You can use the perfect in a headline but I think it's probably less common because it takes up more space. Headlines are all about presenting information as compactly as possible.

There are a lot of choices. I think that its would usually be left out of that sort of headline, though.
It's internet slang for dog:
Doggo is an internet slang term for dog, which is often associated with the word pupper in various ironic meme communities online.

I guess you can think of it as a humorous way to say dog. I've never heard anyone say this in person, but I imag...

I like this answer. I also think doggo is interesting. I personally only learned about it fairly recently.
Since you've mentioned that it's only 6pm then "Good evening" is your choice, it means "expressing good wishes on meeting or parting during the evening.".
We usually say "Good night" when the time is for a normal person to sleep, like 9-6pm for instance. "Good night" often means "I'm off to bed"...
The dictionary this answer quotes (and other dictionaries corroborate this usage as well) says good evening can be used on parting during the evening. I don't think I've ever heard anyone using it in that situation, i.e., on parting. I looked it up in three learner's dictionaries, and that part of the definition seems to have been omitted.
Learner's dictionaries often simplify stuff, and I'm aware of that, but this is such a trivial thing.
It suggests, to me, that the expression is indeed not that common with that sense.
If this were a matter of dialect, they would've indicated it by labeling it British English or especially American English or similarly. Moreover, if it were obsolescent or archaic, or particularly formal, they would've put it up there along with the main definition and, again, labeled it accordingly.
Wonder if the meaning is different based on dialect. I've never heard Good Evening used as a way to say goodbye. In my experience, Good Morning is a hello, Good Afternoon is a hello, Good Evening is a hello, Good Day is a goodbye and Good Night is a goodbye. Good Day I've heard more often in the dismissal tone though, unless "Have a" comes before it. — Brett AllenFeb 18 '11 at 5:02

I just need your native intuition in this regards. At the same time your analytical response.
The next events passed in the darkness behind her eyelids. Eri letting
go of the barrier and leaning forward. Her/She being shoved violently
backward. Her/She tumbling down, ending face up on the floor.
Is she or her the correct word? Why?
I wonder if this is because accusative is the default case in English, or because the sentence extends into: "...the events of her tumbling down, etc."
Hm.
No, I think this is just a chopped up sentence, and that may not even be accusative but genitive. Her is so convenient because it's- that word which starts with an S.
