We’ve seen innumerable videos of owners reuniting with their dogs over the years, and we can’t help but be amazed by them. This photograph depicts an emotional reconciliation between an owner and his Golden Retriever. This will inevitably hurt your heart and make you cry. Prepare your tissues, as this is extremely touching.

Buddy is a 13-year-old boy. His entire existence has been spent with his best friend Hannah Forker. After turning 21, Hannah joined the army and attended basic training in Oklahoma.

As she said goodbye to her canine companion and steed, Hannah’s heart ached. After three months of basic training, when Hannah returned home for Christmas, she was ecstatic to see Buddy again. Buddy’s joy and enthusiasm were palpable when he reconnected with Hannah.

Buddy has been with Hannah since he was a young puppy. Buddy is now quite elderly, suffering from arthritis and being nearly deaf, but he welcomes Hannah with open arms.

After three months apart, he places his head in Hannah’s lap and bursts into tears of delight upon seeing her. Hannah becomes emotional and begins to pet her close friend.

“As we opened the front door, he went outside to greet me and my family, but then he returned to me.” Foraker elucidated. Buddy exemplifies how devoted canines are, as is evident.

They never neglect their loved ones and show them “unconditional affection.” Because of this, we must take care of our closest acquaintances, as they are both friends and family.

The following video depicts Buddy and his owner’s emotional reunion.
