Server Brings Baby to Party She's Working—Then a Guest Notices
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. Social media users have praised a family who instantly stepped up to help a server at their party who brought her baby to work. Hilda Reza, 23, was attending a Catholic confirmation party in May with her family. While they were enjoying the celebrations, they noticed that one of the servers had her 4-month-old daughter in a stroller beside her while she worked. Many of the guests complimented the server on her "beautiful baby girl," and Reza told Newsweek that her family was more than happy to help her out with some babysitting duties throughout the night. "My family is very loving, especially when it comes to children, so of course they really wanted to hold her," Reza, of Minnesota, said. Several of the guests, including Reza's mother, held the baby throughout the party and ensured she was well cared for while her mother worked. They even took the baby onto the dance floor.

I could see that she was really proud to talk about her baby when I asked how she was," Reza said. Thankfully, the server was able to tend to her daughter throughout the evening, and she didn't have to work for too long in total. Reza told Newsweek: "The party wasn't huge, so the server's job was over really fast. Of course, if any of us had seen baby cry at any point, we would have stepped up and helped her out." After seeing her family dote over the server's baby, Reza couldn't resist sharing a video on TikTok (@honey_hrm). In a matter of days, the video has gone viral with over 3 million views and more than 432,300 likes at the time of writing. She's been blown away by the online response to her video, but Reza hopes it can shine a light on the "hard-working mom" who had to bring her daughter to work. The caption alongside the video reads: "TikTok, do your work and bless this mama." The video has already garnered over 1,700 comments on TikTok, with many social media users praising the family for their help. Among the responses was a comment from the server herself, who wrote: "Thank you so much I really appreciate it, sending lots of love to your family as well." A TikTok user commented: "This made me tear up. Thank you for being kind." Another social media user wrote: "baby had the best night." While one comment reads: "Thank you! I'm sure she was scared but had no other choice! Some aren't fortunate to have the extra help!" Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share? We want to see the best ones!

Labrador Who Never Misses Mail Lady's Visit Named Pet of the Week
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. From an orange cat who hid from his sitter for four days to an unexpected pet going in for a cuddle, there have been lots of heartwarming pet stories this week. We also love to feature our readers' pet videos and pictures in the weekly Pet of the Week line-up. If you think your pet should be next week's Pet of the Week, be sure to follow the instructions at the end of this story to get involved. Winner Pictures of Emmy the dog, excitedly greeting the post lady. Pictures of Emmy the dog, excitedly greeting the post lady. Russell Fenton @EmmyTheLab/YouTube This week's Pet of the Week winner is Emmy, a Labrador retriever who has a heartwarming relationship with an unexpected person—the mail lady. While many dogs are famously cautious of the moment mail is delivered, Emmy is delighted. "Every day, Emmy patiently waits on the front lawn for her favorite visitor: Kristy the mail lady," owner Russell Fenton told Newsweek. With gentle enthusiasm, Emmy climbs into the vehicle to receive her daily treat from Kirsty. "It's a sweet and calm routine that's become a beloved part of the neighborhood," Fenton said. A heartwarming video captured the special moment, shared on Emmy's very own YouTube channel that already has over 155,000 subscribers—proving just how much her heartwarming routine resonates with pet lovers. Finalists Pictures of Jazz the dog living her best life. Pictures of Jazz the dog living her best life. Manuela Friedman Our first finalist this week is Jazz. Almost one year old, she was rescued by her owner at just 10 weeks after being discovered on the side of the streets in Torrington, Connecticut. "When I saw her scruffy face, the feathery ears, and her blue and brown eye, I just melted and applied immediately, a day later she was mine," owner Manuela Friedman told Newsweek. Since then, Jazz has filled the family with joy. "She is such a spirited and smart dog, friendly to everyone she meets," Friedman said. Her favorite things to do include chasing squirrels, chipmunks and going to visit the neighbors who are all enamored with her. "It is amazing, but somehow people are really drawn to her, strangers stop and want to touch her, give her compliments, and feel happier after getting a little puppy love from her," the