One dog’s sweet and over-the-top reaction to seeing its owner return home will melt your heart. The pup was more than a little excited to see one of its favorite people walking up the driveway. Watch the short but heartwarming and hilarious clip to see how the canine responded.

How can you not love dogs or, at the very least, like and appreciate them? They are, without question, some of the most loyal, dependable and loving members of God’s creation. Repeatedly, as seen in clip after clip, it’s proven that dogs, indeed, are man’s best friend. Seriously, you probably need to keep a close eye on those who don’t like dogs.

Show a dog even the smallest amount of kindness and attention, and you’ve got yourself a friend for life. A clip posted on YouTube shows how overjoyed one pup was to see its owner and best friend return. The animal could not contain its happiness, and it literally began leaping for you, making for a pretty hilarious but sweet and heartwarming display.

The short video begins with the person behind the camera making his way up the driveway, likely returning home from work. The animal spots the individual coming toward them and reacts in the sweetest way. The pup, behind a wooden fence, begins to leap up and down repeatedly. The dog’s enthusiastic greeting even causes the man behind the camera to chuckle.

While the dog’s reaction is beyond adorable, it’s also fairly impressive. The pup has an incredible vertical leap. It seemingly gets more air with each subsequent jump. With a couple of the animal’s higher leaps, its tail even comes into view as it wags excitedly back and forth.

Who wouldn’t want to see their pet react similarly, even just one time?
