I am so sorry for your loss, a dog is not a pet, is a family member. I have two Siberian Huskies and one of them has a tumor in her head that cannot be operated and that tumor gives her seizures, is not a pretty sight when she has the seizures. She is my baby and I spoil rotten her every day. It is just a matter of time when her meds are not going to help her anymore and I will have to put her down. Up to that point in time I will cherished her one day at a time. God bless these lovely family members. Best regards from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
No, him. He is a literal dog-human hybrid. A dog person. Dogman, if you will. Homo-canis. A lot of my friends think that they're a dog; This guy really is. How else do you explain those noises? Science.
This guy knows how to communicate with his dog using body language, verbal cues, and appropriate tact in escalating engagement which he learned from observing their instinctive communication. He could be more nuanced in the approach, but he's excited so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. So the fact that you don't recognize this suggests that you're either not a "dog person" or just haven't spent enough time around dogs to discover that you are. It's about your ability to observe, understand, and replicate genuine behavior. Most people don't even get to the observation part because the dog is, in all psychological reality, just a fuckin toy to them. Or maybe I'm just a narcissist, that's a very real possibility. But yeah you could probably successfully cross-identify as a cowman in modern western society just for enjoying mooing with cows and if anyone gives you shit about it just go bawl your eyes out to your Tumblr circlejerk. Note: That was not a statement against trans anything. Note note: I shouldn't have had to make that note and this point proves my original point.
He probably hates children, babies, authority figures, work, Conservatives, Democrats who are not far left enough, thinks it's cool when his buddy feeds live mammals to his snake...he's that kind of guy.
The love an animal has is unbelievable. So glad I've known it. From big & small. I still cry over the ones who passed. They fill my heart. Memories that can't or won't pass. Bless them all.
My dog does this if I’ve been out for ten minutes! Several years ago I ran a music store and the owner had a dog, Kelly, that quickly became my best friend. 3-4 times a day I would walk with her down to a local restaurant so I could get my fixes of iced tea. She would always wait patiently outside the door and then would follow me back to the store. Well, I eventually left and went on to other things. About six years later I went back to the store to see how things were doing. I went into the owner’s office and Kelly was under his desk, growling at me. This went on for five minutes when suddenly there was a racket under the desk and Kelly came sprinting out, jumped up on me and began licking me crazily on my face. It took her that long but she finally remembered me. I guess by smell. I once read an “expert” once that said dogs don’t have long term memory. BS.
2 years for human but that's like 11 years for dogs since they don't live long plus there's this cool new thing called the "internet" which allows you to speak to your love ones face to face via an "app" pretty cool right.
Beautiful dog welcome his daddy coming home after two years he is very good friendly dog owner love him thank you for sharing Bless you all have a good day
Do dogs actually recognize their owners after being away for so long? I would assume it would have to do very little with their face but more for the scent?
ANNA belle their most developed sense is their smell. That’s why sometimes they will bark at you after seeing you and then just lick your fave after smelling you
Jordan Allen dogs recognize a person's voice before their appearance. You can see the dog go "wait a min..." once the guy starts barking, then the dog nervously crawls toward him when he calls his name, because he's still unsure but knows that voice. The excitement happens after he confirms the smell. Running back to mom like he's saying "It's him! It's him!". So sweet.
I live in foreign country, and when i cameback 4 years later for holidays, my dog still wiggled his hair as if he saw me yesterday, your video made me smile, Thank you!
That's great... I had a similar experience with my husky after not seeing him for a year or two. I came into my parents house to visit and he was terrified at first and froze. After about 4-5 seconds he finally remembered me and got all excited. It was so cool watching his facial expression change as he started to remember me.
The dog thought you were dead or never coming home: the moral of the story is to talk with your pet so they don't go through all the loss unnecessarily! See? It's not "just a dog," or just a cat. They are bound to you in true affection. Don't forget it!
@Vitale I have a 15 year old Cocker Spaniel. Showing his age. I tell myself I have given him the same life I'd give to my own child to try to get that "He's had a very good life" feeling to help cope and prepare myself. I dread the day that I know is nearing. You see others post who are still hurting 10 or 20 years later. That too is my fear. The dog I had before was when I was 22. He ran out of the yard after a stray dog and was hit by 2 cars and killed immediately. I am now 60 and it still haunts me.
