Boy has emotional reunion with dog who has been missing for over a year: 'I'm ugly crying'

The special bond between people and dogs is unlike any other. And this touching TikTok video from pet brand Paw Must Haves (@pawmusthaves) shows just that. The clip begins with the words, “Boy reunited with one year lost dog” displayed over a shot of an adorable pug eagerly waiting in the front seat of a car parked in front of a school. Wearing a collar of celebratory bows, the pug suddenly turns its head to peer out the window. “Piper! Who’s that? Who’s that?” a voice from behind the camera trills as a young boy approaches the vehicle. Upon seeing his dog, the boy stops dead in his tracks and bursts into tears.

The boy rushes to his long-lost pug, and a tearful homecoming ensues. "As soon as he noticed the dog, I teared up," said one user.
