The clip, which has over 11 million views, begins with the words, “Boy reunited with one year lost dog” displayed over a shot of an adorable pug eagerly waiting in the front seat of a car parked in front of a school.

Wearing a collar of celebratory bows, the pug suddenly turns its head to peer out the window.

“Piper! Who’s that? Who’s that?” a voice from behind the camera trills as a young boy approaches the vehicle.

Upon seeing his dog, the boy stops dead in his tracks and bursts into tears. While he runs to the back of the car to drop off his backpack, the dog’s tail is wagging so fast it looks like it could take flight. Their blissful moment of recognition is palpable. The boy rushes to his long-lost pug, and a tearful homecoming ensues.
