We often underestimate how deeply dogs remember and cherish the people who helped them through their toughest moments. For rescue pups, foster families can provide the first real glimpse of comfort, love, and security they’ve ever known. These bonds can last a lifetime, and sometimes, resurface years later in the most heartwarming ways. A recently shared video captures a rescue Pit Bull enjoying a touching reunion with the foster mom who changed his life seven years ago.
Owner documents rescue Pit Bull’s adorable reunion with foster mom in video
Harvey, a Pit Bull rescued from a shelter seven years ago, recently had a reunion with the foster mom who once saved him. Though many years have passed, Harvey clearly remembers the woman who gave him a second chance. In a video shared by his current owner, Harvey is seen climbing onto the couch and peeking through the window as his former foster mom arrives outside. The text overlay reads, “Your stranger reactive dog reunites with his foster mom that saved him from the shelter 7 years ago.”
The moment is filled with joy and excitement. Harvey whines happily, wags his tail vigorously, and leaps toward her as soon as they meet. The two share a series of affectionate gestures as she pets and scratches him, while the pup leans in to soak up every bit of attention from her. In return, Harvey showers her with kisses and even rubs against her, clearly thrilled to see a familiar and cherished face. For anyone watching, it’s a scene that captures the pure joy and love between a dog and a human who once changed his life.
In the caption, Harvey’s owner advises fellow dog parents to maintain contact with their pet’s foster caregivers whenever possible. “It’s so worth it,” she writes. Fans and fellow dog enthusiasts quickly took to the comments to share their thoughts. One wrote, “As a foster mom, nothing in this world makes me happier than getting updates about my former foster puppies.”
Another added, “That’s the bond that will never fade,” while a third called the video “the best ad for fostering.” Others noted the powerful reminder the video provides, with one viewer adding, “This is a great reminder of why I foster, there’s adopters like you out there.”
