The video was posted by TikTok user @jimjimmie in December. A dog sits outside a shop in Sembilan, Malaysia in the pouring rain, looking sad.

It was clear the dog was waiting for someone. Jim tries to call the dog over to help her, but she doesnโt move. He wrote that the dog had been outside the same shop for four days straight.
In the video, the dog does accept the food she is given, but itโs clear she will keep on waiting in the same spot until her owner returns.
Itโs a heartbreaking sight, but thankfully this story has a happy ending.
According to the Malaysian outlet SAYS, the viral popularity of the video helped the dog reunite with her owner. They report that the dog, whose name is Bairava, had been missing for eight months, until her owner Vaani saw the video online.
Vaani headed to the spot where Bairava had been waiting, leading to a heartwarming reunion: โI went there and called her nameโฆ we were all crying and hugging (our dog),โ she told SAYS.
Vaani, a 40-year-old mother, says she rescued the dog as a stray five years ago. The two were separated while Vaani was recovering from a sickness and thatโs when the dog went missing.
Weโre so glad Bairava is finally home! Itโs clear this loyal dog missed her owner a lot!
