Worms in Dogs: Prevent, Diagnose, and Treat Different Types of Worms
Pidoodles? Doodlepits? Shelter Has No Idea What To Call Rare Mix-Breed Pups
An unusual pack of puppies have been causing a stir at Monmouth County Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) thanks to their unexpected genealogy.
Thought to be the result of a goldendoodle and pit bull mix, the puppies affectionately dubbed "pidoodles" or "doodlepits" by staff have quickly melted hearts.
"The puppies were surrendered to the Monmouth County SPCA by owners who were unable to care for them," Barbara Lovell from the society in New Jersey told Newsweek.
"This is why we like to encourage people to spay and neuter their dogs. They came to us pretty skinny and definitely in need of bathing. It also appears that the owners did very little to no socializing with them, but they are friendly little babies," she explained.

"They are active, gangly little pups with sweet temperaments," said Lovell. "We guesstimate that they'll all grow up to be medium-sized dogs—and a conversation piece!"
The puppies have been fully spayed, neutered and vaccinated and are excited to meet potential new families.
In hundreds of comments on the society's Facebook page people were delighted by the unusual dogs and shared their reactions.
"Cutie pitoodies of course," said Tara. While Kim dubbed them: "Designer pitties."
"Pit Boodles," said Carol. "They are going to be so smart and loving!"
Another Facebook user said: "I bet their tails never stop wagging," a comment the shelter replied to and said: "You're right about that!"
This is far from the first time people have been captivated by an unusual dog breed mix. Like when Chuepy—a rare mix of six different breeds—captured viral attention for his unusual looks.
Earlier this year people were left guessing which two dog breeds made up a rare yet "lovable" mix in 9-year-old Tucker. At 18-inches tall and 30 pounds in weight, he has unusual proportions and a lot of love to give.
When it comes to the "pitdoodle" puppies, all five are currently on the adoption floor at the New Jersey shelter waiting for new homes.

Monmouth County SPCA"The only requirements we have for these pups is a loving home where they can play and run around like any active, medium-sized dog," Lovell said.
But she pointed out another essential quality of adopters, too.
"I'd like to add that a loving home is one where a new owner is committed to training their puppy," she added. "Unfortunately, we see many older dogs surrendered to our shelter because their owners failed to provide simple training through puppyhood, and then decide that they are unable to deal with their dog's behavior."
The right training is something that is particularly important for young dogs that have come from a rescue situation: "These puppies came from what could have been a chaotic environment," explained Lovell. "[They] deserve owners who have the time and patience to teach them to live their best lives as a treasured pet."

New Wolf Dog Dad Avoids Puppies As He Tries To 'Run Away From His Problems'
A hilarious TikTok video has captured how a "wolf dog" 'runs' away from his responsibilities as a new dad.
The humorous glimpse into the animal kingdom, which shows the similarities between canine and human behaviors, has resonated with viewers across the world. The social-media video that filmed the male dog seemingly avoiding his new parental duties has gone viral, amassing over 1.7 million views in just one day.
The video, posted by TikTok user @walkingwithmako, features a clip of the large adult canine skirting around his litter of energetic puppies and propping himself up on the sofa in what appears to be an attempt at escaping them.
The post has been aptly captioned: "Mako trying to run away from his problems."
The clip opens with the wolf dog, Mako, peering curiously at his new offspring from a safe distance. As the puppies notice him and begin to toddle closer, Mako's retreat further away into the sofa begins. With a blend of confusion and a hint of dread readable in his movements, he backs away, leading the litter of young pups on a comical quest to jump up towards him.
Each attempt by the puppies to engage their father in typical playful antics ends with Mako backing slightly away in stoic fashion, to the amusement of many viewers. The dog eventually leaped off the sofa and attempted to leave the room the puppies were in, before he was caught up by them and encouraged to engage in some play.
The scene has struck a chord with thousands not only for its cuteness but also for its humanlike portrayal of parental overwhelm, a feeling familiar to many new parents who might feel unprepared for the chaos of new offspring. The video's caption, "Mako trying to run away from his problems," encapsulates the humor and reality of the situation.

A viral video captured a "wolf dog's" attempted escape from his new parental duties. @walkingwithmakoWhile Mako's owner hasn't disclosed his pet's breed here, he has referred to him as a "wolf dog" in a number of past posts to the platform.
The video has not only provided a good laugh but also sparked conversations about the nature of animal behavior, particularly in domesticated animals that exhibit traits remarkably similar to human responses.
Social-media users flooded the comments section with laughter and empathetic remarks, drawing parallels between Mako's antics and human attempts to snatch a moment of peace away from parental responsibilities. Other users have highlighted how the dog's behavior was simply how adult canines teach their pups certain behaviors.
"Put them in check Mama," one user wrote.
"He is teaching them how to defend themselves," another commented.
A third shared: "Can literally hear the dog saying, 'I love you but back off, I need some space'."
"Those are the consequences of your actions sir," a different user posted.
Another wrote: "The pups that copied him laying down upside down were so cute."
As the video became a new favorite online, Mako's escapades serve as a lighthearted reminder of the universality of seeking a little respite, no matter the species.
One user commented: "[He] just needs break."
Newsweek reached out to @walkingwithmako for more information via TikTok.
