Picture the scene at our house when we come home after being away for a few hours. Our dog, Maggie, is patiently waiting by the door to greet us. Our loving companion even seems to know what time of day my husband should be coming through the door. She lays on the floor directly in front of the door, waiting for her best friend to enter.

Can you imagine how your dog would react if it took you a year to come home?

While waiting in line to purchase my new Iphone I talked with Ron and his son, Casey. They told me about a video they made of Casey’s dog when he returned from a one year tour with the Idaho National Guard in Iraq.

This is one excited dog. My favorite part of the video is the huge long hug.
