If you only have time to watch one single, solitary TikTok video today, this is the one!

A woman named Adrina took to the social media platform and gave viewers a glimpse into her life with her dog Stormi.

The video starts by showing Stormi in a shelter on the day Adrina met her.

The text overlay reads,Β “One day in your 20s, you and your roommate will walk into a dog shelter with no intentions of coming home with a dog. It is very important that you take one home.”

The video then shows Stormi living life to the fullest!

The pooch enjoyed a pup cup, lazed around the house, and even got all dressed up in a costume!
