It seems like everyone from Missy Elliott to Bob Dylan to the Eurythmics wrote a song about the rain — and it seems that Jack the Golden Retriever puppy has listened to none of them. In a new video making its way around the web, Jack the puppy has never seen rain before and is completely confounded by the concept of water falling from the sky. Clearly the only thing to do is try and catch it — every single drop of it. The pup quickly gets the handle of it and seems to be enjoying himself in the rain. Seems like he has found the perfect activity to entertain himself while he updates his playlist. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3990454/golden-retriever-puppy-rain-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3990454/golden-retriever-puppy-rain-video/"},"headline":"Watch This Golden Retriever Puppy Try to Figure Out How Rain Works","datePublished":"2015-08-10T15:10:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:12.957Z","description":"The struggle is real","url":"https://time.com/3990454/golden-retriever-puppy-rain-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Viral Videos","puppies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3990454/golden-retriever-puppy-rain-video/","name":"Watch This Golden Retriever Puppy Try to Figure Out How Rain Works"}}]}] ```
