I couldn’t stop watching this dog’s sweet reaction.

The bond between a dog and their favorite human is always incredible.

When their human goes on vacation, a dog will wait and wait for them to come back. Even though they probably like spending time with the person pet-sitting them, it’s nothing like the bond with their owner.

A dog is with you through thick and thin, no matter what.

They long to spend every second of every day with you. So when you have to be apart, it can be hard on the dog.

And that was exactly the case for one owner and his German Shepherd.

Which, by the way, is known to be one of the most loyal dog breeds out there.

Anything German Shepherd tells us that, “When you ask people which dog breed is the most loyal, they probably include German Shepherds on their list.”

When this particular German Shepherd had to be away from her owner for a few months, it must have been hard.

I say that not only because I know how much these dogs love their owners, but because of the reaction that the dog had when her owner did finally show up.

She is already excited as a woman she knows opens up the door after apparently being gone for a little while.

She greets her with lots of tail wagging and plenty of wiggles. Her owner is standing just around the corner and it’s not until he calls out her name that she realizes that he’s there.

But the second that she does, she lets out a bark of relief and rushes over to greet him.

She is unable to control her excitement as she spins around in circles and cries and jumps and licks.

This continues for over a minute and you start to think that she may never get enough of this moment.

It’s as if she thinks that if she stops rubbing and licking him then he’ll disappear again — like she’ll wake up and it will all just be a dream.

Having a dog is so much more than just having a friend to do stuff with.

It’s actually good for your health, too.

According to the American Kennel Club, “The bond between humans and dogs reduces stress, which is a major cause of cardiovascular problems.”

So be sure to give your pup and a big hug and thank them for helping make you your healthiest self! Be sure to give them an extra treat, too.
