Weeks turned into months, and finally, the Brooks family got the call that they have been waiting for so long. Matthew was finally coming home! On June 29, 2020, Matthew was scheduled to arrive at 1:30 in the morning. His family was excited, and the kids did not go to bed so that they could meet their dad when he arrives.
Since Matthew’s arrival was in the early morning, they decided to surprise their two Golden Retrievers who were also heartbroken from Matthew’s delayed homecoming. When they got home, they led the two dogs outside on what they thought was a midnight bathroom break.
Little did the dogs know, there was a surprise waiting for them. The dogs excitedly ran outside the house. When they realized who was waiting for them in the yard, they rushed towards Matthew giving him hugs and kisses. It was an emotional moment for Matthew and his dogs, proving that they share a strong bond.
