A delighted dog's reaction of relief on finding its lost owner has gone viral in a TikTok video which shows the pet running around a park in a panic, searching everywhere.

The touching reunion left viewers emotional, many commenting on the loyalty and affection that dogs consistently show.

The video, by @sunnysideup_nocheese, shows the coton de Tulear pup's anxious predicament before it sees its owner and sprints toward them.

Footage initially shows the pup happily playing in the park, its tail wagging with excitement. But the mood quickly shifts as the dog suddenly realizes it cannot see its owner. The dog's demeanor changes from carefree to visibly distressed as it looks around.

This moment of distress lasts only a few seconds, until the video reaches its emotional peak when the owner steps back into view, calling out to the dog.

The instant recognition and relief on the dog's face are plain to see as it runs back to its owner, tail wagging furiously and jumping into their arms.

Taking your dog to the park is an important step in their daily routine. The PDSA, a leading veterinary charity, explains that dogs require a significant amount of exercise daily to maintain their physical and mental health. According to their guidelines, the amount of exercise a dog needs depends on its breed, age, and health.

For instance, active breeds such as Border Collies and Labradors may need up to two hours or more of exercise daily, while smaller or older dogs might need less. Regular exercise not only keeps dogs physically fit but also helps prevent behavioral problems caused by boredom and pent-up energy.

Coton de Tulears thrive on companionship and leaving them alone for long periods can lead to separation anxiety.

Activities such as walking, running, playing fetch, and socializing with other dogs are beneficial. This aspect of a dog's care is essential for their overall well-being, as shown in the video where the dog is seen enjoying its time at the park before the momentary distress.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 1.6 million views and 163,600 likes on the platform.

One user, Rey, commented: "I swear he was looking everywhere but at you, poor thing."

Meeeeko said: "Ain't it crazy sometime you think dogs don't know anything, but then this happens...they know who we are!!!"

The Life of Shai added: "lol when the other dogs was chancing her she looking at them like 'I'm not trying to play I'm looking for my mother"
