A German Shepard quickly pads by the front door - only to skitter to a halt and double back quick as can be.

Piecing together events Stop in His Tracks When His Soldier Comes Home for the Holidays / Reddit The video itself does not come with much context. Some comments on platforms such as Reddit and Tumblr noted that the soldier appears to give more attention to the dog than to his son. However, Newsweek found some posts that make sense of the sequence of events. "They probably picked him up or met him at base," one post rationalizes, referring to the soldier's human family. "So they saw him and got home while he got his gear. The whole family was waiting for the dog moment." Another comment notes, "The kid would've been at the welcome home ceremony and already saw his dad. It's likely not his first time seeing his son but first time for the dog." Indeed, seeing the soldier already in the house with another family member milling about, it appears this surprise wasn't necessarily for the humans because they had their big reunion already. This moment belonged to the bundle of excited fluff who can't get close enough to his human friend. Watch the heartwarming moment below just in time for the holidays. https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/k6k0lc/literally_stopped_in_its_tracks/?utm_sourceshare&utm_mediumweb2x&context3
