Raindog

A raindog is a colloquial term, often used in maritime or coastal communities, to describe a person or animal (typically a dog) who seems to revel in, or is unfazed by, rainy weather. The term often implies a resilience or even a fondness for conditions that most others would find unpleasant. The etymology of the word is straightforward, combining "rain" and "dog," suggesting a dog-like creature adapted to, or enjoying, rain. While it doesn't have a strict scientific definition, it's understood through its common usage and the imagery it evokes. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe someone who is stubbornly persistent or unfazed by setbacks, similar to how a dog might continue its activities regardless of the weather.
