This Dog’s Emotional Reaction to Seeing His Military Dad Again Is Pure Love
When I come home to my dogs, they’re excited to see me even if I’ve only been gone a few minutes. Being greeted by my dogs is the highlight of every day, and the non-stop tail wagging, kisses, and squeals of excitement warm my heart no matter how hard my day has been. Luckily, I rarely have to be away from my pups for more than a day or two, but the reunion is even sweeter when I have had to be gone longer. Dogs miss their humans while they’re gone, and there’s no better proof of that than their reactions when they finally reunite with us.

Just watch how this dog takes over a heartfelt reunion between a couple who have been apart due to one of them being in military service. Even as they try to hug and say hello, their little dog is wiggling into the middle of the action and demanding dad’s attention. Clearly, it’s not just the humans that missed each other!
Reuniting After Going Missing—Dogs Coming Home
MetDaan Animals posts uplifting videos of dogs and their humans on TikTok, and they hit us all right in the feels with this one. After the beautiful reunion between partners, we get to see two dogs reuniting with their owners after going missing. Even extremely responsible dog owners can experience the horrific reality of a dog going missing—gates and doors get left open, dog walkers make mistakes, and strange accidents are never entirely preventable.

Thankfully for these two dogs and their owners, getting lost wasn’t the end! They were found and reunited with their humans in moments they’re sure to never forget, but not all lost dog cases end happily. Making sure your dog is always wearing tags when they are outside and updating their microchip information to ensure you can be contacted if they are ever found as a stray can help you avoid tragedy and protect your dog if they ever find themself outside and alone.
Next time you come home from work or vacation, be sure to give your dog some extra attention when they greet you—they missed you just as much as you missed them!
