Emotional reunion (Video)

Three years ago, Giorgi Berejiani‘s cherished dog, Jorge, went missing from their home in the city of Tbilisi, Georgia — but though tested, the bond of love between them never broke. After his dog’s disappearance in 2015, Berejiani looked everywhere for Jorge. When his early searches failed to turn up any sign of him, Berejiani began asking his neighbors and folks around to keep an eye out for Jorge, too. As the months turned to years with still no clues, he never gave up trying. 

And then that all changed. 62-year-old Giorgi Bereziani has been looking for him ever since. An opera house employees saw his posters and called him when they spotted a black and white dog roaming around the neighborhood. Filming as he approached the pup, who was curled up under a tree, Bereziani asked, “Jorge, is that you? Oh dear boy, how are you, boy?” Jorge perked up when he heard his owner’s voice. Once he recognized him, he began whining and wiggling with joy. It’s pretty damn adorable! 

Heartwarming reunion

“We searched for three years,” said Berejiani. “Then we found him.” Berejiani was elated to reunite with his long-lost pup — and based on his cries of joy, Jorge couldn’t have been happier to finally be found. “I’m so glad,” Berejiani said. “I have never seen him so happy.” No one knows for certain how Jorge managed to endure those years on the street living as a stray, but perhaps, like his owner, he was sustained by the hope that they’d one day be together again. And because of that, their story has a happy ending. Watch the video and take a moment to appreciate the most heartwarming video of this year!
