Emotional And Exciting Reunion Of A Lost Dog With His Human Will Leave You In Tears
What is the best present one could ask for? How about your old dog? That's right! This boy, Tyler Bandy, who is 10 years old, came home to his biggest surprise as he was greeted with kisses and love from his old dog, Bruiser, as soon as he stepped foot in the house.

Not long ago, in January, Bruiser got lost while running after a rabbit during a walk.
His family put in all their efforts to find Bruiser. They posted on social media, left out old clothes for him to smell and identify, put up fliers all across their neighborhood, and continuously checked with animal control.

The family started losing hope when they did not receive any leads for weeks. As Jamie Bandy, Tyler's mom, put it, they were all “starting to lose hope.”
The Highlands County Sheriff's Office shared on their Facebook, “That’s when the phone rang. It turns out their dog had been picked up by somebody on their way to Highlands County and, after a couple of months, it wound up in the hands of our animal services folks.”
Tyler shocked to see Bruiser
One of the staff members at animal services noticed that she might have seen him somewhere. She searched social media and came across Bruiser's details on Facebook. It was then that Bruiser was returned to his parents. However, they wanted to keep it a secret to surprise Tyler.
And boy, it really was a surprise; you can see it in Tyler's reaction.
The Highlands County Sheriff's Office added, “To say Bruiser had a joyous homecoming would be putting it lightly.”

Though Tyler was shocked to see Bruiser when he came home, they were both happy to be back together. Tyler's immediate reaction was to hug Bruiser, and he started sobbing simultaneously. At the same time, Bruiser expressed his joy and excitement by wagging his tail and licking Tyler.
[Tyler] was simply overcome when his parents surprised him with his best friend,” the Highlands County Sheriff's Office added. “The two have been inseparable since.”
