Your Thursday Day-Brightener

Mental Floss has posted a series of links to heartwarming videos of dogs greeting their owners when they return from military deployment.

I haven't yet watched them all, but the few I watched this morning made me simultaneously laugh and tear up. The top one, in particular, of a dog so ecstatic it doesn't know what to do with itself, hopping in and out of her human's lap, is just wonderful.

Now I'm going to go hug my dogs!
