A Georgia family got an unexpected, but very welcome surprise while local news cameras rolled this Fourth of July. Will Rumley was discussing the family’s missing dog, Judo with a reporter when the pooch reappeared at the door!

Rumley recently lost his wife and the mother of his two young sons to a brain tumor. Judo’s return marked a much-needed moment of joy for the grieving family.

“The dog wasn’t scratching at the door or anything like that… And there he is!” Rumley shouted in surprise as he spotted his missing dog in the middle of his interview. “He just showed up… Awesome! You have to get this on tape. While we were talking, he showed up.”

Judo likely ran off after being frightened by holiday fireworks. Luckily he found his way home safe and sound. Officials recommend keeping pets securely confined during fireworks and checking local shelters for missing pets.
