Husky's Epic Confusion Over Pool Cover Is Pure Comedy Gold
Husky's Epic Confusion Over Pool Cover Is Pure Comedy Gold originally appeared on Parade Pets.
Huskies are an incredibly expressive breed. Between their animated facial expressions and soulful howls, they always let you know exactly what they're thinking. They're also intelligent and endlessly curious, so if something doesn't make sense, they'll investigate until it does.
For this inquisitive Husky, the pool cover posed quite the conundrum. It looked like water, smelled like water, and even felt like water under her paws. But… why couldn't she swim?
Watch her hilarious mix of confusion and excitement in this adorable video from @snowdogsvlogs:
Hold everything! What kind of witchcraft water is this? That's probably what Eleanor the Husky thought as she darted over the covered swimming pool. Though puzzled at first, she certainly didn't let the strange surface dampen her fun.
In fact, her confusion quickly turned to joy as she realized how bouncy and entertaining this 'unwet' water could be. Her parents were wise to choose a dog-safe pool cover that can hold up to 800 pounds, which turned out to be perfect for this kind of spirited summer testing.
While Huskies aren't natural swimmers like Newfoundlands or Retrievers, many enjoy water play, especially in warmer months when their thick double coats make them prone to overheating. As described by the American Kennel Club, early positive exposure and supervision are key, especially since some Huskies can be wary of the water. While Eleanor might not be able to take the plunge yet, she's clearly down for the pre-game warm-up.
Fans loved her dramatic display. Viewer @elainethewhipadore quipped, 'Fluff this weird water! Where's the splashy-splashy?'
@sig_the_siberian joked, 'Omg like a water bed from the 90s lol.' It certainly looks that way!
And someone else chimed in, 'Three minutes until she digs her way in.' Which is why she's under supervision.

Whether she's bouncing, digging, or diving in, one thing's sure: Eleanor is ready for summer in her uniquely Husky way. And moments like these help us all get in the spirit!

Maybe it's the vulnerability of infants that pooches feel they need to protect, or it could be the curiosity and joy babies get out of everyday discoveries that resonates with dogs. This black Great Dane clearly cares for his human baby brother. The two seemed inseparable in this TikTok from @gemmini2313.

The two looked completely comfortable and acted as though this is an everyday occurence. "Look at you guys... you're so cute!" the mom of the two exclaimed as the baby let out a sweet sound. "Tell me you live in a house full of boys without telling me you live in a house full of boys," the onscreen text joked. The colossal canine appeared to be protecting the baby from falling off the couch. He seemed to know how easily the little boy could roll off and made sure it wouldn't happen on his watch. The heartwarming scene showed the strong bond between the two Danes are known as the gentle giants of canines. They make wonderful family pets and are very good with children of all ages. However, a Great Dane should never be left alone with a child since they could unintentionally cause an injury due to their massive size and strength. This breed also should be trained not to play rough because they can easily overpower a person or another smaller dog. That being said, these mammoth dogs are total love bugs. Great Danes are highly social, loving, and gentle, and thrive on socialization. They are also patient and highly intelligent, making them excellent candidates for training. Great Danes rank as the tallest dogs in the world, with males reaching up to 32 inches at the shoulder and weighing in at a massive 175 pounds. Females are a bit smaller, measuring up to 30 inches and 140 pounds. Despite their tremendous size, Great Danes carry themselves with grace and an almost regal gait.

Dad Tries To Teach Baby to High-Five, But Golden Retriever Has Other Plans
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 dad trying to teach his baby how to high-five had an unexpected student in the shape of his golden retriever—and, of course, she came top of the class. In an adorable Instagram video, dad Lee Cahill was seen trying to teach his baby, Roy, how to do the perfect high-five. He held his hand up in front of the infant, who was perched inside his activity chair. While Cahill was focused on helping his son master the skill, his golden retriever Nelly proved to be the perfect student. As she sat beside him, she copied his every move and raised her paw to show that she could do it, too. When her first attempts weren't getting her noticed enough, Nelly then interrupted Cahill and stood in front of him to become the star of the show. She certainly got plenty of praise for her efforts and intelligence eventually. The video was shared on Instagram (@lrcahi02) in April, and social-media users can't get enough of Nelly's main character energy. The clip has gone viral with over 1.8 million views and more than 91,000 likes on Instagram at the time of writing. From left: Lee Cahill teaches his baby how to high-five, with Nelly the golden retriever joining in.

We could not verify the details of the video. The caption alongside the clip reads: "I can do that dad! Dad, look at me, I'm doing it! DAAAAD I CAN DO IT!" It is no secret that golden retrievers are generally quite easy to train, and that's a result of their joyous temperament. The American Kennel Club highlights how eager golden retrievers are to please their owners, and training only serves to strengthen the bond they share. It is their excellent trainability that makes golden retrievers such great candidates to be service dogs, or for use in search and rescue and hunting. With that in mind, it may be no surprise that Nelly was so keen to show her owner that she has nailed the perfect high-five (even if her baby brother hasn't). Since the video was went viral on Instagram, it has captured plenty of attention from social-media users who have lauded Nelly's hilarious antics. This has led to more than 250 comments on the Instagram Reel so far. One comment reads: "Oh my heart, that's your first baby!" Another Instagram user wrote: "Put me in coach." A third person added: "Dog's like … move over I got this." One comment read: "It's giving Hermione Granger." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Backpacking Maine Coon Uses Enormous Wooly Mammoth Paws to Warn Bro of Smackdown
Backpacking Maine Coon Uses Enormous Wooly Mammoth Paws to Warn Bro of Smackdown originally appeared on Parade Pets. Siblings will always find a way to irritate each other, especially when Mom and Dad have their backs turned. The old "I'm not touching you" while waving a digit in the other's face is classic and a regular go-to when forced to spend "quality" time together. Maine Coon bros Jimmy and Beaks ride the fine line between playing and fighting when joining the parents on a backpacking adventure, but only because neither wants to get caught, scolded, and the reason all the fun ended in the first place. But Beaks found a loophole, proving sibling rivalry never dies. This video is the epitome of "tell me you have a sibling without telling me," and the pair crushed it. The way Beaks uses that paw, the size of a human foot, is enough to threaten Jimmy within an inch of his life — except he, too, has humongous, wooly mammoth bear claw paws that he could use to fight back if he wanted! Play fighting is the game of choice for the Maine Coon brothers. It doesn't matter where they are or what's going on; if the mood strikes, the claws are coming out and floof will be shed!The boys do get along every now and then, and outside of usual sibling antics, they're really well-behaved kitties. Hiking, backpacking, hanging with the fam — whatever it is, they're fully in. I've never seen a more worldly duo. Even when dressed to the nines in the finest, freshest new styles, Beaks and Jimmy can't help but start some beef. It's a rite of passage to have these sorts of interactions with your brother, so they don't skip a single chance to do it — while wearing the cutest little sweater and puffy coat! Affectionately called the "skibbidi bap," these two have perfected the art of war, at least when the war is just being in the same vicinity! If you'll notice, there's even a rage-filled look of brotherly annoyance right before Jimmy's smackdown. It's such a mood. Future smackdowns are inevitable and it's a sign the two love each other. When it comes to siblings, love isn't so much a verb that has to be shown in sweet ways. In fact, sometimes the more arguing, fighting, skibbidi bapping there is, the more each feels that love! 🐶🐾🐾 Backpacking Maine Coon Uses Enormous Wooly Mammoth Paws to Warn Bro of Smackdown first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
