A dog owner's first vacation with her furry companion, Oskar, turned into a heartwarming revelation as she saw him enjoying himself on holiday.
In a viral TikTok video, the creator shared a clip of Oskar, a poodle, tail wagging and enjoying himself on a pool chair. She confessed that she is "never leaving him home again," inspiring others to bring their pets on their next getaways. Since the video was posted, it has received over 270,000 views.
"POV [point of view]: You take your dog on vacation for the first time and realize you're never leaving him home again," the owner captioned the video. "Take this as your sign to bring your dog on your next vacation."

The video resonated with viewers, many of whom expressed a desire to have a travel experience of their own with their pets.
"I really want to do this!" one user wrote. "How did you make sure the place you were staying is secure for him / was it a dog friendly Airbnb?" The owner, from Germany, responded with practical advice: "We looked for dog-friendly Airbnbs and asked the owner in advance whether the property is fenced. Best decision."
Another commenter shared an anecdote of their own pet's distress when left behind: "I've stopped going abroad, as the one time I left my dog she was absolutely distraught when I came back," they wrote. "She was yelping, and I was crying. I now go to … a rented cottage and we both absolutely love it. She loves the beach."
"Taking your CHILD on vacation, as everyone should," one commenter summed up.
Tips for Traveling Safely With Pets
For those inspired to set off on pet-friendly adventures, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) offered some comprehensive advice for ensuring a safe and happy trip in a press release.
The society emphasized proper preparation for road trips, advising owners to acclimate their pets to the road with a series of short drives first. It is also crucial to keep them up to date with their vaccinations for interstate travel.
Identification is also key: "Identify your pet with a tag attached to the collar or harness, and a permanent form of identification like a microchip," the release read. The ASPCA cautioned against complacency: "Don't: Assume your pet will never run from you. Unrestrained pets in unfamiliar circumstances can become frightened or startled and may panic and run into traffic or away from you."
With these tips in mind, pet owners inspired by poodle Oskar's vacation can participate in the growing trend of integrating their furry friends into travel plans.

Pregnant Woman About to Miss Her Flight—Pilot Steps In to Save the Day
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 group of women trying to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday almost had their trip ruined when they were in danger of missing their connecting flight—until the pilot stepped up to save the day. Brittany Kamerman, 28, was traveling with seven friends to Panama City Beach, Florida, to celebrate the milestone birthday in May, but the long trek from Salt Lake City, Utah, came with some hiccups. "We had a 45-minute layover in Dallas, but our first flight was delayed by 50 minutes, so I was fully prepared for us to miss our connection," Kamerman told Newsweek. Read more They Ordered One Bottle of Wine—Then Got Hit With $2,000 Charge They Ordered One Bottle of Wine—Then Got Hit With $2,000 Charge Eventually landing just 30 minutes before their connection was due to take off, Kamerman, who was sitting at the front of the plane, rushed to the gate—an 18-minute walk away—and got there in time to board, with a friend who had caught an earlier flight already waiting there. But her group was still far behind her, including friend Kiley, 30, who was seven months pregnant at the time and naturally wasn't able to move as fast as usual. And so, Kamerman pleaded with the gate agents to hold the plane for a few minutes as the group made their way across the airport. "But the gate agents were so rude—I was shocked," Kamerman said, revealing the agents refused to hold the flight. Newsweek has contacted American Airlines via email outside of normal working hours and will update this article if they respond. "I fly a lot, and usually if a group is running to make a connection because of a delay—especially to a tiny airport that closes at 10pm—the agents will wait. I even told them we had a pregnant friend coming, but I don't think they believed me." She said they "stalled as long as we could," before Kamerman boarded to "try and talk to someone" about the situation.

TikTok @brittanykamerman "I was super frustrated and explained the situation to the flight attendant. Then the pilot overheard and asked what was going on." And when she shared the story to the pilot, she said, he was only too willing to help, declaring: "Well, they won't leave without me." "He was so nice, and actually got off the plane to help. I couldn't believe it!" The chaos of the connection was caught on video and shared to Kamerman's TikTok account, @brittanykamerman, on June 12, set to the sound of Elton John's I'm Still Standing and describing the pilot as "our hero." It shows the remainder of the group rushing to the gate, having rushed all the way there, with the clip taken by Kamerman's friend, Ali. The camera then shows the group piling on to the plane, this time taken by Kamerman who has already boarded. It shows one woman holding her arms up as though she's just crossed the finish line at a marathon, and all of them grinning and laughing. Kamerman's clip proved popular online, having been viewed more than 1.2 million times since it was shared earlier this month, as commenters shared their own stories. Read more What is Airport Theory?

