Sydney Sweeney has legs for days as she cuddles her new puppy in swimsuit snaps
Sydney Sweeney had legs for days as she cuddled her new puppy in her Instagram post over the weekend. The 27-year-old actress slipped into a skintight, long-sleeved spring suit while enjoying a boating excursion on the lake with her precious pooch. Alongside the video of herself smiling and hugging her dog, she wrote in her caption that she was sharing a 'sully update :).' This comes shortly after she adopted her new German Shepherd puppy Sully Bear in April and showed him off in glamorous fashion as she headed to a Met Gala afterparty the following month. The Euphoria star — who is preparing to launch a lingerie brand with $1 billion backing from Jeff Bezos amid rumors she signed on with Amazon MGM to become the next 007 Bond girl — aptly accompanied her post with the song Good Dog from Tall Guy Short Songs. In the short clip, she appeared fresh-faced with wet hair after enjoying a dip in the waters. On the same day, the White Lotus alum also took to her Instagram Story to share another clip of herself sitting on the floor of the boat and looking up at her puppy. Over the adorable video, she wrote 'my big bear' alongside a red heart emoji. She also shared a photo of her puppy lying down in the shallow waters of the sandy shore as she enjoyed some time unwinding on the lake. She first posted her puppy Sully in late April just shortly after news broke that she and her fiancé Jonathan Davino ended their engagement after seven years together. Her outing comes shortly after her unexpected, solo attendance at billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish wedding in Venice, Italy. She was one of the more surprising celebs spotted at the event, and had many scratching their heads since she doesn't appear to be close friends with either the bride or the groom. The star made headlines during the festivities by partying with the likes of Tom Brady and recently-single Orlando Bloom. Still, her inclusion at the lavish $50 million wedding left some baffled, though another recent business collaboration sheds some light on why she was actually there. She first posted her puppy Sully in late April just shortly after news broke that she and her fiancé Jonathan Davino ended their engagement after seven years together; pictured May in New York City It seems Sweeney's arrival was a show of respect for her future boss Bezos, as per Page Six. Back in March, Sweeney signed on to star in the video game adaptation of the recent hit Split Fiction. The adaptation will be directed by Jon M. Chu (Wicked) and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool & Wolverine). Then in early June, Amazon MGM Studios picked up the project, which seemingly lead to an invite extended to Sweeney for Bezos' wedding. A source admitted Sweeney 'is not friends with either one of them,' though adding she 'came to pay respect to the 'boss just like in the old days of Hollywood.' The fantasy/sci-fi game Split Fiction follows authors Mio and Zoe who become trapped within the worlds they have written. It's unclear which of the two main characters Sweeney will portray, with Amazon said to be 'actively looking' to cast her co-star. Her affiliation with Jeff, who has creative control of the next James Bond movie, also appears to have brought her closer to one of the most esteemed roles a Hollywood star could ask for — that of a Bond Girl. A movie source said: 'Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernizing the franchise... 'They've hung out together a lot and he has admired her stratospheric rise. Plus she has the quality of being athletic and able to perform physical scenes, as well as being feminine and following in the legacy of Bond girls.'

Puppy attacked with machete in St. Lucia finds ‘fur-ever' home in Ont.
Gibby, the dog formerly known as Gabriel, sat in the grass in Guelph, Ont. on July 18, 2025. (Alexandra Holyk/CTV News) After a brutal machete attack in the Caribbean, a nearly-five-month-old puppy has found his forever home in Guelph, Ont. Gibby, formerly known as Gabriel, was found in May by a surveyor doing work on a remote beach in St. Lucia. With little to no options, the surveyor contacted Helpaws – a non-profit animal rescue located on the island. 'He was just on the ground, sand everywhere, completely dehydrated,' recalled Kisha St. Romain, Helpaws operations manager. 'His tongue was hanging out, there were maggots in his mouth, he couldn't eat or drink anything.'

(Submitted: Renee Fleming) After the island vet recommended euthanasia due to a lack of resources, Helpaws contacted Renee Fleming, a veterinarian at Guelph Animal Hospital, who had worked with the rescue on spay and neuter missions. 'We brought him back from St. Lucia and he had an initial few surgeries for his trauma,' said Fleming. After a few treatments and tests, the pup was given a second chance at life and it was time to find him a loving family. Luckily, he didn't have to go far.

(Alexandra Holyk/CTV News) Fleming said she didn't plan on adopting Gibby when she first met him, but after spending weeks together, it seemed like the perfect fit. 'I couldn't imagine our lives without him,' she said. According to St. Romain, Helpaws received numerous applications to adopt Gibby. 'We were not expecting it,' St. Romain said about the eventual adoption. 'But it was a great outcome. We couldn't have asked for somebody better to adopt him.'

(Alexandra Holyk/CTV News) Leading up to Gibby's adoption, the rescue started a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of his care, surpassing their goal of US$25,000. 'It's so nice to see that they were able to raise so much money in his name,' said Fleming. 'But we're able to care for him moving forward.' Fleming said the funds will go to other animals who need help, something St. Romain said is ever-growing. 'All of that money is now going towards these dogs that need the care that they couldn't receive here on the island,' St. Romain said.

'At this point, we just want him to be happy and live the best life that he can have,' Fleming said.

