Man Builds Electric Fence but Dog Outsmarts Him Instantly

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 clever Great Pyrenees has captured the hearts of internet users after outsmarting her owners not once—but twice—in a viral escape story that has earned over 3.2 million views on TikTok. The text layered over the video, posted by Samantha Vicha (@ said that the determined dog initially digging under a backyard fence, prompting a creative intervention from her owners. It added: "My husband spent [three] hours putting electric along the bottom of the fence line so she would stop digging under." Just two days later, the resourceful Pyrenees called Haleesi found an even more impressive escape route: she scaled up and hopped through a small gap above the electric line, completely bypassing the new barrier without breaking a sweat. Two screenshots from the viral video showing Haleesi the dog climbing up and jumping through the gap. Two screenshots from the viral video showing Haleesi the dog climbing up and jumping through the gap. TikTok/@ This escape artistry may come as no surprise to those familiar with the Great Pyrenees. The American Kennel Club (AKC) says these dogs were historically bred to guard livestock in mountainous terrain, often working alone and making decisions independently. While the breed may not always leap to obey commands, early training and socialization can channel that intelligence into loyal companionship. The Great Pyrenees' instinct to roam, guard, and find their own solutions is deeply embedded in their DNA. TikTok Users Share Similar Tales The viral video has resonated widely, with owners of Great Pyrenees and other dogs chiming in with their own stories of canine cunning. "My female chewed my male's electric collar off so they could both escape together," one user posted. Another added: "My Great Pyrenees lives at the local Dollar General and sometimes visits me at my house." Others admired the dog's ingenuity. "I mean it worked! I saw zero digging!" one user commented. Vicha responded: "That's one way to look at it." Another fan simply said: "She's a problem solver." 7 Ways To Keep Your Dog in the Yard Here are some clever ways from the AKC to keep your four-legged Houdini safely in the yard where they belong: 1. Extend Your Fence Raising the fence height isn't your only option. Instead, add a top extension that tilts inward. This visual and physical barrier discourages jumping and climbing. A lean-in is made by attaching farm wire or mesh at an inward angle from the top, forming an awning-like overhang that visually deters climbing. An L-footer works similarly but extends horizontally inward from the top of the fence. Both make it appear as if the fence continues over the yard, confusing and deterring escape attempts. 2. Eliminate Climbing Aids Survey your yard and remove anything near the fence that could serve as a step up. This includes: Firewood stacks Garbage or recycling bins Patio furniture Playground equipment Large rocks or landscaping features 3. Install Coyote Rollers These ingenious devices are long, spinning bars mounted to the fence top. When a dog (or coyote) tries to grab hold, the bar rotates—making it impossible to get traction. Originally designed to keep wildlife out, they are just as effective at keeping pets in. Full kits are available online and include brackets and end caps. 4. Use Landscaping as a Barrier Plant thick shrubs or hedges inside the fence line. Not only do they add beauty and privacy, but they also increase the difficulty of getting close enough to jump. 5. Install a Bottom L-Footer Prevent digging by attaching chicken wire, hardware cloth, or chain-link fencing at the base. Extend it out along the ground inside the yard (in an L-shape). For a neater appearance, you can bury it. Or, leave it exposed and weigh it down with mulch, stones, or planters. 6. Pour a Concrete Footer For persistent diggers, a concrete barrier is the ultimate solution. Pour a strip along the entire fence perimeter and embed the bottom edge of the fence directly into it. This creates a solid, unbreachable base. 7. Block the View Many dogs are triggered by what they see outside the fence. Reduce visual stimulation to help keep them inside. For chain-link fences, thread plastic slats through the mesh. Attach bamboo or reed fencing to any fence type using zip ties—it is affordable and effective. Plant fast-growing vines or climbing shrubs along the fence line (but protect them until they are established). Newsweek is awaiting for @ to provide a comment.

