Dog Loses Mom at the Park, but the Second He Spots Her is Priceless
Last summer, Carly Lynn adopted her dog, Mogul, from a local shelter, and the two have been inseparable ever since. Recently, they went to the park to play and get some exercise, but he lost track of her along the way. When he spots her, the sweetest thing happens.
The clip starts with Mogul already looking around for his mom. It looks like he's getting a little concerned that he can't find her, and he starts running around trying to figure out where she was. As soon as he spots her, he starts running at full speed back to her, and you can see the joy in his eyes that she wasn't lost!
