Dog Doesn't Recognize Owner After Weight Loss...Until He Sniffs Him

[catbyte]

This guy had been in the hospital for a long time. His dog missed him a lot, but when he finally came back home, his pup didn't recognize him.

[question everything]

1. What a happy reunion

...how touching. 💜

4. Oh, how cute!

I doubt it was the weight loss that threw the doggo off. Dude probably had all kinds of weird smells all over him from the hospital, masking his personal scent. The dog had to get really close to him to get a good whiff and realize who he was. And once he did, how adorable!

5. ***DADDY!***

You fooled me.

Daddy's home!

7. If we can find a way to harness tail wagging energy

We wouldn't have to worry about power outages.

8. A dog I had as a kid that didn't recognize me after I got a short summer haircut.

Barked at me for four or five minutes after I got out of the car before she came over and sniffed me, then--"Oh, yeah, I know you. You're my Hooman!"
