A heartwarming video has emerged of a pit bull jumping onto her owner with excitement as they are reunited for the first time in eight months.

The footage, shot on May 17 in New Orleans, LA, USA, shows Dorothy jumping up and down and running around the house as she finally can play with her owner Kerry.

"When Kerry returned this May, she had no idea whether Dorothy would remember her," the filmer wrote online.

"Turns out Dorothy was as excited to see Kerry as Kerry was to see her."

Eight months ago, Kerry left Dorothy the pitbull at home in New Orleans and left to travel the world with her friend, Jessica. (More on their journey here: https://www.instagram.com/travelerbroads and here: http://www.travelerbroads.com .) When Kerry returned this May, she had no idea whether Dorothy would remember her. Turns out Dorothy (full name Dorothy Zbornak Maloney aka Dee Doo) was as excited to see Kerry as Kerry was to see her, as you can tell from this heartwarming footage from their reunion. Every traveler should have such an adorable homecoming!
