Have you ever wondered if dogs remember their siblings after being apart? One pet owner decided to find out by reuniting her golden retriever, Finnley, with his brother, Jet, in a surprise meeting at the park.
Curious about whether the two would recognize each other after some time apart, she set up an unexpected encounter. She and Jet’s owner walked past each other in the park without giving any hints to the dogs, acting like complete strangers.
As Finnley and Jet approached each other, they paused briefly. Then, as if a light bulb went off, their tails started wagging wildly! In no time, they were playing together like old pals. The reunion was a heartwarming success.
“Finnley and Jet are 7-month-old golden retriever siblings from the same litter,” Mom explained in her caption. “They had not seen each other in over a month so we arranged an ‘accidental’ run-in to see if the brothers would recognize each other on their own, with no cues while crossing paths.”
She continued, “As they got closer they had a moment of hesitation then their tails started wagging like crazy and within seconds they were back to being inseparable as if they’d never been apart.”
The touching video melted hearts online. Many people shared their own stories of pet siblings reuniting. Some were really sweet!
“We took our girl to a dog social and she ran over to a pup that looked just like her… talked to the owners and after getting her DNA done we found out they were siblings!” wrote one user. “They knew right away!”
Another person shared a funny opposite experience.
“This is so funny cuz my dog ran into its own mother once and neither of them cared AT ALL lol,” they said.
Well, not every dog is as affectionate as Finnley and Jet. It’s amazing how they recognized each other almost instantly!
