Hey, everyone! It’s me, your attention-loving and tail-wagging news hound!
It’s certainly been a few wags of the tail. Sorry to worry you, good people and pets.
Nothing to stress-yawn about here. #JournoDog has been OK. Have just been sniffing the sniffs in my own backyard, keeping close to my comfort zone in case anyone tries to snatch up my Ma and Dad and deport them back to Viking land or Land of Kings.
You may remember my call of duty is to sniff out the news and unbury scoops (of food), digging up leads as much as my leash and doggo journo-training will allow.
Tail wags are tough to find these days. Lots of craziness since Orange Pumpkin Man went back to the White House. No dog there, but he’s certainly unleashed the chaos. And it’s a ladder in a game of human stupidity.
Yet, here we are. And despite it all, there are places to find tail wags. Even when the written news and TV news are scary and stressful, there is hope.
This story is one example:
A little fluffster doggo seeing himself on the local TV news broadcast and being all tail wags about it!
Certainly not the first time this has been captured, but it’s always fun to see. As it was earlier in 2025, reading the news story about James Gunn’s dog Ozu reacting to seeing himself as Krypto in the newest Superman movie!
Per that MSN story:
“This is my dog Ozu barking at the screen,” Gunn explains in a video posted to social media, showing Ozu having a bit of a fit while watching the now familiar trailer scene where Krypto tries to play with an injured Superman, only to finally save him by taking him back to the Fortress of Solitude.
“Krypto was actually 3D modeled after Ozu’s body,” Gunn continues. “We 3D captured Ozu and turned him into Krypto. We turned him white. And anyway, every time he sees himself come on screen, he tries to murder himself.”
Gunn previously revealed that Ozu was the inspiration for Krypto, explaining how he adopted Ozu (who is presumably named after Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu), with the pup’s difficult circumstances inspiring Gunn’s inclusion of Krypto in the movie.
“Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman,” Gunn stated back in October. “Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least.”
VERY COOL!
Gotta find the tail wags where you can, in this not so “super world”… (and no, don’t even get me started in the former Superman actor Dean Cain these days… grrrrrr!).
Until the next time, whenever the news beckons like a barking dog you can’t help but pay attention to, #JournoDog out.
As always, remember: Love your pets. Read a newspaper. Support local journalism. Keep supporting Big Bird, as it’s even more important now. Trust true science and not propaganda. Be kind to each other, no matter what. And even when scared or stressed, try to smile and find a little happiness for your heart every day.
