Early last year Shane Godfrey found a puppy abandoned on his front porch and knew that he had to keep him.
Godfrey remained in the hospital for five weeks, and while his condition did improve, he lost more than fifty pounds.
As you can see in the video, he was uncertain who he was meeting at first, but the nose always knows!
"At first he was unsure and barked at me but once he got close enough to smell me he recognized me immediately and totally went wild with excitement," Godfrey said. "It still makes me tear up when I see the video."
You're not the only one!
