Chihuahua Melts Hearts As Owner Shows Where He Chooses To Sleep
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 tiny chihuahua catching some rest beneath their newborn human sibling has captured hearts across the internet. Rebecca Finch (@hazelshouse_), from Birmingham, England, shared a video on TikTok of her baby, Theodore, peacefully asleep in his crib—with one of the family's chihuahuas, Bambi, snuggled up directly underneath. The heartwarming clip, which has received 243,800 views and 11,100 likes, shows the duo in a bunk bed-style setup, with the camera panning from Theodore down to Bambi nestled below. "Since we bought baby Theodore home the cat and the chihuahua have just adored him. He had to spend some time on the neonatal unit at Birmingham Women's Hospital and he came out just in time for Christmas. The first photo is the night he came home! The pets are very much part of the family and they love my older daughter Hazel too," Finch told Newsweek. Alongside Bambi, the family also has another chihuahua named Tinks—who also enjoys snoozing under the crib—and a cat called Minnie.

The Dogs Trust, a UK-based animal welfare charity, offers guidance for families introducing a new baby into a household with dogs. According to their advice, early planning and gradual introductions are key: "Allow your dog to explore baby items in advance and ensure they continue to get positive attention, so they associate the baby with good experiences." Ensuring a calm environment and creating safe spaces for both baby and pets can help foster harmonious relationships.

"Our Jack Russell always sleeps under the crib," said one user. "That's too cute. Chihuahuas are the best dogs," added another viewer. "My Frenchie does this," said Jessica. "That is 100% The reason for the basket and when the baby out grows the crib the dog gets to sleep in that part( my dog slept in one but he was 15kg, so it only lasted a few years and we upgraded to a giant footstool for him)," commented Katherine. "Isn't this what they were designed for. Super cute," another user chimed in. "Aww two beautiful adorable sleeping babies together," said another viewer.

Player positions: Who's who in the rugby team zoo?
The countdown to the Springboks' return to Gqeberha is on — and the city's pulse is starting to race. As anticipation builds for the Bok showdown against Italy on 12 July, radio veteran Daron Mann is back with Rugby Skool — a tongue-in-cheek rugby crash course for those who've ever wondered 'Who does what, anyway?' Rugby's players are a motley crew, each with a job that's slightly weirder than the last. In Rugby Skool today, we're touring the pitch's zoo, where 15 players per team range from nimble gazelles to human bulldozers. Let's meet the cast. Up front, the props and hooker (front row) are the scrum's meat shields, built like vending machines, with tempers to match. The props push; the hooker hooks (snares the ball with his foot) and also feeds the ball into lineouts. Behind them are the locks — tall, lanky giraffes whose main job is to steal balls at lineouts, and to snarl while doing so. Flankers and the number eight are the back-row hustlers — fast, tough, with unresolved anger issues, always in the ref's face. Those are the forwards. Now to the backs The scrumhalf is the team's hyperactive Jack Russell, yapping incessantly while zipping the ball from scrums and rucks. The flyhalf is the pretty boy maestro, kicking and calling plays while ensuring his hair is date night-ready. Flanks love flattening flyhalves. Then you have the two centers, they crash through defences like rhinos on rollerblades, and wingers sprint like they're late for a bus, chasing glory. The fullback? He's the last-ditch hero, catching kicks and praying he doesn't fumble. Each position is a puzzle piece in rugby's chaotic masterpiece. Watch in wonder as a wing deftly dodges a defender (as well as a visit to Casualty!) or as a prop flattens his prey — it's poetry, but with concussions.
