Our story begins with soldier Janna Berger, who had to relocate to a different city for her Advanced Individual Training. Eight months away from home made her realize how much she missed her faithful dog, Murphy, even more than her own family. Poor Murphy was left pining for his mom, waiting outside Janna’s room every day, longing for her return.
The scene shifts to Janna’s homecoming in Salem, Ohio. The moment she steps foot into her house, she calls out for Murphy. He comes running, but something needs to be fixed. Seeing Janna in her soldier’s uniform, he fails to recognize her. Murphy had only ever seen her in civilian clothes! He barks at her and runs off, breaking Janna’s heart.
But wait, the story doesn’t end there!
Murphy watches Janna from a distance. As she removes her hat, recognition dawns on him. Realizing that his beloved mom has returned, he barks loudly. Overwhelmed by emotions, his reaction might be delayed, but it’s priceless. He charges towards Janna, showering her with love.
Janna collapses on the ground, accepting Murphy’s cuddles and kisses. His joy knows no bounds as he zooms around, embracing his favorite person in the world.
This heartwarming reunion shows that dogs never forget their loved ones, regardless of how much time passes or how much their humans change—our thanks to Janna for sharing this special moment with us.
Watch the emotional reunion between Janna and Murphy after a long eight months apart!
