Prepare yourself for an emotional story that will tug at your heartstrings. A retired police dog was overwhelmed with emotion when he was reunited with his former handler, leading to tears of joy. Get ready to grab some tissues as you read about this heartwarming moment.
Meet Wang Wang, an 8-year-old German shepherd who serves as a sniffer dog at a security checkpoint located in Xichuan, Henan Province in central China. After retiring in June 2019, he will be bidding farewell to his agent and searching for his forever home where he can spend the rest of his life. Recently, one of his former managers, a police officer, decided to surprise him by visiting him while on patrol near his house. The heartwarming encounter was captured on video and shared on the Xichuan police Douyin account, which is the Chinese equivalent of TikTok. Witness Wang Wang’s adorable reaction as he greets his old friend outside his home.
Upon hearing the sound of his previous owner’s voice, Wang Wang hastily made his way out of the front door and found himself reuniting with his old agent. The dog couldn’t contain his excitement as he licked the legs of his beloved former owner and refused to leave his side, overcome with emotion.
After the patrol was done with their duty, Wang Wang, the loyal dog, wouldn’t let them leave and stayed by his manager’s side. In a message, it was mentioned how Wang Wang had greyed hair but was still filled with life. It’s never easy to bid farewell to friends. The touching union of the dedicated dog and his trainer melted the hearts of netizens who saw it happen.
“Treat your canine friends well as they are loyal companions,” stated one individual. Another person observed, “Wangwang seems to be longing for his handler.” The heartwarming reunion of the two has left some onlookers puzzled as to why the duo is not allowed to stay together.
According to Xichuan police, retired police dogs are usually well-fed during their training period. However, the officers cannot spend their time playing or exercising with these dogs once they retire. Therefore, the police department thinks that it is better for these dogs to be cared for at home rather than staying in a training facility.
