Watch Nervous Dog Transform As She Realizes ‘Stranger’ Is Actually Her Dad

A lot can happen in six months — seasons change, friendships bloom, and new memories are made while others fade. Yet some things, like the unconditional love of a dog, remain constant.

Just ask Valentina, this sweet pup.

One day, the person Valentina loves more than anything — her dad — walked out the door and didn’t return as he usually does. She could never have known that, due to life’s demands, his absence would last much longer than expected.

Days Turned Into Months for Valentina

As the days turned to weeks and the weeks into months, Valentina endured six long months without her dad. But, as this emotional reunion video shows, his love never left her heart.

Though initially unsure and possibly in disbelief, the pup was soon overwhelmed with joy when she confirmed with a sniff that her dad was truly home.

A Moment to Cherish

According to TikTok user McMoliday, who shared the heartwarming video, it was just as joyful for Valentina’s dad.

“He had to work overseas for 6 months and just came home,” McMoliday shared. “She’s 13-and-a-half years old, and we are loving the time we have left with her.”
