Dogs are amazing. The only species on earth that can communicate so efficiently with us, backed by so much science. After tens of thousands of years of coevolution with humans, they truly have earned the title of man's best friends.

@@READY_OR_NOT Actually, cats are the only animal that domesticated themselves. Also, their brains are more similar to human brains than a dogs brain is.

I grew up with dogs. But currently I have cats and when I’m gone for more that a day I get greeted by a very vocal cat. They can have bonds to their humans like dogs do.

[@Eric-W28]

You go that right

[@thumper7047]

I'm a 100% Disabled Vet. I live alone (which is why I love your videos). - My VA DR. suggested I get a dog (or any pet, but preferably a dog) for companionship. ... a friend heard that, and they knew someone moving and wanted to know if they knew anyone who would like a dog (Lab mix) ... I agreed to take it. She was home sick for a few days, but after a while, she adjusted to me and my way of living. My son came home to visit and those two got along great. A few weeks later they called me up and said their grandson was crying every day missing the dog and if I could please return her. I agreed and surrendered her to them, but I feel I am much worse shape now then I was before. She didn't want to leave me, and I didn't want her to go, but I can't be responsible for making a child cry either. So, I love dogs, but I don't want anything now as I might only have to say goodbye again. I'm fine by myself.

[@rodavich7778]

You could save a dogs life think how much that could mean. Like the little boy crying there is a sad dog somewhere waiting for you to save them. I hope you find each other.

[@gingermcgarvey7773]

Hard to place older dogs are waiting for someone like you. Obviously you have love to give and are great dog dad. Painful loss, but companionship and unconditional love are worth it. I hope you reconsider blessing a dog in need. I have sons that are veterans and pets have made a huge difference in their life. Thank you for sharing your story and service.🤗❤️🤍💙

[@aaronpatterson2369]

Dont give up and more importantly....DONT GIVE UP AGAIN.

[@robinmentzer7974]

Don't give up on a dog. They have so much love to give and just want to be loved in return. Please go rescue a dog and save a life. A dog will be a loyal and loving friend.

[@BaughbeSauce]

I agree that you should try again with another pet. My cat saved my life. No joke. I have a service dog now and she helps me a lot in public spaces and when I need to go out, but without Django I wouldn't even be here at all. I was going through the hardest time in my life and was very suicidal. I had no friends. My family didn't like me. My boyfriend who i lived with was cheating on me and started treating me like a ghost in our own home. I became anorexic and just started... slipping away. My cat, Django (aka Peep) was just a little kitten at that point (about 4 months old). His mom was killed when he was just 3 weeks old. I had to bottle feed him, keep him warm, and care for him. I'm the only mommy he's ever really known. If I left to go to the store or something for more than an hour or so, he'd get scared wondering where his mama went. I couldn't kill myself because he wouldn't understand. He would have lost a second mother and that wasn't fair. How could I be so selfish as to leave this poor kitten alone AGAIN? So I didn't live for me, I lived for him. The anorexia almost killed me anyways. As time passed and I moved back in with my parents to be on watch and recovery, Django continued to be my rock. Without weight on my chest, I'd stop breathing in my sleep. So he slept on my chest. He would meow at me and bug me to get out of bed when I wanted to just lie there (he still doesn't like when I stay in bed too long. Lol). If I started to get a panic attack or felt sick, he'd come sit with me and purr. He was God's gift to me. He got me through something that I could never have made it through without him. My relationship with my mom is completely turned around. My dad and I get along pretty well now, too. To this day, Django will looks after me and others in our household. He even alerted us to my current boyfriend's pneumonia. He's the reason I pestered him to go to the hospital. He saved him, too. My service dog, Khaleesi, was also a huge gift from God and she has given me such an independence I've never had. But that's a different story. We never know what challenges the future holds for us. It's best to go into them with a friend than try to be strong alone. Even if that friend is only with us for a little while.

[@kenlanders9894]

This is making me cry I just lost my dog two weeks ago I miss her so much 💔 so many people don't understand just how much they mean to us I hope you many more great years with your baby

[@randalldavidson7474]

I know that pain and my heart breaks for you...

[@jennm3321]

I'm I sorry for your loss.

