Not every reunion between owner and dog goes to plan.

Here, 10-year-old dachshund Demi, who hadn't seen her best friend and owner Matthew in two years while he was stationed overseas in Japan, is sceptical when the US Marine comes home.

Upon their reunion Demi at home in Texas, his beloved senior dog, is heard barking and running away from Matthew.

Luckily (at 1:23 in the video) Demi finally appears to recognise her owner and cries with delight.

Demi was living with Ashley, the filmer and Matthew's younger sister while he was stationed abroad.

Ashley told Newsflare: "Her initial reaction was shock and it doesn’t really hit her that Matthew’s home until he gets down to her level and she can really smell him. This is the reaction we all initially expected.

"She didn't recognise him - or maybe she did. That’s for you to decide."

The sweet video was recorded at home in Killeen, north of Austin, in April 2019.

Demi is a 10.5 year old wiener dog and hasn’t seen her best friend and owner in 2 years as he was stationed over seas in the military. Her initial reaction was not an expected one and she sure has a lot to say.

This is part 2 of Demi’s reaction to her owner coming home from over seas. Her initial reaction was a shock and it doesn’t really hit her that he’s home until this video when he gets down to here level and she can really smell him. This is the wholesome reaction we all initially expected.

Matthew, a Marine, left for his first duty station in Japan for two years, leaving behind his beloved senior dog, Demi. He came home for a visit and Demi’s first reaction was not an expected one. Be sure to watch part two for a more wholesome reaction.

This video is part 2. Demi realizes her owner is home after being stationed overseas for two years. She gives him the reaction we all initially expected and hoped for. As in the first video she doesn’t recognize him...or maybe she did but had a lot to say. That’s for you to decide. Demi is a 10.5 year old wiener dog who lives in Texas with her owner's Sister while he is away in the military.
