Category: rescue dog recognizes new mom by instinct

An animal rescue captures the moment one of their rescue dogs meets their new forever family, and it’s nothing but heartwarming and beautiful.

The Sato Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing abused and abandoned dogs in Puerto Rico, shares the moment when Jasper, one of their rescue dog, finally meets his family at the airport.

On October 29, the animal rescue posted the video on Instagram with the caption, “Jasper knew exactly who he was meeting at the airport yesterday.”

The video shows Jasper immediately warming up to his new mom, giving her kisses and hugging her.

“Sometimes rescue dogs can tell who they’re going home with forever,” the Sato Project wrote.

The video has now garnered over 200,000 likes on Instagram and had Instagram users in tears over the heartwarming moment.

One user left a comment saying, “They choose us, it’s that simple. I would never have chosen a high energy dog, but he chose me. That loyalty makes me get up before dawn everyday. I’d have missed a thousand sunrises otherwise.”