[@michaelschemlab]

So sorry for your loss. Losing pets is just as hard as losing a loved one

[@nopenottalib4366]

So sorry for your loss. My wife and I have lost many fur babies over the years, and non-pet owners really don't understand that the grief of losing a beloved pet is just as real and just as raw as losing a human loved one. Something that has really, really helped us with making it just a tiny bit less painful is to hire someone to come to the house to put our critters to sleep when the time comes. Somehow, letting our precious fur babies pass among all the people they know AND in a place they've known and grown comfortable in makes it a little bit easier. So much easier than having to take them to a strange place and have their last moments be in a sterile and 'harsh' environment filled with so many strange sounds and smells.

[@ThaCrustyOne]

Condolences for your loss.. ❤️❤️❤️

[@rednecklottery8418]

I feel like a rock star everyday I get home. When it’s been that long it takes them to smell you before they remember

[@RJSAMCRO]

Our Fur Babies don't care about how rich or poor we are, whether we have a fancy mansion or run down apartment, they don't care about expensive things or cheap things, they love us unconditionally and no matter what circumstances life throws at us, our dogs will be there through the good the bad and happy and sad.

[@Eric-W28]

Exactly and so much more..

[@scottyrobinson5708]

Anybody else like the video before it got started?! New Zealand Family never ever disappoint you guys bring me so much joy and happiness love you 4!💯🤩❤️❤️❤️

[@CagirlArmywife]

Lost one of our beagles: Jimmie J back in July. It is hard to loose a fur baby. You are a great family. Your caring for us Americans means so much to me especially when it comes to our military and their love ones. Thank you so much.

We have 2 chihuahua/rat terrier mixes and they are very affectionate and always know when to cheer me up. I love the channel and the fact you do things as a family warms the heart and fills a void! 👍 I cried happy tears all through the video and the music added to the experience!😭 Thank you!

[@itsahellofaname]

My last dog will likely be my last dog. She looked so much like your dog, just a tiny bit bigger and darker. She was absolutely the most intelligent, well-behaved, affectionate, and easy-to-train dog I ever had. I don't have room in this comment section for the stories I could tell. I swear she was half human...man, I loved that girl.

[@territ.2741]

These always get me in the feels. I couldn't imagine my life without my dogs. They offer so much unconditional love and cuddles. I have 2 dachshunds, Elle (3 next week) and Beckett (9 months). Thinking of getting one more once we move into our new house.

[@joehuestis652]

I've had many, many dogs but the one I have now is a Patterdale terrier named "Lucy", she's a rescue from St Croix. My favorite greet from a dog is the "submissive grin" where they're so excited they grin big, showing their teeth......it's the most adorable behavior.

[@chriscowan7883]

I have always had so much respect for our military men and women. Their homecoming always gets me, but this one with the dogs is very special. They don't understand, they just know their person has been gone and they are so happy to see them! I also appreciate your family's respect for our country!

[@Mike-ze2pg]

I was tearing up from the first clip. We don't deserve dogs, they are so loving and accept us for who we are. They are our guardian angels.

[@tammys8547]

Our dog, “Cloud”, is a labski (yellow lab-husky) is the BEST! He gets so excited to see us when we come home ❤️

[@BryanH63]

Oh yer killing e! I am a HUGE animal lover... I financially support our local rescue. I am very empathetic to dogs. They are truly Angels on earth who's only purpose is to give unconditional love. You made me cry! Thank you!

[@sarahdixon1943]

Thank goodness I'm alone watching this, I can feel that silly smile on my face from these puppers ☺️ 🙂 😊 Dogs love without reservation. In most ways the love a dog feels for his owner is the purest form of love there is. Your dog loves you simply because you exist in his life and love him ❤️

[@shawnlawrence4066]

I am a proud 100% disabled U.S. Army veteran. I love what you and your lovely family do for us veterans. I always get such an emotional lift out of your videos. My dog didn't recognize me until she sniffed me. After that I was bruised from all the huggins.

[@fawnjenkins7266]

So cute! Love your dog story and your reactions to all those cute reunions with their loved ones. 😍

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

DOGS = UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Your dog is very sweet. My dog was half black lab and half Norwegian Elkhound. My dad's dog, a Cocker/German Shepherd/Collie mixture and would ride with him and guarded the truck when he went in for coffee. He would turn into a fiery beast if someone came near it. Dad taught him to wave, which he later regretted because he locked the doors on my dad at least twice and since he left his keys in the car, he had to call home to get back in. My dad never parked the truck in the sun and always rolled the windows down a little.

[@lesliedaubert1411]

Certainly made me cry happy tears. I have a very loving kitty who runs to the door when I come home.

