Lucky, a lively golden retriever puppy, had a special job every afternoon—riding along with Luke's mom to pick him up from school. This dog’s heartwarming reaction to seeing his boy after school is so precious! 

Lucky was excited to ride in the car because he knew what that meant: he would be reunited with his best friend. The moment they pulled up to the school, his whole demeanor changed. His ears perked up, and his tail wagged uncontrollably. He would dash to the front door, ready to jump into the car. Sitting in the backseat, Lucky could barely contain his excitement as they approached the school.

As the car pulled into the pick-up line, Lucky’s eyes were glued to the school doors. He watched intently, his tail thumping rapidly against the seat as kids started to pour out of the building. Every time someone came into view, Lucky’s anticipation grew. He let out little whines, unable to contain the excitement bubbling up inside him. But when he finally saw Luke, his favorite human, walking toward the car, Lucky went into full overdrive.

He barked excitedly, paws pressing against the window as if trying to get closer to Luke. His whole body wiggled with joy, his tail wagging so fast it was a blur. His puppy energy was bursting at the seam, but  Luke was ready for him. He laughed as he dropped his backpack and scooped up his furry friend. The joy in their reunion was undeniable, filling the car with warmth and happiness.

Lucky’s joy was infectious as he licked Luke’s face, his little barks a chorus of happiness. Luke hugged him tightly, happy to see his loyal companion. Their bond was evident in every interaction, in that moment, the long school day faded away, and all that mattered was being reunited with his best friend. As they settled back into the car, Luke and Lucky were a picture of pure joy—proof that the best part of the day is coming home to someone who loves you unconditionally.

Thank God for the incredible gift of friendship with animals. Their unconditional love, loyalty, and companionship brighten our days and bring joy to our hearts. Through them, we see a glimpse of God’s kindness and creativity, and we are reminded of the beauty of connection and care. 

Proverbs 12:10 "The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel."
