X (former Twitter) user @dammitdemi from Kingston, Jamaica, recently shared an interesting thread about how she found out that her adorable pupper named Han Solo was regularly hanging out with a pack of local dogs without her even knowing it.

Han Solo frequently goes out by himself and explores the neighborhood, but he always comes back home on time. However, the other day, the dog didn’t return in time, prompting @dammitdemi to embark on a search for him, which she documented on social media.

Thanks to a tracker on his collar, @dammitdemi knew that Han Solo was at the local golf club, one of the places he enjoys visiting, so she went out to get him.

“Too many hours had passed and my mother had begun to worry… So naturally, I put on some walking gear, grabbed the leash and his favourite ball as I took to the golf course! “wrote @dammitdemi in one of the posts.

After arriving to the golf club, @dammitdemi discovered that Han Solo wasn’t there. As it turned out, the tracking app hasn’t been updated in a while. She started searching for the dog and even contacted his veterinarian for advice.

But suddenly, she heard some barking nearby and decided to check it out. At the same time, the app notified her that Han Solo “has been found.” What she so next caught her by surprise.

It turned out that Han Solo was so caught up playing with other dogs that he lost track of time.

@dammitdemi ended up putting Han Solo on a leash, but he still allowed him to play with his friends for a bit longer before taking him home.

She promised that he would get to see them again, but this time under supervision.

We discovered a new entry on the best jobs ever list; doggy school bus driver. And no, we are not making stuff up. There is a man named Denzel Morrison from Calgary, Canada, who actually does this job every day and enjoys every moment of it.

Morrison, who is an expert dog trainer, runs a dog service called Ruff and Puff. As part of the service, he takes his doggy school bus, picks up dogs from their homes, and takes them to a private park where they can run around and play. After playing time is over, he drops them off, “tired and happy”.

Morrison regularly shares his doggy school bus rides on social media, and they are a joy to watch.

The dogs don’t just get a fun ride and exciting time in the park. Morrison makes sure to make every dog feel special by celebrating their birthdays and rewarding them with treats for good behavior.

“My clients always telling me that they’re so happy the dogs are on the bus they noticed that their dog is more outgoing after coming on the bus a couple times and they’re really happy to see the bus,” says Morrison.

Check out more of these fun rides below.

Foster dogs are often shy when they arrive at their foster home. It is a big change for them, and it can take time before they settle in. However, watching them get comfortable is so heartwarming, as a recent video shared on TikTok shows.

The clip, posted by user @goth_pack, shows a foster dog Freya “finally” becoming confident enough to cuddle with another four-legged member of her foster family, pit bull Labrador mix Briggs. While Freya’s interpretation of cuddling is unusual, as she is lying on top of confused Briggs, it is still an adorable sight.

“When your little foster dog finally has the confidence to cuddle but she’s still a bit awkward,” @goth_pack wrote in the text displayed on the video. TikToker also added that Briggs is “such an angel with small dogs.”

As you might have guessed, Freya’s attempt to cuddle melted the hearts of other TikTok users, who called it “adorable” and “sweetest.” And it turns out that this awkward form of cuddling isn’t all that uncommon.

“My foster gal does that to my bigger pit they lay like that for hours,” @njmomof2weirdos wrote in the comments section.

If you ask us, there is no doubt that Freya will soon be fully comfortable in her new home and get all forms of cuddles possible.

Dogs have the best reactions to even the most basic things. They don’t hesitate to show their excitement, confusion, or dislike towards something, and we all enjoy it because it is sincere and because, let’s face it, it sometimes entertains us.

In a recent video shared by TikTok user @thegoodhype, one family decided to see how their 14 dogs would react to aluminum foil. The clip is a must-watch as the puppers all have different and often hilarious reactions when faced with the material.

The family took large sheets of aluminum foil and taped them on the kitchen floor. They then invited each of their dogs to walk across it.

Most of the canines were puzzled by the shiny and squeaky surface, while some couldn’t believe that their humans put time and effort into such shenanigans. For example, a husky named Cinnamon gave its humans an “Are you serious?” look but still ended up humoring them. On the other hand, Bridget and Turko didn’t even flinch and casually made their way across.

As a bonus, the video also features two goats getting in on the fun. Check it out below and enjoy all the amusing reactions that the aluminum foil caused.

