    Cat: Oh, you’re back. And you didn’t bring anything. (cat goes back to sleep)

    Be sure and follow the article link. There are a lot more dog greeting videos in the post. And if you’re not a dog person, just watch the last one full tear effect!

    It’s great to see soldiers coming home to happy pups. Some soldiers bring dogs home with them, like Operation Baghdad Pups, check it out http://bit.ly/4jP47q
