Cocker Spaniel puppy can't help being surprised after seeing rain for the very first time

Greater Manchester is currently subject to a weather warning ahead of the weekend but one Cocker Spaniel puppy did not know what to make of the rain.

The adorable moment they got caught in a shower while outside for the very first time was captured on camera by their owner.

Eight-week-old Cocker Spaniel Riley had only been with his new family for less than a week when he experienced his first sample of the wet weather.

Cocker Spaniels are currently doing well in the search for UK's favourite dog breed. If you would like them to take the crown, you can vote here.

The video sees Riley not knowing what to do as the droplets fall around him, with a voiceover noting what the pup could be ‘thinking’ at the time, reports Mirror Online.

It says: “What is this? Is it a game? Run! Hang on I’m getting wet!”

Meanwhile, the spooked puppy is jumping around the patio attempting to dodge the raindrops that keep falling on him.

The video has since been seen over 155,000 times, earning the family’s new arrival more than 2,000 followers in the space of three days.
