The Amazing Stuff

When this tiny Schnauzer’s human was gone for a few days, he was lost. Then, she finally returned after the short trip…and, judging by this little pooch’s reaction, he thought she was gone for good!

This puppy is overwhelmed by so many good feels!

No human has ever been this happy about anything.

That’s why dogs are known as man’s best friend. It doesn’t matter how long the absence is, they are always thrilled to be reunited with their humans!

For Dixie the dog, the worst part of every weekday is the morning. Hopping into the car with her family, she stressfully paces around when they arrive at their destination. Watch how heartbroken the poor pup becomes when she realizes her best friend has left for the school…AGAIN:

She just loves him so much…3 p.m. couldn’t come sooner!

There’s a reason dogs are commonly referred to as man’s best friend. They love humans, especially the ones who cuddle with them, feed them, and walk them. So when one of those people disappears for a long period of time, it’s a bit of a heartbreak.

But when they return home, boy is it glorious. Watch how these golden retrievers greet their mom when she comes back after being away on a long summer trip.

These big puppies couldn’t be any happier! I love how one went to get a toy as kind of a welcome back gift — so cute.

It’s a known fact that when dogs’ humans leave home all day, the pooches don’t know how to deal with it. You see, dogs don’t really have a sense of time, and once their families leave, they don’t know if they’ll ever see them again. It’s a heartbreaking part of every dog’s life, but it’s rectified immediately when the work day is over and their favorite humans come home for snuggles.

This giant dog wasn’t sure if he’d ever see his dad again, so when he returned home from work, the thrilled pup made sure he’d never leave again…until tomorrow.

I think that dog probably weighs more than his human, which makes this even cuter. If I ever get trapped under an adorable Saint Bernard, I now know to just let it happen. There’s no way I could move that big guy, and I don’t even think I’d want to.

Is there anything better than being reunited with a friend? These reunions are great for us, and also for the people who are lucky enough to witness them.

When this German shepherd saw his military buddy again, the pup’s reaction was priceless. His best friend had just returned home after months of active duty, so you can’t blame him for being excited!

He could hardly contain himself! These two have a lot of catching up to do, so I bet they’ll go for walks together every day now that they’re together again.

About a year ago, a man fell on some hard times, losing his job and income. Because of this, he was forced to give up his beloved dog, Reece, and place him in a shelter. Needless to say, that’s pretty heartbreaking.

Reece stayed in the shelter for nearly a year as the man put his life back together, until finally, he was able to house a dog once again. And Reece was there waiting.

Watch their amazing reunion.

It’s stories like this that make you feel better about life and can even lift your mood. And if we’re talking about being put in a better mood, Reece and his human look like their lives are going to be much improved! The SPCA staff was thrilled, too. Not only was Reece getting a home, but he was going back to his home with his human.

Reunions are pretty much the best, and these stories prove it:

Leaving your pets behind can always be heartbreaking, even if it’s just for a quick trip to the store. They look at you with those sad eyes and you start to wish businesses would loosen their animal policies.

When the Harworth family said goodbye to their sweet rottweiler mix, Zeus, in 2012, they knew it would be for much longer than a trip to the store. Ben and Melody were relocating with their two sons to South Korea and decided to leave Zeus with friends rather than make him endure the stress of traveling so far.

A few short months later, they received a devastating call: Zeus was dead. But three years later, after returning to the states, they received a second shock: Zeus was actually alive and found wandering near a home in Raleigh, NC.

Laura Williams convinced Zeus to get in her car where she brought him to a vet who scanned his microchip, confirming he was in fact the Harworth’s pup.

The family couldn’t wait to have their sweet boy back in their arms…but there were a few snags in getting him home.

Zeus was diagnosed with heartworms and though he’s receiving the proper treatment, it means he can’t fly the 2,000+ miles from North Carolina to the family’s new home in Washington state.

But thanks to a local news spot highlighting his situation, volunteers have organized a road trip to get him home, including free medical checkups donated by Banfield Pet Hospital at their locations along the way.

The volunteers are using the hashtag #GetZeusHome across social media to rally more kind strangers along the way to help the cutie finally find his way back to his family. His incredible story deserves a happy ending and thankfully, he’ll have one soon!

Traveling can be fun for those jetsetting off to new adventures, but for those left at home counting the hours ’til your return, it can be a brutal test of patience…

Especially if those hours feel like days like with our four-legged friends. Being gone for just a week can feel like years in their silly little heads, so it’s no wonder this cute, little pup was so excited to see his owner that he just couldn’t contain himself for one more minute.

Who wouldn’t love a greeting like that? It might even make me want to go on a few more trips just to see his happy face when I come home, but that might be a bit too much for such a tiny guy.
