wednesday, he had an orphaned joey in his hands that he was trying to keep warm as cool evening air set in. 'The dog ripped the joey out of her pouch. He leg was hanging off by a thread of skin. And I lost her in an ocean of blackberries and lamandra,' he said. 'I just had to give up and leave her to the foxes. It's sh**.' Just yesterday, he took in a juvenile kangaroo that had been chased into a dam by two dogs. 'They were from a neighbouring property and were allowed to roam by their irresponsible owners,' he wrote on social media last night.

'The little kangaroo joey was exhausted, cold, caked in mud, and terrified. His eyes bulged with fear, but he was too weak to fight or to resist yet another plunge into water,' Zabinskas wrote. 'But this time, the water was warm and soothing, and there was no barking from predators. As we washed the little boy, filthy water flowed from his body, and the fear gradually flowed from his eyes.'

If the joey he was holding survives, it'll need regular feeding for a year, something that's hard for most busy people to commit to. While many pet owners do the right thing. Sadly there are many who think it's natural for their dogs to roam in the Australian bush, where they attack and chase marsupials that evolved without the skills to avoid these introduced predators. He's issued a plea for dog owners who visit or live in the bush to do the right thing and keep their pets under supervision. 🐟 Hunt for rare Aussie fish not seen since 1990s 📸 Rare Aussie creatures photographed coming to surface for 'super cool' battle 🌸 Bid to end centuries of 'confusion' around plants at centre of $5 billion industry With his Five Freedoms Animal Rescue shelter already full, he's unsure how he's going to find the time to care for his latest arrivals. Everyone else who volunteers their time to care for the animals around Trentham, northwest of Melbourne is in the same situation. 'We've run out of homes for the joeys,' Zabinskas said. 'I don't know what we're going to do. But it is what it is.' Love Australia's weird and wonderful environment? 🐊🦘😳 Get our new newsletter showcasing the week's best stories.