[@wendyhodges7172]

I have 4 dogs. A pit bull named Kaci, a chihuahua named Kooper, another chihuahua named Keelo and a black lab mix named Little Bit. They are like my kids I love them all so much. They keep me so entertained.

[@DGMansell]

They say in general dogs are the only animal that are capable of loving us more than their own selves! We have a 2 yr old German Shepard named Maverick, if my husband or I go somewhere he lays by the door until whoever left comes home, only leaving his post to check on the other one occasionally lol 😂 He loves the dog park & has so many fans (the dogs & people) he takes up for the smaller dos & breaks up fights no matter how the big the other dog is, I think it’s in GS nature. When we leave we just whistle or call him once & start walking for the gate & he comes running.Other people have to call & call their dog or chase them down so they think he’s so well behaved & really it’s about us not getting out of his eye sight! 😊 He’s sweet & gentle with me & rougher with my husband hehe & we absolutely adore him & spoil him rotten! ❤ oh & hi from Texas! I ❤ y’all !

[@anthonyarms1256]

The compilations of soldiers surprising their family always hit me in the feelers

[@momminator98]

We love our little pups, Apollo (Maltese) and Caramel (papillon -italian greyhound). We get that greeting every time we walk in the door as well!

[@danastearns7939]

I have seen your reactions to soldiers coming home. You guys are amazing. I wish NZ wasn't so far away! Love your dog - I love dogs too. They love their humans so much!

I've tried watching this four times already because my wifi keeps going out due to hurricane Ian. Finally got to finish it. I love these videos so much!!

[@yournewzealandfamily]

Stay safe!

[@ScreamingYellowMach]

This hits me hard. I lost my 8 year old dachshund Buckee to renal failure in September 2018. He got me through some of the toughest times of my life. Losing him destroyed me, and being single and living alone, he was like a child to me. It was the worst grief I've ever felt.

[@Zankaroo]

I have a 1/4 Malamute, 1/4 Husky, 1/2 mutt but its pretty obvious there is some Australian Sheppard in her. Her name is Freya and she is 13 years old. She used to greet us all the time with the full body wiggle and howling because we didn't take her with us. She always has the hopeful/saddest look when she watches us leave without her.

[@christiecathey2833]

Dogs are such amazing creatures and we are so lucky that they let us live with them.

[@babyfry4775]

So cute. I was loving watching your pup watch the video too. Yeah you can be gone 5 minutes and they are so excited your back. Love puppers!!!🥰

[@kaitlanlouviere9963]

I have a beagle, so that last one got me! Dogs are amazing! We are so lucky to have them!

[@Celticpath]

I have a 6 year old female Chihuameranian (part Chihuahua, part Pomeranian) named Nikki Sixx (named after my favorite member of the band Mötley Crüe). She's my furry best friend, and she's gotten me through so much in 6 years. Especially since March of 2021, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer (which I thankfully beat October 19th last year). And then I beat Gynocological Cancer on September 6th, of this year. She's like my emotional support animal. I don't know what I'd do without her. 😊

[@archiegibson4048]

Love these videos, I had a German Shepherd who was the greatest. She would be there for myself and my mum whilst my dad served in the British navy, as a engineer for 16 years. She helped my mum to look me when I was a baby, when ever my dad was away for six months at a time.

[@daveyhouston]

Loving a dog is wonderful they are free from any predjudice

[@anniebell1863]

That was so cool how the dog got passed around for cuddles. I have a white Shepherd Lab mix and her name is Mudflap. She was a stray when I got her. She goes everywhere with me, and if she can’t go, I don’t go. I don’t even eat in restaurants anymore because I prefer to eat with my pupper. She really is special and really smart

[@Scott_Burton]

Just starting the video, from the title I expect to be crying long before the end. It wasn't quite as many tears as I anticipated, but yes, there were tears. I was never separated from dogs due to service, there was a time I didn't have any dogs. A long time ago, I had a dog that got the bad habit of killing our chickens, but I'd had her for a few years, since she was a newborn pup. I had to re-home her, and a friend of mine took her in. She might not see me for months or last time it was over two years. By then she was old, and struggling to even make her way around the house, but when I came to visit she bolted to me as soon as she heard my voice, moving almost as fast as ever. Had I not expected it and knelt down to meet her, she probably would have knocked my legs out from under me (she weighted about 30 kg, so she wasn't exactly tiny)

[@bradwest4821]

I wish this family lived next door to me. Such nice people

[@barbaracurtin4350]

So emotional! I have two pups. Pip and Squeek. 10 yr old deer face Chihuahuas with one quarter Pomeranian. They are my children. Love your reactions!

