Forget about grand romantic gestures in movies. The real drama is happening at an Amsterdam park with a very excited pup named Tequila. A senior dog reuniting with her grandpa is the ultimate definition of true love. In this video from the Instagram account @thesmilingblonde, fans are watching this twelve-year-old prove that distance only makes the heart grow fonder. She spent a whole week away from her favorite person, and her reaction is everything. While the account usually features fashion, this heartwarming reunion is stealing the spotlight right now.
Senior dog’s one true love is grandpa, so she runs across the park after seeing him
The video starts with Tequila standing on the grass, completely locked onto a figure in the distance. Her tail starts wagging at high speed as she realizes exactly who is standing across the canal. Then this senior dog proves her true love for grandpa by sprinting across the park. She takes off instantly, prancing around the edge of the water with so much energy that she becomes a blur.
She makes the happiest leaps to reach the other side as fast as possible. Terriers are mostly known to be devoted to their family members, which explains their frantic pace. She reaches her favorite person in seconds and immediately begins circling his legs in pure joy. He bends over to give her sweet pats while she bounces around him like a puppy. She even throws in a quick spin to show how much she missed him.
It is impossible not to smile while watching it. The music choice somehow makes the whole thing even sweeter, too. The clip uses the famous music from the 2005 Pride and Prejudice scene where Mr. Darcy walks across the field toward Elizabeth Bennet, which feels oddly perfect for this reunion.
This one just has a much fluffier protagonist. Hundreds of people have already liked the clip because of how genuine her excitement feels. And it feels safe to say her week of waiting was totally worth the reward and the scritches.
