UPDATE: A lovable Boxer named Scout has just been crowned ‘Pet of the Week’ for his hilarious obsession with toy construction vehicles, delighting readers and pet lovers alike. Scout’s antics, submitted by his grandmother Cynthia Hannah, showcase the charm of this playful pup who lives in Western Massachusetts.
In a heartwarming twist, Scout’s undeniable love for a toy bulldozer has captivated audiences. He can be seen running around for hours, barking joyfully as he pushes the toy, often stopping to ensure his human friends are watching. “If someone is watching and you ask him to push it, turn it around, etc., he will listen and do what you tell him,” Hannah told Newsweek. The 5-year-old Boxer, who has a knack for crashing into things, is described as a “special character” who brings joy to his family.
This week’s ‘Pet of the Week’ announcement comes amid a surge of delightful pet stories, bringing smiles to many. In addition to Scout, other finalists include a shoe-obsessed cat, a resilient Chihuahua, and a vanity-loving spaniel.
Finalist Oreo, a 12-year-old cat from Sarasota, Florida, has recently developed a peculiar obsession with shoes. Rescued by owner PJ Hahn, Oreo was found living under city hall and has come a long way since his tumultuous beginnings. Now, he can’t resist cuddling with footwear, a quirky habit that started just three months ago.
Meanwhile, Suki, a Chihuahua born weighing only 60 grams, celebrated her 4th birthday this past March, defying the odds with determination. Owner Helen Bright shared Suki’s incredible journey, noting that she now weighs around 2 pounds, proving that size doesn’t limit spirit.
Lastly, the adorable spaniel Mabel captured hearts with a comical moment when she was caught staring at her reflection in a mirror. Her owner, known only as Blons, aptly dubbed the snapshot “Mabel and the Looking Glass.”
