As a military family member and animal lover, I'm a big fan of soldier and pet reunions. Of course, nothing is better than seeing a soldier reunite with their spouse, kids, parents, or siblings, but pets are family, too…and they love their military heroes just the same!
Need proof? This adorable video is guaranteed to make you smile no matter what kind of day you're having. Here we see Molly, a precious, eight-year-old golden retriever, reunite with her military mama. The brave U.S. Air Force Captain had just been away on a tour in Afghanistan and, as you can see in the video, she's just as excited to be back home as Molly is to have her. The look on this happy senior dog's face made me melt, and I'm so happy that she finally has her mom home.
It's special moments like these that make me beyond grateful for our American troops. They sacrifice so much being away from their loved ones for long periods of time to fight for something so much bigger than all of us. It's the most courageous and selfless thing you can do, don't you think?
Please SHARE this touching reunion with your friends as a way to be thankful for brave soldiers like Molly's owner!
