True friendship never fades with time—and this story is living proof. Buddy, a 13-year-old Golden Retriever, had spent her entire life by the side of her beloved human, Hannah Foraker. But when Hannah joined the army and left for basic training, the two had to part for the very first time.

Three months later, Hannah returned home for Christmas—and the reunion melted hearts around the world. Despite her age, arthritis, and partial deafness, Buddy immediately recognized her best friend. She ran to her, laid her head on Hannah’s lap, and cried softly with joy. Their bond, built over years of loyalty and love, was unshaken by time or distance.

This touching reunion reminds us how deeply dogs love—and how much they remember. For Buddy, no gift could compare to the return of the person she missed the most.
