To rewrite this sentence and clarify its meaning, we need to ensure that the subject of the sentence is the one who began to rain, not the action of walking the dogs. Here's one possible revision:
"As I was walking the dogs in the park on Sunday afternoon, it began to rain hard."
In this revised sentence, the subject "I" is clearly indicated as the one who experiences the rain, while still maintaining the original meaning.
