The heartwarming moment is captured when a grandfather in Ventura, California reunited with a dog he once called a "fleabag."

"My grandpa Donovan raised me but never allowed me to get a dog as a kid. His motto: I ain’t takin’ care of no fleabags! During college — still living at home — I impulsively adopted a dog. They fell love and became BFFs. Now that I live in a different state, he pays for her to fly out with me to visit," said Crista Tappan, his granddaughter of the adorable moment from December 5.

Grandpa (Donovan Wolfe, who raised me) never allowed me to get a dog as a kid. His motto: I ain’t takin’ care of no flea bags! During college (still living at home) I impulsively adopted a dog. They fell love and became BFFs. Now that I live in a different state, he pays for her to fly out with me to visit. Video was taken by me, Crista Tappan, during mine and my husband, Michael Tappan, on our trip to Ventura, California a few weeks ago.
