Okay, animal fam, go get your tissues ready. We feature lots of heartwarming stories here at Animal Comedy, but most of them always involve a little bit of hope. Recently, we wrote an article about a person whose doggo got lost in a snowstorm and was found 30 hours later thanks to a drone. 30 hours in a snowstorm is indeed a chilling thought, but compared to the senior man in this story who lost his pup for three years, 30 hours is nothing. 

We don't know much about how the dog got lost, but even after putting up lost dog flyers and advertising for help, he still never found his precious doggo, Jorgi. That is, until one day, he got a call from a worker downtown, telling him to come outside of their work because they recognized his dog. The pawrent rushed there, and low and behold, his dog recognized him. From there, the video starts and thus begins the heartwarming reunion. Scroll down to watch below, but only if you're ready to have a hearty, happy cry.

  • We can't imagine losing our doggo for three years. We don't know what we would do with ourselves. We wouldn't be able to sleep, not knowing where they were or if they were okay.

    Giorgi can be heard saying: 'Jorge, is that you?' Jorg Jorge, it's you! Oh, dear boy, how are you, boy?'

  • These pictures don't do it justice, you can't hear the emotion in the doggo's or the man's voice upon reuniting. It's both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. But the impawtant part is that they're back together now!

    SheOutOfBubbleGum My favorite part is that the pup seems to respond to his name automatically. Then he registers what's happening
