Dog and Soldier Reunions That Steal Our Heart Every Time

These emotional reunions between soldiers and their best friends are some of our favorites. The 7 military reunions we identified celebrate the amazing bond these families have with their dogs.

Heartwarming doesn't even scratch the surface. The "welcome home" greetings from these dogs may have you running for an entire box of Kleenex.

One way to celebrate veterans everywhere is to hire a veteran to help you out at work or a military spouse. They need our support in every way possible.

When P.J returned from Air Force basic training in Pensacola, Florida, dad Ken decided to organize the homecoming. As Romeo was in the garden, P.J. hid in his room and almost as soon as the devoted pup caught his scent he ran excitedly through the house.

This adorable dog was sent into a state of delirium when his soldier dad surprised him after six months of being away - proving absence really makes the heart grow fonder. Best buds Bentley, 2, and his soldier dad, Dylan Cox, hadn't seen each other for over half a year.
