During a halftime show at a Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals football game at SoFi Stadium, Rigatoni the Fluffy Corgi unexpectedly steals the spotlight. As part of the halftime Corgi race, Rigi takes off across the field, turning the event into a hilarious chase when her owner runs after her but can’t keep up with her speed and agility. The playful pup zigzags across the turf, dodging every attempt to be caught, much to the amusement of the crowd. What starts as a routine halftime moment quickly becomes a lighthearted, crowd-pleasing scene with fans laughing and cheering. Credit: fetchmeastella

Nina loves to bop her balls off her nose at the local parks. We discovered this 3 years ago after we rescued her from the dog pound. Once we seen her unique talent, we have done this every day ever since.

I, Michal Shafer, walked out of my bedroom around 6:45 pm to find the neighbor dog, Billie, a 15 month old boxer, sleeping on my couch. My two dogs, Jett and Jemma, 20 month old Giant Schnauzers, sleeping on the floor. Billie had busted a hole in the fence between our yard and ours and I had just recently installed a doggie door.

Someone must have forgotten to look in the mirror this morning. Respect to Maruśka for her patience! Where does this bravado come from in a male Chinese muntjac? It's the call of nature! His partner is in heat, and the bachelor is pumping with testosterone. He needs to release his energy and show who's boss—even if his sparring partner weighs 1.7 tons. Who would have thought such a warrior could be hidden in that tiny body? Credit: ZOO Wroclaw

Daisy and Dobby's Boxing Day tradition continues: is it the carrot or the box they're really after this time? Either way, it's another hilarious round of box-destroying fun as these two team up to tear into their Boxing Day surprise. Watch the chaos unfold until Daisy triumphantly trots off with her prize. These two never fail to make a box into the best toy ever! Credit: Daisyndobby Jackrussell

In spring of 2025, we found a bunch of old baseball caps placed in a circle around the half-finished basement of our cabin. We put the hats back in box they'd been stored in, and set up a trail cam and a security cam to find out who was running around our basement. Over the next few nights, we saw this rat come back and re-create the circle of hats! Months later, she's still returning regularly to "decorate" the room, and we love seeing her work...and wondering what she's up to. (We don't know if she's really a girl, but we've started calling her "Callie").
