Dogs are creatures of habit, especially when it comes to their daily bathroom schedule. A sunny day usually means smooth sailing, but a rainy one can throw everything into chaos. That dynamic is on full display in a recent video of a foster puppy who decided that the rain was her ultimate arch nemesis.
Video shows how much this foster pup hates the rain
The video opens with text announcing that Muffin the foster puppy’s family has “discovered her arch nemesis,” and the culprit is none other than the rain. The small pup stands on the grass, completely soaked, with an expression that suggests she would rather be anywhere else.
Her foster mom explains that Muffin hasn’t pooped since the rain began, and it had been pouring the entire day. Despite her mom’s gentle encouragement, the foster puppy remains frozen in place, blinking through the falling drops as if questioning why the sky chose that particular day to open up.
Her foster mom also notes that bringing an umbrella wasn’t an option, since Muffin found it too scary and refused to go near it. So, out they went, unprotected from the weather, trying to make the best of the situation.
Each time Muffin looked like she was finally ready to do her business, she would stop and reconsider, unwilling to commit to the task. Her hesitation became almost comical in its consistency. She wanted relief, but not badly enough to tolerate the rain.
Eventually, after multiple attempts and plenty of encouragement, the duo decided to head back inside. Muffin trotted back indoors, still wet and still holding out, almost as if she believed she could wait out the weather entirely.
Viewers in the comments quickly fell in love with her dramatic struggle. One person joked, “Ah, a good ol’ fashioned poop strike.” Another wrote, “Justice for Muffin!! These conditions are unacceptable,” adding to the playful outrage in support of the pup.
Someone else teased that Muffin appeared to be “in extreme distress from the five dangerous raindrops.” Another commenter even suggested, “She does her best brainstorming in the rain,” imagining that Muffin’s long pauses were moments of deep, soggy contemplation.