@@larryturner2830 I'm not sure I'm giving you the best advice here because I don't drink or use drugs but in the past I've taken Xanax and it helps but it is addictive although I've never gotten addicted myself a lot of people have! Anyway when that day does come you will be extremely stressed and at your age I'm not sure that's such a good thing so maybe get some prescription Xanax by doctor and have it ready for when your freind does pass away because it will be extremely stressful for you! And you don't want to give yourself a heart attack or something.. I've read somewhere that when an animal that's very close to you passes it's actually harder on people than when a person that is close passes away because with people it's complicated we always have mixed emotions with people, but with your animal freind all you have is love and it so can be extremely stressful and hard and Xanax if used responsibly takes the edge off and I'd never recommend drinking because I've seen the results of that or taking drugs but again I think Xanax if taken responsibly can really help you out when that awful inevitable day does come ...
Reminds of our family dog. When I moved away to city I only come to our family home every 6 months and every time he sees me coming from afar he would lean his 2 feet forward figuring out if it's me who is coming. I used to trick him also by changing my moves, but once he figured out and recognized me, he would dash his way to me and grinning in joy. That dog actually grins literally when he is happy. He would never allow me to enter the house and sit down without hugging him. Then one day I visited my parents again, I was surprised that he did not receive me and when I asked my parents, they told me that he was gone. He was turning 16 when he passed away, I think the maximum age in the life span of a dog.
I love this vlog. Just lovely, fun and a joy to watch and listen. I love the shared dog barks conversation, followed by the crazy affection by the younger dog. I loved the quiet love and affection between the older dog and returning family member! ❤️ ❤️ I'm smiling!
Hahaha, they're like two cartoon characters. The first one is like "Oh my god, mom! Is really him!", and the second doggy came walking happily in a reflexive tone, like saying "Good to see you here, my friend".
Dog's life is short , as long as he/she had a nice family who loved him/her .....No matter how many years later, when you watch back this video, sure still bring you smile in yr face !
RIP Jake. It’s not sad when a dog you gave a wonderful life to passes. Its just the end of their ‘story’ while we we lucky enough to be their human. Funny how we think they are our possession, when its actually the opposite. One of humanity’s greatest creations- companion pets. I travel for work, and go through this experience many times a year. Its one of my favorite things. 1 dog, 3 cats…. All come and welcome me in their own way, every time.
I was surprised when I was away for a month one time and came back my dog barked at me when I came through the back gate. Acted just like this dog did. I love my go, he's great. I'd of liked a little more excitement though, and not a angry welcome. Of course when we walked inside he went right to where his bones are kept and started asking for one lol.
They obviously steal. They can't do the others because they don't speak English. I love animals too, don't put them on this weird pedestal like they are superior because you are a nihilist.
In June 2007 I tried to get my drunk father to capture this almost identical meeting with my dog, after being away, but only for 9 to 10 weeks. My Percy‘s reaction was almost identical to this first growling, a little barking, but very quickly the outpouring of love. My father thought it was a stupid thing to do so I had to try to capture it myself with my Sony Handy cam that I had brought to Honolulu with me… I was of course more interested in hugging my dogs and taking his pictures so it’s so shaky you really miss that key moment, the expression in his eyes etc. so thank you so much for filming this and allowing me to relive that memorable moment… it sounds stupid for me to say this but I had never heard of anyone else doing it before and I was always genuinely fascinated by my dogs intelligence… So when it became really trendy later on, and dog food commercials or banking commercials or other people doing it blah blah blah I would like to meet someone who did it before I did… I guess I’m only saying this because it’s so ironic that my own father called it stupid, and it just represents for me how little recognition I ever got for so many innovative things I did in my life.... I would love someone to tell me that they themselves did it also, before there were iPhones, Wat before The word selfie was even in existence… Way before everybody was conveniently walking around with cameras in their pockets... more importantly this is just coming from a place where I am so blown away by how similar it was to my own experience that didn’t forgive me for feeling so hated by the world right now LOL!
Adorbs! Max is so chill. I love dogs like that. Their love is quiet and runs deep! You have 2 great doggies! One jumpy happy like Tigger and a quiet thoughtful one like Pooh.
You got the name of the vid wrong. It should have been "My reaction to my dogs ... " Also i love the second dog reaction "Yeah .. you're home. Well done."
Always remember that dog’s keenest sense is their smell. That’s why sometimes your dog will bark at you when it sees you, but then wags its tail and lick your face after smelling you
I know this is old. But i remember seeing my lab after 19 months. I was deployed and made the decision to stay in country. He was sooo happy to see me. He past away on my next deployment. He got into some coyote bait. RIP. Maximus. ❤️
Welcome home! Take it your a vet. Thank you for your contribution and sacrifice! Glad to see you made it home safely. And if you were in prison, shame on you!
I’m so looking forward to this. AND it was worth it. Oh I think that dog is in shock. I think every family in the world that has owned dogs has named one of them Max. We had a Max. So sweet.
