Sam.... I had to laugh by the end of this series of photos. It was so sad at the beginning and then by the time I got the families greeting their returning heros....then the girl and her dog! LOL. But, you have to love it! Some people are just animal people.....So cute!

The joyful and happy reunions are good to see.

Thank you for both.
