Xena is a senior rescue dog who spent nearly a decade surviving on the streets of Mexico on her own. But her fortunes changed when she was adopted by a child-free millennial in Portland, Maine, who treats her like a queen. This sweet girl, often called Xenie Bean, finally has a permanent home to call her own. The human who runs @streetanimalrescuealliance loves seeing how much she has transformed. Xena spent eight years wondering where her next meal would come from; now her biggest concern is whether the rain looks better while sitting or standing.
Senior rescue dog lived on the streets for years, now watches the rain from her home
The video by @streetanimalrescuealliance shows Xena standing right in an open doorway while rain falls steadily outside. It is a chilly 40 degrees, but the wood stove is burning bright inside the house. Her human keeps the door open so that this girl can enjoy the fresh air without getting wet.
Xena stares out at the grey sky with calm and peace. She survived things that one cannot even imagine during her time in Mexico. Thankfully, now the fur baby gets to watch the storm from the dry comfort of a warm living room. In fact, Xena decides that watching the rain while standing is just too much work for a senior. She eventually plops down on her hind legs to continue her dedicated weather watch.
Meanwhile, Xena’s human can be heard laughing in the background at the sheer dedication of this pup. A rescue dog with her history usually takes time to feel safe enough to just relax. But Xena seems to know she has finally found her forever spot. She watches every drop hit the ground like it is the most interesting thing in the world.
Xena’s human admits their heart explodes with joy every time they care for her “Xenie Bean.” One fan commented that the scene is “just too cute.” Another person mentioned that love is truly the only way to heal such a long, difficult past. Unsurprisingly, the post has already pulled in 1.6k likes from people who love a happy ending.
