Newsweek celebrates the joys of pet ownership with our weekly Pet of the Week feature. This week's winner is Augie, a 10-month-old pup who enjoys regular massages. We also feature the finalists, including Rico and Shilo, the Yorkiepoo and Morkie duo who love photo ops, Kaito, the mischievous cat who loves attention, and Brooklyn, the Maltese who thinks she's a star.
This week has been filled with adorable pet moments, from a miniature dachshund hosting a chaotic birthday sleepover to a woman struggling to cross the road with two mischievous French bulldogs. Every week, Newsweek celebrates the joys of pet ownership with our weekly Pet of the Week feature, showcasing funny and heartwarming pictures and videos shared by our readers.
If you're eager to share the spotlight with your furry companion, simply follow the instructions at the end of this article to get involved. This week's winner is Augie, a 10-month-old pup with a unique passion for self-care. In a delightful video shared by his owner, Gene Epstein, Augie confidently navigates the elevator in his house, takes a trip downstairs, and makes a beeline for the massage table. Once there, he receives a relaxing massage from his owner, which he clearly enjoys immensely. 'I've been receiving weekly massages for the last 40 years. My puppy, at ten months old, used to observe me taking the elevator down to my massage therapy room. One day, I inquired, 'Do you want a massage?' He leaped off his recliner and headed straight for the elevator,' Epstein shared with Newsweek.The week's finalists are a diverse bunch. Rico and Shilo, a Yorkiepoo and Morkie, live with their devoted owner and pet mom, Shannon Richardson. Richardson cherishes special occasions by capturing adorable photos of her pups, although getting Rico to cooperate for picture-taking can be quite a challenge. 'Shilo loves taking pictures, but it's an absolute struggle to get Rico to pose for the cameras,' she confessed to Newsweek.Next up is Kaito, the cat who embodies the perfect blend of charm and mischief. 'He is a wonderful, mischievous, and adorable cat,' owner Meenu Khanna revealed to Newsweek. Kaito particularly enjoys Khanna's attention, especially when she's working, as he makes his presence known by strategically placing himself on her keyboard. Finally, we have Brooklyn, a 6-year-old Maltese with a penchant for the spotlight. This small dog, owned by Romona Johnson, loves striking a pose and has an entire album dedicated to her picture-perfect moments. 'Brooklyn brightens my day, especially when we're out, she takes her paw and waves at everyone,' Johnson shared with Newsweek. 'I actually think she believes she's a star.'Do you have funny or heartwarming videos or pictures of your beloved pet that you'd like to share?
