New York, New York - This could have been the beginning of an amazing meet-cute! A woman shared an adorable TikTok of a man protecting his baby dog from the rain with an umbrella in New York and asked for a date. TikTok is obsessed, even though romance didn't pan out.

Danielle, a young New Yorker, was sitting at a coffee shop in the West Village district when she spotted a man with his golden retriever puppy.

The duo was strolling through the rain-soaked streets of the Big Apple. What made them special was that the dog's human was trying to keep raindrops from falling on his puppy's head by holding an umbrella over him.

The sweetness of the scene blew Danielle away.
