Our pets often have these adorable quirks, and it's just heart-melting to watch how their owners go the extra mile to make them happy. Remember Sakari, the sweet husky who's head over paws for snow? Her dad even built her a special snow fort! Isn't that the cutest? Now, let's meet Alvin, the lovable pup who's head over tail for the rain. Alvin is paraplegic, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying the rain. Why? Because he's got a proud dad who's always ready to carry him out to enjoy the rain.

Alvin has a proud fur dad who knows everything about him, even his strangest hobby. And his name is Agea Santos.

Agea Santos is an artist living in Salvador, Brazil. He has two furry friends he loves dearly: Alvin and his sweet sibling, Nina.

Agea Santos knows everything about his two lovely puppies, and he knows for sure that with Alvin, it must be an opportunity to take a shower in the rain.

“Alvin always liked the rain; whenever it rained, he would go to the window and bark and bark,” shared Ana Pontes in a post. "It took me a while to realize that he was trying to tell me that he wanted to take a shower when he barked outside the window during a downpour."

Alvin also shared that, at an early age, he already believed that rain showers brought comfort to him; their coolness soothed his body and mind. Besides, he also stated that it was not surprising to know that the therapeutic power of nature had a profound impact, benefiting not only humans but also their beloved animal friends.

Unfortunately, though the rainfall had always held a special place in Alvin's heart, his lower body's paralysis always made it challenging to participate in this cherished experience.

As Alvin’s health condition was not really good, it actually prevented him from running outside and enjoying the rain. Agea Santos once shared, "He lost mobility on his left side, including his eyesight, as a result of the stroke, so he is slowly relearning how to walk.”

Nonetheless, Agea Santos was determined not to let his loyal companion miss out on the simple joys of refreshing showers under the open sky.

Even though Alvin cannot enjoy the rain himself, it doesn’t matter. Agea can always help him enjoy it! He can carry Alvin out whenever it’s raining. And isn’t it so adorable to witness?
