From a dog "acting like a human" to get into the house to a very unimpressed pup after he was told "no" by his owner, we've seen plenty of hilarious pet content this week.
We've also been looking for fun and adorable videos and pictures of readers' pets for our weekly Pet of the Week line-up.
If you want your pet to be featured as part of our Pet of the Week, make sure to follow the instructions at the end of this story to get involved.
Winner
This week's winner is Skye, a playful pup who has a unique love for hand dryers.
"Every time she goes into a restroom with a blower hand dryer, she draws a crowd," her owner Rob Duncan told Newsweek.
Skye's fascination with the blow dry devices is just one of her many amusing quirks that bring joy and laughter to her owners' lives.
"She likes to roll down the windows when we go through the car wash so she can bite at the brush, unfortunately," Duncan shared.
When Skye isn't captivated by hand dryers or trying to nip at brushes at the car wash, she enjoys whipped cream.
"As a puppy, Skye saw a little whipped cream at the bottom of my empty plastic cup in our Prius cup holder. She dove right in after it," Duncan recalled.
Finalists
Our first finalist this week is Samantha, a rescue dog who endured abuse before finding her forever home with owner Ramon Bautista.
"[She] has been with us for almost three years and has grown to be thankful for all the good fortunes that have come her way," Bautista told Newsweek. A testament to rescues, she is now living her best life at their home in Vermont where she can often be seen rolling around on the lawn in front of their home.
Next up this week is Darbi, a food-motivated Bernedoodle who lives with her owner Cindyrae Stang.
"We brought Darbi home when she was 8 weeks old and began her basic training right away. It didn't take us long to realize she was very food motivated," Stang told Newsweek.
One memorable training session particularly reflects Darbi's dedication.
"During our lunch time training, I put her on a sit and stay command, dropped the leash, and walked about 30 feet away," Stang explained. "When I turned around, she was sitting precisely as I had left her—the leash still (unintentionally) draped over her head. She didn't move a muscle, waiting for the 'come' command and consequently, the coveted treat."
As Stang looked through her bag to find a treat, the obedient Darbi even waited while she snapped a picture of the moment—something that always brings a smile to her owner's face.
Last but not least this week is Annabelle, affectionately known as Annie.
An Alaskan Malamute, she lives with her owner Robert Ashkenes who describes her as a "a playful jovial pup without a mean bone in her body. A giant cuddle bug and just the sweetest pup you've ever met."
Despite her gentle nature, Annie does experience anxiety when left alone. However, Ashkenes, a retired Marine, ensures she is never alone.
"I'm retired, so I'm always here with her. She's a great companion for a disabled Marine," he told Newsweek.
Annie's loving and loyal presence brings joy and comfort to Ashkenes, making her an invaluable part of his life.
