And They Say Dogs Don't Remember...

You are SOOOO right!!! I have 2 cats & 2 dogs & NONE have EVER asked to use my car!!!

You are fortunate to have such loving dogs!!!

LOL that's funny

And yes that is how Gissi was with me when I first got him and then was kept in Hospital a few Days, I think he was also scared I had left him Our Dog Max previous Dog to Gissi, used to be like this with my Son, my son worked away all week and when he came home, this is what he used to get from Max, then on the Monday Morning the sadness because he knew Mike was going again, those 2 where very close

Grace had been his ONLY child up until his son was born so Grace & the soldier had been very close. My male lab will stand on his hind legs & lick my chin when I get home. He knows better than to lick any higher than my chin!!! My female jumps up & down & smiles. No matter where they are in the yard, they run to the front corner of the fence & meet me at the gate. It's soooo nice to come home to so much LOVE!!!

Yes, it is an AMAZING video!!! Gracie was an ONLY child until the son was born. It appears she had an amazing bond with her soldier!!!

I loved the look on Gracie's face when she didn't know he was home & she peeked around the door. The excitement in her eyes & the cry in her voice were unbelievable. The wife said Gracie has been known to pout when left by herself for short lengths of time so she half anticipated Gracie giving her soldier a cold shoulder. She never dreamed Gracie would go crazy with excitement!!! I have 2 cats that I've obviously spoiled rotten. As I walk down my hall they take turns being at the next door stretching up the door jam begging me to pat their head. My 2 dogs greet me at the gate to welcome me home, but they've never been as happy as Gracie!!! The female get pretty excited when time comes to fill her food bowl, but that's NOT the same thing!!!

[b]Yes, that video is a real, winner moment. I'd be so happy to have anything that loved me that much! Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

My last dog didn't cry when I returned home. However, he did smile. He would pull his lips up on his teeth in the shape of a smile. When I told my Mom about this, she said No way!!! Fortunately, my Dad had seen the dog do it & he verified it to my Mom. Many years ago I had a dog that cried when I came home from work. I know dogs can remember for 3 maybe 4 hours...even op to 8-10 hours. This guy was gone for 5 months & it was like she had just seen him yesterday...just twice as happy!!!

Overwhelming excitement are good words for it!!! I've seen dogs happy to see their masters, but can't remember seeing one quite that happy. His wife just opened the door & turned on the camera. Grace was checking out to see what was going on. Her reaction was totally amazing. I can feel her excitement while watching the video. She has not let him out of her site since his return. I used to have a cat that learned if I was going out of town, I packed a suitcase. Just as soon as I open the suitcase & laid it out on the bed to start packing, she'd jump in & go spread eagle to keep me from putting in clothes in it. She always looked at me with those really sad eyes. It got to the point that I had to pack 3 days early to be finished in time to leave. The first time I went out of town I boarded her at a vet. On return, she was skinny & pitiful. They said she refused to eat. I fed her when I got her home & she ate like a pig. She smothered me with kisses & loving pats for days. I couldn't sit down without her jumping up in my lap. After the first time, I just put down plenty of food & water & let her stay at home by herself. I never came home to a skinny, sick cat again. So, both cats & dogs love & miss us when we're gone & are happy to see us return. It's just that Grace as so overwhelmed with her happiness I couldn't help but cry. I could feel her excitement!!!

AWWWWWWWWW, that is so precious!!! My Mom said we used to have a Cocker Spaniel that cried when we left home. She had actual tears run down her face. My parents finally gave her away to a friend who could stay home with her most of the time. My mom couldn't stand leaving her crying!!!

I agree with you & I think this video proves it!!!

I'm sorry about your dog, but what a lovely story!!! You were lucky that she accepted your husband so readily. YES, dogs can be our BEST friend!!! They ask for so little, yet GIVE soooooo MUCH!!!

You don't need to convince me!!! I KNOW dogs love us. They show it ALL the time.

Oh YES, dogs are most definitely man's BEST friend!!! No matter what you do to them, they forgive you. You betray them, they forgive you. You leave them, they love you on return!!!
