This week we saw the hilarious clapback of a veterinarian to people who hate their cat and their dog I’m having a little trouble adapting to the new baby in the family.

We have also collected our News week Pet of the week with the help of readers’ hilarious and adorable pet photos and videos.

If you think your pet should be next week’s pet, follow the instructions at the end of this story to get involved.

Winner

This week’s winners are Benny and Leo, an unlikely duo who enjoy a dedicated following online.

Benny is a 3-year-old German Shepherd, while Leo is a 1-year-old orange tabby cat. In a recent video, their owner, Steve McCoyne, captured the moment they were arguing over who would play with their rope toy.

“Leo insists that all of Benny’s toys are his toys. No matter what Benny plays with, Leo wants it and will stop at nothing to get it,” McCoyne said. News week.

The two men are the stars of “The Benny and Leo Show,” a popular YouTube channel capturing their antics. Benny has been Leo’s best friend since he was just 8 weeks old, and their bond has become unbreakable.

The video of the pair arguing over a rope toy delighted their fans online, with comments reacting. @LaurieValdez-zk3dy joked “I’m so happy they’re boring each other,” while viewer @WW-bt3tx said: “Mammalian martial arts is an underground fighting society and we were lucky enough to watch this match.”

Benny, despite his size and strength, often finds himself overwhelmed by his persistent little “brother”, and in the video, the cat manages to win the fight.

“Despite Benny’s best efforts, he just can’t win against his persistent redheaded little brother,” McCoyne joked.

Finalists

Our first runner-up this week is Koshka, an Afghan cat with an incredible story.

He became a member of Helene Knott’s family in 2010 after her son saved him while serving in Afghanistan. Wounded and vulnerable, Koshka was nursed back to health by Knott’s son, who in turn credits the cat with saving his life during one of his darkest moments abroad.

Knott said Koshka’s return to the United States was a “long and difficult” process, but today they are all living happily together.

Our next finalist this week is Poppy, a 4 year old Chihuahua and Jack Russell mix.

His owner Joy said News week: “She is rather spoiled but she loves life and meeting new people. She has a kennel, a tepee, many beds and lots of friends.”

In addition to being a much-loved pet, her charming personality even earned Poppy a spot on the cover of a “Praise My Pet” project.

Last but not least this week is Bubba, a dog who was rescued by owner Edward Venne. Once shy and sick, he is now living his best life.

“When I got him, he was covered in fleas, anemic and so skinny you could see his bones. He was shy and kept his distance,” Venne said. News week.

But soon after his adoption, Bubba began to relax, curling up on the couch right behind Venne. Today, Bubba is a vibrant, happy dog ​​who has come a long way from his difficult beginnings. Two years ago, he even became the father of a litter of eight puppies.