The Gen Z travel trend is 'recipe for disaster' One recalled: "Our flight was 6 hours delayed in Georgia and they had no one to load the luggage. Our pilots got off and loaded all our luggage so we could get home. They were out of breath when they spoke through the speaker." "I had no idea I was sitting next to an off duty pilot on a flight. We were running late. I was about to miss my connecting flight. He left his seat. He came back a few minutes later and said they'll be a golf cart waiting for you. They're holding the plane," another shared, adding: "Love pilots. My dad was one." Others defended the gate agents, suggesting they could have been in trouble if they held the gate and it would be "out of the gate agent's hands." On American Airlines' website, it advises passengers that boarding closes 15 minutes before departure, and "if you're not on board, we may reassign your seat to another passenger. You will not be allowed to board once the doors close." Air travel is an enormous market in the US, expected to generate a revenue of $246.12 billion in 2025, with an estimated growth of around 2.47% annually, according to Statista. By 2029, it's expected the number of users in the air travel and flight market will reach 86.37 million. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures you want to share?

Where to Eat, Drink and Chill in Kauai's Tastiest Beach Town
Before traveling to Hawaii for the first time, I spent hours browsing through Instagram and TikTok foodie posts. Gathering ideas for all the delicious meals I'd eat, I had high expectations for the food in Poipu Beach, located on the south shore of Kauai. As it turns out, this island's food scene impressed me even more than expected. From nicer, more sophisticated spots like Red Salt Restaurant to quick bar bites at Kalapaki Joe's, check out these best Kauai food and drink spots on your next visit. These must-visit restaurants in Kauai won't let you down. I love Indian food and will make a point to grab it during any trip. This tucked-away restaurant, "That Indian Place", has excellent food and will adjust to your spice preferences. I ordered the butter chicken (mild) and the chicken sagwala (mild), along with some garlic naan bread. The local atmosphere and outdoor dining patio really made this place stand out as one of my favorite spots to eat throughout the whole trip. Top menu items Mango LassiButter ChickenChicken Tikka MasalaChicken SagwalaPaneer Tikka Stop by Brennecke's Beach Broiler as you stroll along Poipu Beach for a lively, vibrant atmosphere. Locals and visitors alike know this top spot as one of the best places for food and drink on Kauai. While crowded, you can grab some phenomenal bites here as well as tropical-style frozen cocktails. I loved the desserts here too. If you plan on doing some appetizer or bar hopping along the main strip, definitely make this restaurant/bar a must-visit spot. Top menu items Seafood Pupu PlatterMango MadnessLava Lava FlowPineapple Rum Upside Down Cake If you want to try a Loco Moco, stop by Red Salt Restaurant, attached to the beautiful Ko'a Kea Resort. This spot served the best Loco Moco I had while in Hawaii. A Loco Moco is a Hawaiian favorite comfort food, made with white rice, gravy, a hamburger patty, and topped with a fried egg. It sounds interesting, but trust me once you try it, you'll want to order it time and time again. The ocean views from this restaurant also set the scene for a nice meal. Top menu items Lemon Pineapple PancakesLoco Moco Acai Bowl Unlike other islands with numerous national chains, Kauai offers a more locally inspired dining scene. This laid-back, down-to-earth island provides numerous options for fresh, local seafood, including mahimahi, ahi tuna, and ono. The island also has many traditional Hawaiian plates to try. I highly recommend trying at least one classic Hawaiian dish, such as the Loco Moco, during your visit. You'll also find spam musubi almost everywhere, another classic food in Kauai.

Travelers: Adam Scott Ties Career Low Despite Changes to PGA Tour Schedule
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. Adam Scott had to recover quickly from an extraordinarily difficult final round of the U.S. Open. Like most of his peers, he didn't have much time to heal his physical and emotional wounds because he had to play in the Travelers Championship the following week. At TPC River Highlands, Scott seemed to still be affected by what he experienced at Oakmont. However, that concern was put to rest during the third round. The Australian tied his PGA Tour career-low record on Moving Day, shooting a 62. "It was all good today. The big difference was I putted nicely right out of the gate," he said. "Made one on 1, freed up a little bit there. So, I believe I'm playing this well, but you've got to make some putts at the end of the day to shoot a number, so that was the difference between the first two days and today."

I knew I was going to have to play this week." "I actually think now the last couple years, having these Signature Events after majors, not that I've been in contention at all the majors, but like having to change my habits a little bit." "For my whole career I pretty much took every week off after a major, and all of a sudden we're playing big events right on the back of it." The PGA Tour has been using the strategy of scheduling Signature Events the week after major championships. For example, the RBC Heritage was played after the Masters Tournament, the Memorial Tournament after the PGA Championship, and the Travelers Championship after the U.S. Open. He seems to like this place! Adam Scott matches his career-low of 62, which came most recently at the #TravelersChamp in 2023. — TravelersChamp (@TravelersChamp) June 21, 2025 The Open Championship is the only major that will not be followed by an elevated event. Top players will have three weeks to recover before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin with the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Adam Scott carded an eagle, seven birdies, and a bogey during the third round of the Travelers Championship, climbing more than 30 spots on the leaderboard. He improved his performance by 10 strokes compared to the previous rounds, in which he had carded consecutive 72s. He entered the final round of the US Open tied for second, but he was just another victim of Oakmont Country Club. He shot a final round 79, with one birdie, eight bogeys, and one double bogey, to finish in a tie for 12th place. More Golf: Justin Thomas Joins Scottie Scheffler atop Travelers Championship
