It was the longest the two friends had ever been apart.
For three whole months, Army private Hannah Foraker had been at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, undergoing basic training. So when she returned home to Cleveland for a visit over Christmas, her canine BFF, Buddy, could hardly contain her excitement.
“When I came home we let her outside and, at first, she didn’t realize I was home,” the 21-year-old soldier told ABC News. “Then, she did a double-take and came back to me. That’s when she started crying and whimpering. She was so excited.”
Buddy was so “overwhelmed,” Foraker told BuzzFeed, that she “couldn’t even stand up.”