[@nannerz1994]

I love when the dog is like "STRANGER DANGER!" for a second and then they get so excited that their human just wants to hug them and they can't stop wiggling :3 I get a bit of this when I go back to my parents house once a year for Christmas.

[@GearedTowardGear1]

After learning his dog was dying, a 6 year old boy shared his philosophy about why dogs live shorter lives than humans: “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life - like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The Six-year-old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay for as long as we do.”

[@alaskanrobert5204]

I found it so sweet there was a minpin. Mines almost 12yo. She knows who's family and gets really excited if it's been a while a family members been away.

[@WyattRyeSway]

We have three house dogs, Callie, Rigsby and Joonie. We have two coon hunting dogs (outside in a pen but they have a nice enclosure), Magnum and Maverick. Callie is an American mutt. Rigsby is a golden-doodle and Joonie is a Berna-doodle. We also have a ginger cat that picks on the dogs. Every day when my dad gets back in, they pounce on him. The cat sleeps in my bedroom I share with 3 brothers and usually in my bed. The dogs sleep with my parents. We love dogs in my family. All of our pets are rescue animals.

[@nopenottalib4366]

My wife and I share our home with 4 fur babies. One dog and three cats. Our dog's name is B'Elanna (named after the Star Trek character) and she's a Jack Russell / Boxer mix. She's a little bigger than a Jack Russell, but a little smaller than a Boxer. She's got all the physical characteristics of the Boxer, only smaller. She's got some of the energy of a Jack Russell, along with the white around her mouth and a little tuft of white hair on top of her head. Her nickname is "Pup" or "Nana." (Pronounced "nah-nah".) We also have our three cats, all boys. Their names are Leonardo (Leo for short); nicknamed "Porkchop" because he a fatso - we also call him "Ding-Dong" sometimes because he's a ding-dong. Then we've got Echo, nicknamed "Boob" because he's a boob. Lastly we have Charlie Brown (Charles, for short) and his nickname is "Derp" because he's literally a derp. Love all of them immensely and wouldn't trade any of them for any amount of money.

[@loriblevins9786]

I can never watch these homecoming videos without crying. We have a golden retriever and he is almost 10. His name is Koda, and Koda Bear when he gets into trouble. LOL I hope you'll watch a few more of these, there are some with cats as well. Give Kilo a hug from us here in Ohio. 🐾

[@raybaker8726]

Brought tears to this old mans eyes. Had a black lab named Heidi. She went with me on every bird hunt. During Elk season she had to stay home. I got this same kind of greeting each time I returned home. Her and I were best friends. After her passing I couldnt bring myself to getting another dog. Wife said she was a different dog when I left. She seen me pack guns and wasnt going. Enter son and his now 5 year old Chocolate lab. I swear he is my black labs reincarnation. He acts the same way. He sees shotguns being packed, he is at the door wanting to go. When he doesnt go he slips into a state of depression until we come back

[@HemlockRidge]

A dog is the only thing in the world that loves you more than itself. I've had dogs all of my life. Since I've been an adult, all of them have been rescues. Right now my besty is a 7 year old Yellow Labrador, Mason. I have a cat too, K.T. is 16 years old and getting a bit senile. Yes, they get along fine.

[@Tiffany-ne9fr]

Every darn time I see a video of a dog/child reunion after a deployment I can't help but cry. God Bless Our Military 🪖 and God Bless America 🇺🇸

[@chipmunkcorner248]

These videos always make me cry. I can remember this one time my family we were on a marine corps base in California and when we went to my grandmas farm in NY, I remember the dog was so happy to see us that he pulled me to the ground 😆 - he was such a good dog tho. He was blind and deaf so he really relies our scent. But he was so happy.

[@BlueRidgeCritter]

I can’t imagine life without dogs. I’ve had them all my life. Lost some along the way, of course, which is always horrible. But never once felt the urge not to keep the love going with new ones. I have 3 currently - 2 Yorkies (Murphy and Pepper), and a Shi Tzu (Nala), all are 4-6 now. Nala is my girl; when I came home from a week in the hospital this summer from back surgery, she literally cried. I had never heard her do that before. The others were beside themselves with excitement too, but Nala was the most overjoyed. Our family has gone through a split over the past couple of years, but the dogs have been absolutely by my side through it all. If it hadn’t been for them, I’d have come unglued. I think sometimes that God talks to me through them, it’s uncanny how connected they are to my feelings and thoughts.

