Question: Do you feel like crying today? Not sure about you, but dog-human reunions always make me tear up (but in the best way possible). And this one was no different.

Some background: There once was a man who lives in Guarulhos, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Sadly, this man had to leave his dog with a friend of his while he was away—for a whole 10 days.

If you have a dog, you know that 10 days is basically a lifetime to be away from your pup. What are they doing right now? Do they know that I’m coming back? Do they know how much I want to scratch their belly right now? Or snuggle on the couch while binging out on Netflix? All of these thoughts and more probably go through your head each day you’re not around your dog.

I think the worst thing that goes through my head when I have to leave my dog is hoping he knows that I’m going to be coming back for him. The anxiety a human can feel doing that—even knowing that the dog is going to be in good hands—can be excruciating.

It always makes me feel better if I talk to the friend, family member, or kennel watching the dog and make sure they know everything they need to about feeding routines, how to calm them in the case of a thunderstorm, and making sure I bring along their favorite toys (in case you need some tips).

Though leaving a pet for a few days stinks, we can’t deny it: There’s a great part about it—and that’s getting to reunite with your best companion. It really makes it all worth it.

After this long week and a half, the Brazil man finally got to see his dog again. The friend who watched the dog decided to bring the pooch along when it was time to pick him up from the airport.

And the dog’s reaction when he sees—no just hears—his owner is truly heartwarming.

We see the dog sitting in the passenger seat waiting patiently. Knowing dogs and how instinctual they are, he probably knew he was going to be reunited with his owner this day. He looks slightly unsure, but ready to pounce if needed.

Confirmed: He was ready for said pouncing. When his owner calls out the dog’s name, he immediately darts right through the open window and directly towards his owner. He’s whining and pacing and jumping like a lunatic, and it’s so precious we could just die. Yup, I think we’re dead.

If you love these types of moments, it’s truly a video to see. Two whole minutes of just full-on dog-owner love. Check it out below.

What do you think of this adorable moment? Have you ever had to leave a dog or any pet for 10 days or longer? How did you deal with that? Did reuniting with him make it all worth it? If you have any pictures or videos of you reuniting with your furry friend after a long time away, we’d love to see it!
