The tails were a-wagging! Both Joey and his female friend were hyped up during their reunion. It's hard to believe they've only been apart for two weeks. Both dogs popped up on their hind legs and embraced each other. It was like they were hugging each other! They were so happy to be together.
"Joey and his girlfriend after two weeks apart…" the video's text overlay reads.
"Aren't they cute?" the caption adds.
They totally are!
Commenters were so in love with these two lovebirds.
"I'm thinking a nice dog park wedding," joked one person.
"The owners need to buy a house next to each other like yesterday, and have a doggy door into each other's homes!" someone else begged.
"Wow, look at the tails wagging," chimed in a third commenter.
"They're practicing the upcoming wedding dance, soul pups," praised another person.
Can Dogs Fall in Love?
Dogs are certainly friendly creatures, but what about love and romance? The answer is yes, dogs can fall in love! A 2014 study found that dogs' brains release oxytocin, a hormone that plays a role in social bonding, when they are near a dog they like. The hormone is known as the "love hormone" - so you know this must be true!
These two show all the signs of being in love with each other. They're sweethearts, that's a fact!
