Adorable dog has 'instant regret' after pleading owner to take him on a walk in the Welsh rain

An adorable dog learnt his lesson the hard way after pleading his owner to take him on a walk in the torrential Welsh rain. Alfred the Boston Terrier was desperate to get out and about for a run around, but was left regretting his decision after being confronted with the grim reality of the weather in Wales.

Alfred's owner Sarah Hopkins filmed his hilarious reaction before, during and after being taken out on his expedition. Since uploading the clip to TikTok, it has been viewed over 5.8 million times and received nearly one million likes. Keep up to date with the latest viral clips from across TikTok by clicking here.

In the viral video, Alfred sits in the front of the car looking longingly at Sarah and whining, as he looks to convince her to take him out for a walk despite the rain pouring down outside. Reluctant to take him out, Sarah asks him: "What? But it's raining. You okay to get wet? You're going to get wet, mind, and it's really rainy. It's absolutely hammering it down, it's cold."

Despite being warned, Alfred keeps up his protests and is eventually taken out on a walk, with the wind battering the pair as they make their way through marshy puddles. The clip then cuts back to the car, with Alfred once again sat on the passenger seat, only this time he's wet through and not making a sound.

Looking very sorry for himself, he begins to shiver when Sarah asks him: "Do you want to go back out?". She adds: "Well, that's a change of tune isn't it? Was it too cold for you? Do want to go home? Is that what you want to do?"

Despite getting soaked, however, Alfred has won a huge number of fans on TikTok with his hilarious reactions, with viewers left in stitches at his immediate change of heart. While others were laughing, however, many dog lovers in the comments were also feeling bad for the cute Boston Terrier.

"So cute, so funny, bless him," said one, while another added: "Oh bless his heart, that's so cute." Another viewer wrote: "He's learning the hard way lol," while a fourth added: "Poor little thing, I feel bad."

"He goes, 'I immediately regret this decision'," said one: "Also he's so adorable I just want to snuggle him." Another added: "That is instant regret lol".

Others, meanwhile, were unsurprised by the less than favourable weather conditions. "Wet and windy? In Wales?," asked one. "Surely not!".
