The end of astronaut Christina Koch’s year in space included an emotional reunion with her dog, LBD, and a video of the moment is getting millions of views on social media.

Koch tweeted the video late Thursday, and it starts with the dog pawing at the door and whipping its tail when it sees her through a window.

could it be you always sneak it snacks? LOL

According to the article ‘LBD’ stands for ‘little black dog.’ Ok then, glad they are reunited.

Ok. The dog didn’t go to space. LOL!

Same here. I'm thinking that dog would tear up everything in sight and never last that long.

Good stuff! Cats? Meh. Who needs ‘em?

That poor woman won't even be able to go to the supermarket for milk and eggs anymore without that dog going off the rails when she comes home.

Indeed. Dogs have no sense of time. To them, when you leave the house...It's FOREVER.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I’ll think about that later.

Yeah...that's a game best played after work. At home. Alone.

My ex would act like that when I came back from a business trip.

That’s nothing, my dog does that every day when my wife comes home. Sometimes when she just runs out for milk. Dogs are the best That’s good stuff.

For later.

Or distance. One of my old Dachshunds loved to ‘go for a ride’. I’d pull into the back yard with our little pickup, close the gate, then open the passengers’ side door and let her hop in. Just a few little 5 MPH loops around the swimming pool, and she’d jump out, zoom in the dog door, and do the wagging butt dance in my wife’s lap like, “Mommy! Mommy! I just went for a long trip! It was fun! Where were you?” LOL God, I miss that dog, his sister, and that little tagalong we picked up along the way.

Has any human ever escaped from orbiting Earth?

That clip wasn’t long enough! :-)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

HA! That there’s funny Dog Tales.

Sorry, I said ‘she’, and it was a ‘he’. He was such a mama’s boy, you had to flip him over to check whether he had a spigot or a bucket. LOL!

And a cat would have just walked away.....
