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.

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?

Yayasan Petronas adopts 50 schools under Sekolah Angkat Madani initiative
PUTRAJAYA: Yayasan Petronas has adopted 50 schools nationwide in the government's Sekolah Angkat Madani initiative, with a key focus on enhancing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Its chief executive officer, Nelly Francis, said the foundation's involvement is centred on schools that currently participate in its Duta Guru Programme (PDG), a long-term initiative aimed at strengthening STEM teaching and learning. "Under this initiative, we have selected 50 schools out of the 1,000 nationwide that are already involved in our PDG. "These schools were chosen based on specific criteria, including their active participation in our existing programmes," she told reporters when met after the launch of the initiative today. The launch was attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. Nelly said priority was given to schools located in rural areas, with the majority of them in Sabah, Sarawak, Terengganu and Johor, as well as several schools in Kedah, Perak and Kelantan. As part of the support, she said teachers from the selected schools will undergo a two-year professional development programme designed to equip them with skills to cultivate students' interest in STEM and guide them towards pursuing careers in the field. "It is not just about improving the teaching environment, but also inspiring students to view STEM as a viable and exciting career path," she said. Apart from empowering teachers, Yayasan Petronas also runs programmes for students under the Student Innovation Centre, provides contributions to improve school science laboratories, and develops STEM hubs in six regions. "We have completed STEM hubs in Tanjung Garam, Kuala Terengganu and Miri, Sarawak, while new hubs in Sabah, Johor, Melaka and Perak are currently under construction," she said. Nelly said these STEM hubs serve as platforms for teachers to further refine and apply the skills gained through PDG, as well as collaborate with other educators in their districts to enrich classroom learning. "All students in the adopted schools will be involved, particularly those who are pursuing STEM-related subjects," she said. Nelly reaffirmed that advancing STEM education remains one of Yayasan Petronas' core missions. "Right now, one of our key targets is to increase students' participation in STEM. We believe through sustained collaboration with teachers and schools, we can help shape the future of Malaysia's STEM talents," she said.

But Ashanti suggested she hadn't had to work hard to pursue the 50-year-old singer. She said: "He wanted to get got." The 44-year-old pop star previously admitted she was initially shocked that her feelings for Nelly had returned because she thought they had "gone" away after the end of their relationship the first time round. She told E! News: "It was, 'I can't believe these feelings came back. "That's what it was for me. When we first started talking and dating again it was like, 'Wait a minute, these feelings were gone. How did they creep back?" Ashanti also admitted she and Nelly - who has Chanelle, 30, and Cornell, 25, with Channetta Valentine and then adopted his sister's children after she passed away -are keen to have more children. She said: "I am feeling amazing, incredibly pleased, humbled. "My life has completely changed for the better. I feel full, you know? My cup is full. "We're going to add some more.

Meanwhile, Nelly revealed he married the Foolish hitmaker in December 2023 because she was pregnant. Speaking on The Bootleg Kev podcast, he said: "I was like, 'Yo, you know what? Let's just knock this [wedding] out because we're going to be doing so much and everything's moving so fast.' "I didn't want her to be a baby mama, you know what I mean? "Because we already knew where we were in life. If we're back like this, this must be what it's supposed to be." Ashanti and Nelly did not confirm that they had married until June 2024, and just over a month later, she gave birth to their son.
