The reunion of two loyal friends after a long separation - A Ukrainian soldier & his dog.

❤️‍🩹The reunion of two loyal friends after a long separation – a Ukrainian soldier and his dog.

First, the dog seemed to scold him for being away so long. Then it started hugging him.

I’m not crying. Something just got in my eye.
