If you followed along with this week’s pet headlines, you’ve likely felt a mix of emotions. From a shelter dog waiting five years to find a forever home to a cat making the owner pay after going on vacation, pets captured our hearts.
Another batch of submissions from our readers stood out, making it to this week’s edition of Newsweek “Pet of the Week.”
If you wish to be featured, follow the instructions at the end of this article to get involved and possibly featured.
Winner

This week’s winner made us laugh instantly, as the dog’s patience was wearing thin and he resorted to pettiness to get his owner back into the car.
Owner Brenda Sieren learned that her dog does not possess the virtue of patience. Sieren will run into a local café to pick up a coffee, a relatively quick errand, but sometimes the lines are long and it can take longer than expected.
If that happens, she told Newsweek via email, her dog will honk the car horn to get her out of the café.
“My boy can’t stand for me to have a cup of coffee for more than a minute,” she said.
Finalists

The first of our finalists is a submission from Matt Fielder of California. The family welcomed home a Labrador retriever mix, Molly, when she was about 1. They quickly learned she’s living up to her breed expectations, as she’s obsessed with water.
Still to this day, at 12 1/2 years old, Molly cannot get enough of the water. Fielder told Newsweek that any time she thinks her family is going out by the water, she’ll quickly claim her spot in the kayak.
Her adventures have taken her to incredible locations, including Mount Shasta. The photo Fielder submitted shows Molly sporting a water life vest, posing in front of the famous mountain.
“A rescue at the age of one, she’s without question a member of our family,” he said.

Alberta Wasden’s black cat earned a spot as one of our finalists this week after befriending a stuffed toy looking just like her.
Even though we’re still in the heart of summer, stores are beginning to put out their Halloween decorations. Wasden told Newsweek she recently saw a “Summerween stuffed black cat” on sale and knew she needed it. Not just for her cat, but for decorations when the spooky holiday came around.
However, her cat had other plans. When Wasden began taking photos of the decoration, her cat hopped onto the chair and began posing too, she said.
These twins claimed the chair as their own to snuggle, and any idea of using it as a Halloween decoration has now been thrown out the window.

Finally, last but not least, we have a dog who put in effort to find a comfy spot on a wedge pillow, which is a triangle-shaped pillow used to elevate the upper body.
K. Deinlein’s dog tried to nuzzle her way onto the slanted pillow; however, she told Newsweek, “gravity and exhaustion finally won out.”
The dog toppled off the wedge pillow and onto the ground, accepting defeat. She stayed on the ground, with her belly and paws up. This was as good a spot as she was going to get for a quick snooze session.
