There have been many stories of dogs that have been separated from their owners and have been unable to do anything other than wait for them to get back.

It is heartbreaking to see one dog, who in a viral video posted to TikTok, waits outside an establishment each day, even in the pouring rain for her owner – but now, they have been reunited.

A dog appears in the video, sitting outside a shop in Sembilan, Malaysia, in the pouring rain, looking sad.

As Jim wrote, the dog had been waiting outside the same shop for four days without moving. He tried calling the dog over to help her, but she refused.

It is clear from the video that the dog will keep waiting until her owner returns before accepting the food.

There’s no denying that this is a heartbreaking sight, but the story has a happy ending.

It has been reported by Malaysian outlet SAYS that the video’s viral popularity helped the missing dog, Bairava, reunite with his owner. She had been missing for eight months before Vaani saw the video.

Vaani headed to the spot where Bairava had been waiting, leading to a heartwarming reunion: “I went there and called her name… we were all crying and hugging (our dog),” she told SAYS.

Rain or shine, the dog waited at the same spot for her owner to show up.

Vaani told SAYS that her dog, named Bairava, was found about 4km away from the location she was lost after eight dreadful months.https://t.co/QJZX6o9uUy

The dog was rescued by Vaani, a 40-year-old mother, five years ago as a stray. During the recovery process, Vaani separated the two and that’s when the dog disappeared.

A video of the faithful dog waiting for her was the only thing that allowed the owner to locate her.