Sofia Richie Grainge dramatically cuts off her hair for a short French bob

Move over, long locks — Sofia Richie Grainge has officially entered the chic world of jaw-grazing bobs, and we're absolutely here for it. The daughter of Lionel Richie stunned fans with a fresh "French bob" debut on Instagram, documenting the dramatic chop right from her luxe South of France getaway at Hotel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc. Quelle surprise! Gone is the era of sleek buns and whisper‑soft waves. Instead, Sofia's new chin‑length 'do is razor‑sharp, subtly textured, and effortlessly Parisian. "She was nervous, but super excited," London hairstylist and the genius behind the look, George Curran shared with Vogue. Like us, friends, fans and followers of Sofia were just as shocked at the debut, taking to the comments section of her post to share their thoughts (which, included praise from none other than Vanessa Hudgens, may I add...). And not only that, but her husband Elliot gave it two enthusiastic thumbs‑up in her TikTok video documenting the chop. "I think it's really really pretty — it's like...'90s New York,'" he said. Get you a hubby who hypes you up like Elliot hypes up Sofia. #CoupleGoals. Far from a subtle trim, Sofia has lost around six inches of hair, making this French bob a dramatic transformation, to say the least. The style itself is a textbook example of a 'clean‑girl' transformation: minimal effort, maximal impact. Think bold, blunt ends with just enough texture to catch the light — and wind — in all the right ways. And with that, you best believe I'll be taking Sofia's IG post as a reference pic to my hairstylist ASAP. Bobs, here we all come! Follow Lia on Instagram.

Nike fumbles its biggest launch of the year

Nike desperately needs a comeback. Sales are down, and the brand has been grasping for ways to win back the audience it used to own - especially women. In the past few months, it's shuffled leadership, made sweeping organizational changes, and promised a new era. But there's been one initiative everyone has watched more closely than the rest. Related: Nike's house is not in order, and customers may pay the price This wasn't just a product drop. It was supposed to be a cultural reset, the kind of launch that makes headlines and stirs hype on TikTok before a single item even hits the site. A move that signals Nike gets it - that it can keep pace with the brands Gen Z and Millennial women actually want to wear. Internally, it was treated like a major turning point. And externally, anticipation was sky-high. But without warning, the launch is off the calendar. No update. No rollout. Just a quiet delay, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. And that's a this was the one drop Nike couldn't afford to miss. Image source: Nike/Skims The highly anticipated NikeSKIMS line, a collaboration with Kim Kardashian's $4 billion shapewear empire SKIMS, has been officially delayed. Nike then-President of Consumer and Marketplace Heidi O'Neill had said the partnership, originally scheduled to launch this spring, brought together the best of both brands, "unlock[ing] an incredible opportunity to disrupt the industry with our shared passion and commitment to innovation." The line is now expected to debut later this year, according to Bloomberg. No new date has been confirmed, and the delay wasn't caused by suppliers or shipping issues. Instead, it was an internal decision, one Nike and Kardashian made to "get the product right." Related: Nike delivers bad news for customers "We will invite even more athletes into sport and movement with product that makes them feel strong and sexy," the company said. The line was supposed to include apparel, footwear, and accessories. But in the time since it was announced, O'Neill - a key architect of the partnership - has exited the company. Meanwhile, Nike's new CEO, Elliott Hill, has been doubling down on the SKIMS partnership as a high-stakes brand revival strategy. But now, with no launch in sight, that strategy is looking shakier by the day. This delay wouldn't be such a big deal if Nike wasn't already under so much pressure. Nike's third-quarter revenues were $11.3 billion, down 9% from the same time last year, according to its recent earnings report. Meanwhile, Nike (NKE) stock has declined nearly 20% year to date, and investor sentiment continues to weaken. That kind of context turns a simple delay into something louder...a major red flag in the middle of an attempted reinvention. It also raises questions about internal alignment. If this was the moment to reconnect with the female consumer, what happened behind the scenes to justify hitting pause? Nike maintains the partnership is strong. But now it's facing the tough task of rebuilding buzz around a launch that's already lost momentum. And when the SKIMS line finally lands, let's hope the moment hasn't passed Nike by.
