A lost dog in Malaysia was reunited with her owner after a video of the pet waiting outside a shop in the pouring rain went viral.
The video, which was posted to TikTok by user @jimjimmie in December last year, shows the dog sitting outside a shop in Sembilan. According to the shop’s owner, the dog had been sitting outside for four days straight.
Jim, who usually records himself feeding stray animals, entices the dog to move into the shade with some food.
“Come here, dog… Come eat. Even if you don’t want to eat, please stand under the shade here,” Jim says in the video, according to SAYS.
