Dogs definitely have their favorite people even if they don’t get to see them very often. For an American Bully named Lulu, one of those special people is her grandma. Lulu recently tagged along with her mom to pick Grandma up from the airport, and the moment she spotted her, she absolutely lost it in the cutest way possible!
Watch as Lulu greets Grandma with nonstop kisses and the biggest, happiest cuddles. We honestly can’t tell who’s more excited, Lulu or Grandma, because the love and joy of being reunited is written all over both of their faces!
Lulu’s mom said that it’s always so much fun to pick up Grandma, and we could all tell. We have a feeling she’s not going to leave her grandma’s side during her visit!

Just how long can dogs remember people that they don’t see on a regular basis? According to The Dog People, they can remember for their whole lives, “Dogs’ short-term memory is fleeting, and their long-term memory is a web of associations rather than a movie-like memory.”
Dr. Joel Ehrenzweig, a veterinarian and geriatric memory and aging researcher at Veterinary Health Research Centers, explains that dogs remember us by scent more than by anything else. “Dog’s sense of smell is phenomenal,” Ehrenzweig explains. “It’s their strongest memory trigger.” Additionally, dogs might also recognize the faces of other dogs and people, but it likely holds less weight in their memory compared to other things, like the sound of your voice.”
It’s clear that Lulu recognized her Grandma the instant she saw her and wasted no time giving her the best “welcome back” ever. Moments like these remind us just how deep our pets’ love runs, and how lucky we are to be their favorite humans.
