Dog welcomes owner after 9 day trip

First, let me say that this post is going to be a bit ridiculously video-laden. I do not mean to be offensive or lessen the sacrifice of our soldiers and their families with my comparison of a long vacation to an overseas deployment. I do mean to be funny. If I can put a little smirk on your face, then I'm happy.  Also, I should note that my video has not been edited. If I knew how to do that fancy stuff, I would have. I talk a lot in the video and you can hear it clearly because I'm holding the camera. Feel free to watch it with the volume off. I promise, I won't mind.


First up: US Soldier reunites with dog:

Next up: Soldier welcomed home by happy dog: This one doesn't actually start until like 2:30 so fast forward. I mean, who wants to watch a dog look out the window for two minutes? Not me.
