Dog welcomes home soldier returning from Afghanistan (video)

Talk about unconditional love. This dog welcomes home a soldier who has been away for months fighting in the US Army.

This video has begun going viral after appearing on the news stations yesterday.

Studies have shown that people who own dogs or pets have lower blood pressure, less anxiety, stronger imunity--overall, having a dog or cat can make you live longer.

And this video of a soldier's dog welcoming him home proves why:

Sabi the Army Dog Returns Home

Another heartwarming account of soldiers and dogs reuniting is the story of Sabi, the army dog who was found after being lost for 14 months in Afghanistan.

After an ambush deep in the Uruzgan province of Taleban territory, Sabi, a bomb-sniffing labrador Army dog, was presumed dead after going MIA in battle. Then, after 14 months, Sabi was noticed by an American soldier near a remote outpost in Uruzgan.

The soldier called Sabi and she came running. In order to confirm Sabi's identity, her trainer played a familiar game by nudging a tennis ball to her with his foot. She picked it up immediately, which is a game Sabi and her handler used to play often.

Congrats to soldiers being reunited with their dogs!
