A shelter found a dog that seemed docile and friendly, leading them to believe that the dog might be a former house pet. They posted a photo of the dog online to check and see if anyone would claim him. A woman reached out and said that the dog resembled her former dog that had been stolen from her two years prior.

The shelter team allowed the woman to come and see the dog. The minute that she walked into the room with the dog, it was clear that this was indeed her pet. Both were elated to see one another and it’s the most heartwarming reunion you’ll ever see.

Watch the video to see the footage.

Dogs and their owners belong together so this is a fantastic story of triumph.
