Once a dog realizes that they’re truly home for good and in a safe space, it’s pretty obvious.

They relax, let their guards down, and decide to have some fun!

A woman named Megan posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers how her new rescue dog reacted when he had that realization.

The video showed the pooch in a snowy backyard with Megan’s two sons.

The dog played around and ran back and forth in the snow.

The video’s text overlay reads, “That feeling when you realize you are never going back to the shelter and your forever home has a yard and two boys to play with forever.”

Take a look at the video.