[@debhurley912]

It's great to watch tge reaction of dogs they have just so much love for us humans. I have 2 dogs one is a Bichon his name is Brody and the other is miniature schnauzer and his name is Toby and they were literally my life savers. I lost my mom in 2012 than in Oct 2020 we lost my dad. He was in a nursing home and by the date you can see it was during Covid and we had been able to see him since the end of Feb 2020. Even though we all called him everyday he didn't understand my siblings or I hadn't been to see him due to he had dementia he didn't remember from one day to the next. I lived only a mile from the nursing home which made it the worse. At 9:30 on Tue Oct 20th my oldest sister called and said to go to the nursing home dad didn't have long. He was in a place where he didn't respond to me nit because of Covid but to a series of small strokes he had during the day but the staff hadn't realized. He passed away at 11:43 just 2 hours after the staff calling. I felt so guilty about not seeing him all that time I was really in a bad spot but my 2 fur babies got me through. Thank you for sharing all your family with us. God bless!

[@anneo3754]

Stripe is a Cairn Terrier. He greets me enthusiastically whether I've been gone for 5 hours or 5 seconds. He is 12 ½ years old now and still a puppy. 🐾🐾

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

I grew up with dogs, as my dad loved cats, but my mom was allergic to cats. When they divorced, I was 7, my sister was 9, my brother was 10. My mom had dogs all her life, and my dad went back to cats after the divorce. My sister was a dog family until this past year, and my brother always had cats. I have always had cats as an adult..along with gerbils, fish/eels at various times...but always cats. Yes, dogs show excitement and joy in very obvious, grande ways, all movement, noise, and sloppy licks, jumping on you, and barks. Agreed..it is great. HOWEVER, cats are absolutely affectionate and express missing us, too. They just do it in a less noisy and 'look at me' way. They will rub on you with their cheeks, closing their eyes in pleasure, purr, tap at your shoulder or knee with a sheathed-claw paw, ever so gently to get your attention. They will nuzzle into my armpit with their noses, surrounding themselves with my scent. If that is not showing you how much they like you, I don't know what is! Cats will also do what I call 'pony nuzzles'. A cat's nose feels like a horse's nose...all velvety and soft. One of my current cats, Raspy, aka King Rasputin, wakes me before dawn every morning by pony nuzzling my nose until I respond. A cold, wet, velvety little nose, just bonking and nuzzling your nose. Very intimate feeling, actually, of love and looking out for each other. If I don't get up, he keeps doing it, every minute or so, until I get up, go to the bathroom, then give wet food to him and Smudge, aka Princess Smudge, his 'sister'. Btw, they always have dry food available, so he isn't starving! When I've been gone for several hours and get home, they both follow me from room to room, and settle down in whatever room I do. They stick close, like they miss my vibe and just want to be around me. They either sleep, bathe, or want to play..but they are in the room I'm in for the rest of the evening, once I'm home. When a cat trusts you, they will either take a bath or sleep near or on you. The whole eye kissing thing is so obvious how they feel. Part of the eye kissing with cats, is that when you do it to them, it tells them you trust them enough to close your eyes around them, and they will not harm me...and that is what it tells humans when cats do it to us. They meow for humans, too. I've seen cats excited to see someone they haven't seen in awhile, do the running back and forth things, meowing loudly, looking at the person...that is the same as a dog doing it, you know. Just more reserved, I suppose LOL. They get vocal when excited to see you, that is for sure! Do a video of watching cats welcoming long gone people! kzbin.info/www/bejne/boOXiWmgbNmjjaM

[@kristinekuehn6528]

I can honestly say one of the best coming home videos i have ever seen, was actually a cat. Her dad had been gone 9 months i believe. They lived in an apartment. And crazy as this sounds, that cat knew when her dad was walking up the stairs. She began meowing and pacing. When she heard the keys in the door, she started jumping on the door. Dad barely opened the door, she jumped right in his arms, nuzzling his face, licking him. He almost started crying. Mom was crying & laughing. He held that cat like a baby and that cat held onto him like she was never letting go.

People really underestimate cats. My cat Django goes nuts if I'm gone overnight. Lol.

I have 2 dogs in my house. An English Mastiff named Daisy, and a Pit Bull named Roscoe.

