A heart-touching video of a stray dog recognising and greeting a man after a five-year gap has gone viral on social media, winning praise from animal lovers worldwide.
The video posted on Instagram by user Chirag HV Havelia shows the man walking across the street and calling a dog named Lily, who was once a homeless pup, by his food stand. Lily is not sure at first, but after a moment she recognises him: wagging her tail with excitement and pouring affection on him. The Chirag HV Havelia posted the video with the caption “POV: People might forget you, but dogs won’t.”
Havelia said that he moved out of the area as he was forced to close down his business, leaving the dog behind. Lily was still looked after by neighbours and friends when he was away and periodically updated and photographed. He replied that he had been afraid that she would not recognise him, but the worry faded away soon, when the moment Lily saw him, she recognised him.
The viral post has received hundreds of thousands of views and reactions, and many users have commented regarding the loyalty of the dog and her emotional attachment to her human friend. One viewer remarked that the clip made him believe in the innocence and affectionate nature of the soul of dogs, and another one remarked that the reunions such as these confirm the strong connection between animals and people.
The video has gone viral on most platforms as an example of unconditional love and loyalty between humans and dogs, and this theme is still playing in the minds of viewers worldwide.
