Military homecomings can be incredibly moving. When family members, friends, or romantic partners have been separated for months, finally getting to see each other again is like a dream come true! Then, of course, there’s the overwhelming relief that, at least for now, the returning soldier is safe and sound. It’s no wonder that so many people choose to film the beautiful moments their loved ones return from service!
Humans aren’t the only ones who get emotional during military homecomings. Soldiers who leave pets behind while on duty are always heartily welcomed back by their four-legged friends! Although animals probably don’t know the dangers their owners have been facing, they’re still ecstatic to see them come home.
Here are some of the most beautiful military homecomings of all time. Be sure to keep a box of tissues handy!
1. These lovebirds were separated for a while, but now they have the rest of their lives to make up for it.

4. Man’s best friend could not have been more excited to reunite with this returning soldier.
