Serving one’s country is one of the hardest jobs globally, and even with the risks that come with it, many people are bravely choosing this noble profession.
Indeed, the honor of serving a country is certainly immeasurable. But one of the hardest parts of military life, aside from fighting on the battlefield, is deployment. Soldiers are trained to be tough, but it can still be hard for them to leave and not to be with their families for months — or even for a whole year. And yes, it can also be hard for them to leave their beloved dogs.
But their moments apart only strengthens the love they have for each other. That’s why when soldiers return home, it can be so heartwarming to see dogs act so excited because of so much longing. And this is what a dog has exactly shown when her mom, Bailey, has returned after her deployment in Kuwait.
In this heartwarming video, a German Shepherd named Seiko can be seen being called by her grandma to greet somebody at the door. The excited dog immediately ran to see who could that be, but suddenly stopped in her tracks when he saw a ‘stranger’ standing inside their house.
‘An intruder!’, she might have said. Seiko was a bit afraid at first and closely assessed the woman who excitedly greeted her. Seeing that the German Shepherd was still ‘suspicious’ of her presence, Bailey handed out her hand so Seiko can sniff and lick it.
After a few moments, Seiko ‘went crazy’ and got so excited because she finally recognized that the uniformed woman was her beloved mom! He was so excited that he kept on jumping and licking Bailey like there’s no tomorrow!
Bailey had left Seiko when he was just a pup and was already a one-year-old dog when she returned. She did expect that the dog would not recognize her first; that is why she kept on calling her name the first time they met again. Fortunately, after moments of ‘assessment’ from the suspicious dog, Seiko has recognized that it was her mom. And it was very touching to watch their reunion as the dog didn’t hold back her overflowing happiness and excitement in seeing her mom again.
