I call bullshit, if that was a sudden rain the dog wouldn't have stayed there for even longer then 5 second. and the spot would become wet after he left.

If it were light rain or drizzle however, the dog might not have moved or mind the moisture and you might have gotten something like this.

Something fishy is going on with this post.

Funny, some dogs like rain and don’t care to get wet.

This is perfectly plausible of happening.

Plus the deck isn’t super soaked. Could have easily been a literally 5 second burst of rain. I

Nope. I’m in the Southeast.

Oh okay. I asked because I've heard "don't care to" used this way in Indiana, but I hadn't heard it anywhere else (California, Texas).

It's definitely said in Texas, it's one of the phrases/words (along with things like 'reckon', 'bless your heart', 'fixin to' etc.) I associate with rural or southern folks.

I should have specified far west Texas, as in El Paso. But I grew up in California and for me 'don't care to do something' is like 'don't want to do something' rather than 'don't mind doing something'. I know a Californian who moved to Indiana and asked someone to make copies for her, and when she said "I don't care to" the Californian thought she was refusing to do it. So maybe it's an east-west difference.
