“Coco is more than a pet. He’s family.”
Can I just start this by saying dogs are the best. There I said it! Now we can move on.
We love a good reunion story, especially when it involves a dog. Well, this one doesn’t just involve a dog but his best friend plays a part too AND the dog cries with joy! Of course the whole thing was filmed and has since gone viral.
The video was filmed in the Philippines by a man named Rustico Samson Jr. who didn’t give up searching for his missing dog, Coco.
The emotional clip shows the moment the two see each other after being separated for 3 months.
It’s the reunion of dreams. Do not watch without a few tissues handy.
Coco went missing from his home 3 months ago and left his family lost without him. They continued their search every day since the day he went missing.
Rustico told The Dodo: “I cried. There was so much sorrow, so much pain. Coco is more than a pet. He’s family.”
Even though things didn’t look hopeful, Rustico didn’t give up hope. “I searched every corner. I even cried as I searched.”
He continued to post abut his missing bff and one day he received some good news, a stray dog fitting the same description as Coco was spotted in the city in a parking lot.
“Right at that moment, when I saw a dog lying on the floor of that parking garage, I knew it was him. I was a thousand times sure that it was Coco.”
In the video you can hear Coco weeping when he gets closer to his owner. Rustico said he “was overwhelmed. I was so happy,” Samson said. “I think Coco felt the same way at that moment. You could hear him crying like a baby.”
Turns out it was Coco and the rest is history, Coco is home now and catching up on all the love he missed out on over 3 months.
“Having Coco back home changed everything. Good vibes are back.”
