When COVID-19 first hit, it caused many states to impose stay-at-home orders to stop the deadly virus from spreading. This led to isolation, with many people missing their family, friends, and coworkers. It would seem that even our pets missed their other pet friends during the coronavirus quarantine.

One video shows just how much our animals miss each other when they can’t be together for an extended period.

The lockdown changed life for everyone, including pets

Before COVID-19, the two dogs in this story liked to play together at the local park. They would visit every day with their respective owners and had gotten to be best friends. So, when the lockdown was put in place, they had no idea what had happened.

When they realized that they were no longer going to the park, as usual, the two dogs were devastated.

Setting up a meeting between the two

Their owners were caught by surprise by their reaction to not seeing each other. To remedy this, as soon as they were able, the two owners contacted one another to set up a meeting.

They hoped that a meeting could help the two doggie friends overcome the gloom that had settled over their lives.

The two dogs are so happy to see each other

In the video, the two dogs are so happy to see each other. As they approach one another, they quickly move into an embrace as you hear one of the owners exclaim that they were hugging.

Whether they got this action from watching their owners is unclear. What is known is that the two friends were happy to finally be able to be together, even if for only a short time.

The dogs seemed to genuinely miss each other

The dogs seem to genuinely have missed each other, and the video shows that even our pets miss each other when they are separated for some time. The cuteness of the moment captured on video with the dogs’ simple expression of affection has touched the hearts of many online.

Do dogs show affection?

Many dogs show affection for other dogs. Mostly this is through licks or sniffs and not hugs. Other ways that dogs show affection is by wagging their tail, cuddling, and sleeping with other animals.

So, if your dog has another dog outside of your home that they like to play with, make sure to set up a playdate with them occasionally. This should keep your pet from missing them too much.

This behavior is not only restricted to dogs but other animals as well, including the family cat or another pet in your home. And, of course, they also care for the humans in their family and show them plenty of affection as well.

You can watch the video of the two friends below.