owner said. Baxter the dog as a puppy, left, and recently, right. Baxter the dog as a puppy, left, and recently, right. David Markley Next up this week is Baxter who was found abandoned at a local Walmart when David Markley's sister picked him up. "He was about 7 weeks old and he was very hungry she fed him but could not keep him because she lived in an apartment and already had a dog," Markley told Newsweek. He had recently lost his beloved dog of 15 years, Yogi, but when his sister called and asked for help with Baxter, he couldn't refuse. "She brought him to the house and of course my wife and I fell in love with him and he has been with us for almost two years now," Markley said. "Baxter loves to be loved and gives it right back tenfold." Pictures of Romeo the Goldendoodle. Pictures of Romeo the Goldendoodle. Tim Nicholls Last but not least this week is goldendoodle Romeo, also known as Romeo Lloyd Nicholls, RLN, Romes, Romey and Bunny. "We chose him—or he chose our son—from his siblings as he seemed the most lively yet laid back, curious and sweet," owner Tim Nicholls told Newsweek. Eight years later, Romeo is still as lively as he was as a puppy, and a much loved part of the family. "You know he loves you as he jumps up to hug you hello and he loves everyone," Nicholls said. Romeo also has a habit remarkably similar to that of Emmy—he loves to say hello to delivery drivers. "Romeo manages to jump in the back of the Amazon truck on most days and has a particular obsession with USPS vans. When one drives by, he simply stops and stares intently until the van has disappeared," Nicholls said. If you think your pet could be next week's Newsweek "Pet of the Week," send us your funny and heartwarming videos and pictures of your pet, along with a bit about them to life@ and they could appear in our "Pet of the Week" lineup.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Is Bringing In A Marvel TV Fan-Favorite, And Now I'm Curious How This Is Going To Work
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There's almost never an easy way to introduce a Marvel character to the big screen. I know that the 2025 movie schedule just may prove us wrong, if it hasn't already, but I think the biggest WTF is about to be dropped onto the MCU table. That's because it's just been announced that another Marvel TV character is about to debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's 2026 slate, thanks to Spider-Man: Brand New Day. And considering who they brought in for No Way Home, this seems like a pretty dead giveaway. That's right, kids… it's Frank 'The Punisher' Castle! Jon Bernthal is now set to make his MCU debut on the big screen, as THR broke the news that he's now in director Destin Daniel Cretton's upcoming Marvel movie. That's surely enough to distract us all from trying to guess Sadie Sink's mysterious Brand New Day role, or what this means about Vincent D'Onofrio's 'off limits' comments when talking about a Kingpin intro, right? It's kind of wild that we're now seeing our second street level defender jumping in through the Spider-Man movies. As I previously alluded, Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home before he made his huge resurgence in Daredevil: Born Again. And when it comes to Peter Parker (Tom Holland), having him potentially pick up The Punisher's anti-hero as a mentor makes sense, both in the comics and in the wake of No Way Home's ending. We're about to see Peter enter a new era of his life, where he'll potentially be balancing a job at the Daily Bugle and classes with Dr. Otto Octavius. Hence the Brand New Day subtitle, which also cleverly works in a reference to the comic arc that saw Peter Parker embark on a massive redo after the 'One Day More' arc. Disney Plus + Hulu Bundle: From $10.99 A MonthFor as little as $10.99 a month ($19.99 a month, ad-free), you can unite the powers of the Disney+ and Hulu libraries! Not only can you catch most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in this singular streaming home, but the worlds of Star Wars and classic Disney viewing are also at your finger tips. And yes, if you go to the Hulu side of the house, that includes the original Netflix run of The Punisher. View Deal I'll leave all of the details to the comic inclined, but with Peter Parker not having MJ or Ned by his side, he's going to need some new side characters to help him through. While I wouldn't have automatically chosen Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle for the job in a PG-13 movie, I'm now deeply curious to see how this ends up working. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters on July 26, 2026! And if you want to see what Frank Castle has been up to as of late, then you can stream the first season of Daredevil: Born Again, currently available on Disney+. Maybe there's a clue to this upcoming team up that we've missed, hiding in plain sight.
