Internet users have been reduced to tears by the heartwarming story of how a woman found a stray dog hiding on her patio, and after taking her in, it became increasingly clear that she was exactly where she was supposed to be.
TikTok user Brooklyn Henderson (@not_your_teachers_closet) took to social media on October 12 to share footage of the moment she spotted something outside her home at night. At the time, she could just see a pair of eyes in the dark so she took her phone out in case it was a rodent that jumped out. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case, and she was in fact greeted by a sweet dog who crept out from the dark and gradually got closer to Henderson.
The dog, named Birdy, seemed “pretty scared” at first but she settled into her new home eventually.
At first, Henderson didn’t intend to keep the “sweet angel baby,” and she was only supposed to be a temporary foster until Birdy found a loving owner. But after a while, it became clear that Birdy was part of the family, and she had already found her forever home.
Newsweek contacted @not_your_teachers_closet via Instagram for comment.

Henderson shared the story of her “foster fail” on TikTok to the delight of social media users, and it has gone viral with over 284,900 views and more than 40,900 likes at the time of writing. The clip shows the adorable black dog cuddling up to Henderson and even playing with her canine brother, Cash. The rescue dog has grown so comfortable in her new home that she even steals Cash’s favorite ball off him to play with.
After hiding outside as a stray, to now being a core member of the family, Birdy has certainly come a long way. During the clip, Henderson says “it’s safe to say she’s pretty happy” now that she’s found where she’s supposed to be, and perhaps this all happened for a reason after all.
How Did TikTokers React?
Birdy’s heartwarming adoption story has delighted internet users since it was shared, leading to more than 770 comments on the viral post so far. Many TikTokers praised Henderson for giving the pup a loving home, while others insisted that it was fate that Birdy found her.
One comment reads: “This made me cry. Thank you for keeping this baby and loving her.”
Another TikToker wrote: “Aww my heart is overflowing. She was led to the place she was meant to be. What a blessed life she’s gonna have.”
“The world is unfolding exactly as it should,” added one commenter.
While another TikTok user responded: “Thank you so much for being her forever home!”
