An astronaut who was on the Artemis II mission shared a video of the touching moment her dog welcomed her home after a trip around the Moon.
Christina Koch, 47, just returned to Earth on Friday after completing a historic flight around the moon, along with three male colleagues.
A camera captured the moment her dog, named Sadie, was waiting for his owner after her nearly 10-day journey into space.
Sadie could be seen scratching at the door, apparently knowing it was Koch returning home.
The door opens with quick steps and the astronaut mirrors the dog's emotion, falling to her knees as she calls his name.
The dog seemed almost unable to control his emotions, running around Koch before grabbing a toy to show him.
The reunion garnered hundreds of thousands of likes and thousands of comments, with many noting how touched they were by this moment.
Furthermore, the post was accompanied by another moment of her and Sadie playing on the beach while running through the shallow waters, looking very happy to be together again. /Telegraph/
