There’s nothing quite like coming home from a long trip and being greeted at the airport with open arms, or open paws as the case may be. This absolutely delightful clip shows two sweet German Shepherds<\/strong>, Moose and Montana, literally crying with joy at seeing mom.<\/p>\n The on-screen text explains, “My bf brought our German Shepherds to pick me up at the airport.”<\/p>\n The beasties got to ride along and almost jump out of the car window trying to deliver kisses! It’s pawsitively adorable.<\/p>\n The top commenter correctly defined their vibe with “Seal mode activated.” When the ears go back, it definitely looks like the buds have morphed into seals. So many posters expressed joy at the ear-tastic hello with @Haley & Harlow adding, “I love when their ears go down and they just melt, the sweetest babies.”<\/p>\n Related: Golden Retriever Puppy Gets Left Out of Crate by Accident and Pure Sweetness Ensues<\/strong><\/p>\n “The best welcoming ever,” chimed in @zoeyzippernose. Finally @User070975182 put out the best observation, “That would make my day, week, month, and year! Look at Moose. He is so happy to see you.”<\/p>\n Not to be outdone, another video shows the two guys react “When Daddy comes home from a six-month deployment.” It’s happiness and then some from the Shepherds who literally leap for joy. @Kamia Sioux Thundershield Holt correctly described it as, “Such a emotional reunion.”<\/p>\n Some of this is obvious, but there is real research to back up what we all know: Our dogs love it when we come home (although perhaps they really just want us to never leave.)<\/p>\n One interesting study<\/a> tried to figure out if dogs think of us as two-legged canines or do they somehow get that we’re a different species. Using an MRI and smells, of course, the scientists determined that they know which scents belong to people and which to other dogs.<\/p>\n More importantly, “The scent of a familiar human evokes a reward response in the brain. ‘No other scent did that, not even that of a familiar dog,'” the head researcher explained. He continued, “‘It\u2019s not the case that they see us as \u2018part of their pack as dogs,\u2019 they know that we\u2019re something different \u2014 there\u2019s a special place in the brain just for us.'” That explains why they can barely contain themselves when we walk in the door, Moose and Montana included.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a><\/strong>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by PetHelpful<\/a> on Nov 3, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
