I didn't cry--but that was very very very sweet...I almost wish the video was longer. I've never heard a dog cry like that over their master being gone for so longer.

Very sweet!

Aww, that was adorable.

Dog lover that I am ... I had to break out a tissue for that one.

Thanks for sharing.

That was AWESOME!

Yes I did cry hahaha....I am sucker for these things. Being a Dog lover and owner, I know how that feels.

When my brother ( A Marine ) came home from Iraq this past April, we had 3 dogs at the time and his dog Bandit a Siberian Husky....just went nuts.

It was so amazing to watch and just like in the video the dog keeps jumping into the soliders lap that is what our dogs did as well. It is so wonderful to watch.

Thanks for sharing that.

It's like the scene when Jem comes home (from WW1) and Dog Monday greets him at the station from "Rilla of Ingleside" (last book in the Anne of Green Gables series).

I'm not sure that non-Canadians will get the reference, but Dog Monday lived at the train station from the day Jem left to fight until the day he returned. Dog Monday greeted every single train that comes into the station during the 4 1/2 years Jem was away, always looking for his "person".

Gracie was on the Today show on the weekend. Too cute. Have you seen this one? I swear that dog is hugging him:

DH saw this the other day and then sent me the link. He said that he teared up. I'm surprised that I didn't!

I'm a hormonal mess right now. But I did think that it was incredibly sweet and I loved how the dog jumped right into his lap at the end!

That was just so sweet.

Ilivetogo I really DO want to live there! I circulate my paper clips at work so they all get used or I feel like they'd be sad if they didn't get a "turn".