We (My wife and I) have two Great Danes. They are brother, named Riley and sister name Aoife (pronounced EE-Fah). When we leave even on the shortest of errands the act like we've been gone for days. They each run t get a toy then try to get us to play with them. t normally take about 10 minutes before they calm down.

Military Reunions always get to me, whether it be friends and family or with pets!! I love dogs, but am more of a cat person. I was bit at a young age (5 years old) by a bit of a bigger dog so have always been leary of them, no matter what size, but have gotten a better with it. I'm more of a cat person and have one that does greet me when I come home. I live in an apartment, and to me, dogs need an actual house to live in with a yard to go and run and play, which apartments don't have. Thank you for so much interest with our military as well. They deserve so much respect that they don't always seem to get. I've lived in two areas with Air Force bases (one being the area I'm at now) and I've had an uncle and cousin retire from the USAF. But do have quite a few friends that have served in the various branches.

I had a Jack Russell terrier named Poochie and she went NUTS every time I came home. I really miss her. Dogs make the world a better place.

My mom has a purebred Cocker Spaniel named Peanut! Whenever I visit my mom, she is always so excited to see me. She was originally bred to be a show dog, so when she's excited or wants something she will actually sit or lay down! so silly! (My mom lives one state over from me, so I barely ever get to see her, so Peanut gets EXTRA excited when she sees me!)

My brother served in the US Army in a Stryker unit in Iraq. So our sister named her dachshund puppy, Stryker in honor of his service. ❤️

Them videos makes me cry to see them coming home to there family and there pets.

When my husband came home from Iraq I had to wait my turn so our Labrador Retriever could say welcome home first. He didn’t eat for 3 days when he first left and every time he was able to call me our dog would come running when he heard his voice over the phone. There is just nothing like the love of a dog.

Once a dog 🐕 bonds with u it can remember your scent FOREVER:)

[@donald1379]

Dogs are the best! I have 1 dog named Bo. He's a 10 year old Jack a Bea. ( jack Russell Beagle). I got him and his sister Izzie at 6 weeks old. I lost Izzie to cancer last December. So, needless to say Bo is spoiled rotten. I so enjoy watching your videos. I've been a loyal fan for about a year . And I never miss one. I also enjoy watching Atlantas kitchen. Keep cooking little lady, you're going places. I cant wait to see what you cook from my home state of NC. Keep'em coming. Love to all and especially to Kielo.

We have a pit bull named Audrey and an Anatolian Shepherd named Ember. I love your channel and have been trying to talk my husband into moving to NZ. Love, your small town Texas girl, DeAnna

This is why I love animals.

[@pinkpanther2262]

Awe, the beagle at the end was precious. I have 3 American Staffordshire Terriers. it's a handful sometimes but so worth it. If I ever left them for vacation I'd probably be missing them the entire time. Love Milo and watching him get treats in the mail. He's such a great boy. 💜🐕🐾

[@missye7070]

I have a 16 year old Dachshund named Jasper. You guys are awesome! 💜💜

[@rcb4ever1]

Awwwww your furbaby is adorable💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@MikeJG6453]

8 year old purebred Yallow Lab named Maya. Couldn't imagine not having her in my life!

[@pattiharvey1787]

I was grinning from ear to ear ❤️👍

[@karenmorrisette5027]

My boy Tobe (golden shepherd) greets me like that if I just take the trash out. Wish YT would let us post pics in the comments I'd show you my boy. He just turned 11yrs last mo.

[@EdmundKempersDartboard]

I like these better than the people ones. The people ones make me cry. These just make me smile.

[@pegl6576]

I have a border collie named Rose. I was in the hospital for a couple of days and when I got home you would have thought I had been missing forever. Now she doesn't want me out of her sight.

[@howardibleinc.7317]

When I first got home from the Army I had to sleep on the living room couch do to my injuries, but I was not alone, our five family dogs and two cats stayed with me and barely left my side for the first two weeks.

[@allanrose2964]

My dogs greet me at the door even if I am coming back from grocery shopping or the mail box! My boys won't miss a ride in the car anywhere! My cat does too. They all get along very well.

[@nakitabutcher6691]

Y'all are awesome! ❤️ Y'all so much!!!

[@rebekahchappel1633]

Our dogs are absolutely ridiculous when we return home and we’re working on learning manners. Valentine is a Golden Retriever, Aussie, and Corgi mix. Elliott is a Border Collie, Black Lab mix.

[@chevy266nova]

At 8:56 that is what my little 13 inch Beagle ( Peabody ) does every time I come back from anywhere.
