A pet owner captured the most heartwarming video of a rescue dog FaceTiming her mother. Mitchy McGhan shared the clip of the dog named Momo looking at the phone screen where her birth mom, Midori, sat.
The mom was left behind in South Korea in unfortunate circumstances while Momo was rescued and eventually adopted from Samson's Sanctuary Rescue in Los Angeles. Midori had been separated from her puppies.

"Midori was part of a rescue mission of over 75 dogs," Mitchy told Newsweek. "She and the other dogs were born into a situation where the owner didn't spay or neuter any of them. For most of Midori's life up until that point she had lived on a chain and when she was eventually rescued she was pregnant."
Along with other dogs, Midori was rescued by a local shelter when their owner became terminally ill. On that day, Mitchy says the dog was "quite literally keeping her head above water to stay alive."
"It had been raining and the house was completely flooded," she continued. "Midori was in a pool of rain water and was nearly drowning whilst pregnant and on a chain still. All the other dogs were also on chains. She was saved. If they hadn't come that day, she probably would have died."
After being transferred to a shelter, she gave birth to her puppies, all of whom were adopted while she remained behind.

"She was heartbroken and completely shut down," Mitchy remembered. "She didn't eat for three days after and would ram her head into a wire fence, trying to find her babies." Midori was deemed a "no-fly dog," meaning she wasn't suitable to be adopted abroad. But with the help of Samson's Sanctuary, Midori was spayed and is now heartworm-free, so she qualifies to fly to the US.
"She will fly with me on July 28," Mitchy said. "The first pup she will see is her daughter Momo. She deserves the world."