It's cute & looks like a teddy – but there's another reason people think a fluffy crossbreed is the ‘perfect' dog
PAW-FECT Scroll down to find out Britains favourite dog breeds A FLUFFY little furball is sending TikTok into meltdown and fans reckon it could be the most paw-fect pup ever. Known online as Honey, this adorable teddy-bear lookalike is melting hearts across social media with his big brown eyes and soft golden coat. 2 2 But there's more to this pup than just cuteness. She doesn't shed at all, making her an absolute dream for allergy sufferers and clean freaks alike. Honey is a Pomapoo, a cross between a Pomeranian and a Poodle, and she's got nearly 30,000 fans swooning over her cuddly good looks. With her tiny size and teddy-like fluff, it's no wonder the internet has fallen in love. One TikTok user gushed: 'So cute!' Another dubbed her: 'the most perfect dog.' Others chimed in with 'Looks like a teddy bear' and 'She's unreal.' Pomapoos are what's known as a "designer dog".\ They're a mix of two breeds, combining the smarts and low-shedding coat of a Poodle with the playful, outgoing personality of a Pomeranian. The result is a clever, affectionate little companion who loves cuddles as much as a game of fetch. Padraig Harrington's dog plays hilariously cute role in Irish golfer's US Senior Open celebrations Standing just eight to 12 inches tall, Pomapoos are perfect for flats or houses alike. But don't be fooled by their tiny size, they've got big personalities and love being the centre of attention. Honey's owner shared her adorable antics on TikTok, showing her prancing around like she owns the place. But while this mix is winning fans left and right, not everyone in the dog world is sold on the poodle cross trend. One dog groomer has warned that these 'doodles' – crosses like Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles and yes, Pomapoos – can be a bit of a nightmare if not properly cared for. Emma Badgley, a professional groomer, says many owners underestimate just how high-maintenance these breeds can be. 'Doodle owners are often clueless about the grooming needs,' she moaned in a post on Quora. 'Some of the most matted dogs I've ever seen have been doodles – and trying to groom them when they're knotted and wriggly is seriously stressful.' She added that big poodle mixes like Goldendoodles and Saint Berdoodles can be especially tough, because they've got the energy of a toddler and coats that demand constant brushing. Even smaller breeds like Pomapoos aren't completely fuss-free. If they inherit the Poodle's curls, they'll need regular grooming to stop their hair turning into a tangled mess. Britain's favourite dog breeds HERE are the top ten dog breeds in the UK.... Labrador Retriever Renowned for their friendly and outgoing nature. Popular as both family pets and working dogs. French Bulldog Known for their distinctive bat-like ears and affectionate temperament. Ideal for city living due to their small size. Cocker Spaniel Beloved for their playful and loyal disposition. Excellent companions for active families. Pug Recognised for their charming wrinkled faces and sociable nature. Adaptable to various living environments. Staffordshire Bull Terrier Valued for their courageous and loving character. Strong and muscular build, yet gentle with children. Dachshund Adored for their distinctive long bodies and lively personality. Comes in a variety of coat types: smooth, wire, and long-haired. Border Collie Celebrated for their intelligence and energy. Excellent working dogs, especially in herding. Golden Retriever Known for their friendly and tolerant attitude. Great family pets and skilled in various service roles. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Cherished for their gentle and affectionate nature. Small size makes them perfect for lap dogs. German Shepherd Admired for their loyalty and versatility. Commonly used in police and military roles due to their trainability. And that's not all, some popular breeds like Huskies, German Shepherds and Newfoundlands were called out for being 'anxious' and 'a lot of work' by the same groomer. So, while Honey might look like a living teddy bear, there's a bit of effort behind the fluff. Still, if you're ready to commit to grooming and want a cute, clever, and snuggly sidekick, a Pomapoo could just be your perfect match.

Camilla smitten with Battersea puppy as she opens dog-friendly garden
The Queen was left smitten with a tiny puppy when she opened a dog-friendly garden at a leading animal sanctuary. Camilla declared 'I'd have taken him' when told the once homeless tiny Jack Russell cross had found an owner during a visit to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. The Queen officially launched the garden, co-designed for dogs by TV gardener and author Monty Don, at the charity in south London after it was first unveiled at the Chelsea Flower Show before moving to its new site. She told guests who included celebrity supporters Amanda Holden, Sue Perkins, David Gandy and Dame Jacqueline Wilson she had followed the garden's progress. She said: 'I feel like I've watched it grow up. 'I saw it at the planning stage, I saw it at Chelsea, and I've seen it here, where it's going to be so wonderful for all the dogs to roam around.' Camilla has taken in three rescue dogs from the famous animal sanctuary over the years, with her latest pet called Moley, but she said the animal was left at home because of the hot weather. When the Queen first arrived, she was greeted by some of Battersea's more cuddly resident dogs, including seven-week-old Dipsy who she tickled behind the ear. When told by Nake Florin, the charity's behaviour manager responsible for animal wellbeing who held the diminutive puppy in one hand, the dog had been adopted by one of the charity's staff she made the group laugh with her comment about missing out on the dog. Broadcaster Holden later said she made Camilla laugh when she told her about her husband's response to their rescue dog Mini rolling onto its back for its stomach to be tickled whenever he sees the pet. The TV presenter, a Battersea ambassador for 12 years, said of her partner: 'My husband said why can't you be more like that.' She said about the Queen: 'She's just one of those people that's genuinely nuts about dogs.' During the visit Camilla toured the dog-friendly garden, which features a lawn, trees and shrubs, and saw one of the pets jump into a small pond and run about the borders. Don said later: 'It wasn't about relocating a Chelsea garden, Chelsea was a stage of the journey to here and I quite like the fact it's changed. 'We haven't just plonked down a Chelsea garden, we've changed the site and made it work for the dogs. 'We wanted the dogs to run and leap and jump and roll and sniff, whereas at the Chelsea garden it was too precious.'
