Alexandra Owens had just traveled across the globe. And the one thing to make it all worth it was seeing her Golden Retriever, Hugo, once again. Hugo waited excitedly outside of the airport knowing something was about to happen. And then he was let inside for the special reunion!

Fitted with “Welcome Home” balloons, the Golden couldn’t contain his excitement when he saw Mom walk through the arrivals. The good boy took off running toward her with that tail going 100 mph! It’s so sweet and emotional, and it’s everything Alexandra needed at that moment.