A clip showing a heartwarming moment when a dog dad meets his puppies for the first time has taken the internet by storm. It shows how animals can be proud and caring parents in more ways than we think.

The video starts with a big XL Bully, a mix of various bull breeds, including an American Pit Bull Terrier, entering the room where the Bully mother and her puppies are resting. The Bully dad greets the Bully mother but has his eyes fixed on his kids most of the time.

At one point, the owner lifts one of the babies to get it closer, and the dog dad gets visibly emotional.

The video was viewed close to 10 million times, with TikTok users rushing to the comments section to show how moved they were by the video. Some of them even noticed that the Bully’s dad was crying or at least trying not to let his emotions get the best of him.

“Awe, he a proud dad.. he even crying.. too cute,” one user wrote.

“Looks like he is crying at the end,” another user commented.

We can’t say with certainty that those were tears of joy, but regardless, it was clear how much he already loves his kids.

Dogs don’t like to spend their days indoors, doing nothing. They are at their happiest when they are outside and running around. Unfortunately, most dog owners don’t have enough time to play with their dogs at all times. This is where a genius hack shared by TikTok user Klaudia Soltys comes in handy.

Soltys recently uploaded a video on social media in which she revealed how she keeps her two beagles, Kiki and Koko, occupied during the day. Her method is quite simple and only requires a bag of frozen peas.

According to Soltys, she simply takes a handful of frozen peas and scatters it across her backyard. The dogs get occupied with searching for peas, and when they find one, they get themselves a “low-calorie” snack.

The video got quite a lot of attention on social media, with the hack being praised by other dog owners who were looking for ways to keep their dogs entertained.

“At first, I started throwing treats around, but beagles are prone to gaining weight so I needed something low-calorie,” she shared in a chat with Newsweek. “That’s when I came up with peas. They’re small, they’re extremely low in fat. It was the perfect solution, and both Kiki and Koko love veggies.”

Sure, we know that dogs are intelligent. But the story recently shared by animal shelter Animal Rescue League of El Paso (ARL) shows just how smart they are.

In late January, the staff of ARL received a surprising notification that someone rang a doorbell at their facility at 1:30 AM. Checking out the camera, one staffer noticed a familiar dog standing in front and waiting to get in. It was a rescue pupper named Bailey, who was adopted just one month earlier by a local family.

Speaking through the doorbell camera app, the staffer shouted “Bailey,” and the dog immediately looked at the camera, confirming her identity. The staffer then made her way to the shelter and found Bailey sitting tight.

It turned out that Bailey was scared away by something while walking with her new owner and ran away. She then decided to make a 10-mile trip to her former home, returning to the place where she always felt safe.

After taking in Bailey, the ARL staff provided the dog with food and water to help her recoup energy from the exhausting trek. She was reunited with her owner, who never stopped looking for her, and brought back to her new home the next morning.

“She knew exactly where to go,” ARL founder Loretta Hyde later told The Dodo. “Dogs are smarter than we give them credit for.”

Have you ever wondered if your dog is dreaming while sleeping? Not only scientists have found out that dogs do dream, but they can also tell you what your dog is dreaming about.

Dogs seem to always be ready to take a nap so it’s normal to wonder what’s going on in their minds when they sleep. We always want to know what dreams they experience.

Apparently, according many scientists, your dog might be having much more vivid dreams than you think. Recent studies have revealed that our sleep cycles are really similar with the ones of our puppies. Your sleep is comprised of numerous cycles.

From the moment you lie down to when you wake up, your brain is going through a lot of activities. You can have beautiful dreams of awful nightmares. The dreaming mostly occurs during the phase of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is only 1/4 of your total night’s sleep. REM sleep occurs in cycles, 20-90 minutes throughout the night.

Your dog has the same sleeping cycles that you have and his REM sleep can be associated with the rapid movement of their eyes. Not only that, a research at Harvard University has shown that your dog is most likely having dreams connected to you. Our dogs are most likely dreaming of us, their owners and best friend.

The dreaming mostly occurs during the phase of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is only 1/4 of your total night’s sleep. REM sleep occurs in cycles, 20-90 minutes throughout the night.

Your dog has the same sleeping cycles that you have and his REM sleep can be associated with the rapid movement of their eyes. Not only that, a research at Harvard University has shown that your dog is most likely having dreams connected to you. Our dogs are most likely dreaming of us, their owners and best friend.
