There’s no bond quite like the nod between man and dog. Always excited to see their owners, dogs show a level of unconditional love that continues to go unmatched.

Even more, when a soldier has been away for an extended period, there’s always tons of excitement when they come home. It’s a great time to let out tons of pent-up emotion.

We get a fantastic compilation of soldiers returning home to their favorite furry friends in this video. The amount of emotion coming from this is truly overwhelming and beautiful.

Being away on tour for an extended period has to be difficult for these soldiers. You can only imagine how happy they are to not only come home but to be greeted by their dogs.

This is a true testament to the loyalty and unconditional love dogs have to offer us. Even though their owners have been gone for a long time, they never forget their love.

It’s genuinely heartwarming to see these dogs jump out of cars and bolt from the front door to greet their loved ones. Being smothered with licks, wags, and jumps, it’s incredible to see.

Dogs are indeed man’s best friend. Never forgetting who they genuinely love and welcoming them when they come back after a long time, it’s clear why humans have such a solid connection to dogs.
