This week’s Pet of the Week winner is Brody, a golden retriever puppy who gained viral attention for his impressive skill—ringing the doorbell when he’s ready to come indoors.
At just 3 months old, Brody mastered this adorable trick, thanks to his owner, New York realtor Amanda Lavender.
She installed the doorbell at the perfect height for the pint-sized pup, making it easy for him to signal his comings and goings.
Lavender initially taught Brody the trick to simplify outdoor routines and filmed a video of his clever antics to share with his breeder. But the heartwarming clip quickly gained attention online, amassing millions of views on Instagram.
“I taught [him] to ring a doorbell to come in or go out,” Lavendar told Newsweek. “I then videoed it to show the breeder, and it went viral over the summer,”

Last, but not least this week, is Buddy and Sadie, two dogs that are best friends but have delightfully contrasting personalities.
“Buddy is an 11-year-old Bluetick Coon Hound who loves his sister and loves to sleep the day away, [while] Sadie is an energetic 3-year-old German Shepard Labrador who loves everything and everyone,” owner Brandon Zacharias told Newsweek.
Together, the pair are a big part of their owner’s life, and whether it’s Buddy’s peaceful naps or Sadie’s enthusiastic antics, this lovable duo keeps the household full of joy.
