Dachshunds, often referred to as wiener dogs, are known for their loving and devoted nature which has made them a popular pet breed in the U.S. Originally bred in Germany for hunting badgers and rabbits, these small but spirited dogs have since become beloved family pets. Their loyalty and affectionate disposition make them excellent companions, always eager to share moments of love and connection with their human families.

The breed is characterized by its long body, short legs, and expressive eyes. Dachshunds are renowned for their strong attachment to their owners and family members, and they can form particularly close bonds with one or two members of a family. They frequently showcase their affection through enthusiastic greetings, cuddles, and even territorial or protective behavior.

The viral post's viewers were able to see the tiny canine eagerly wagging her tail behind a ticket barrier at the bustling city train station. Her excitement became palpable as soon as she spotted her grandma, and unable to contain herself, the spirited pooch squeezed under the barrier, her tail wagging at lightning speed, to greet her beloved family member.

What followed was a touching moment of pure affection as the dachshund's grandma knelt down to hug and embrace the overjoyed dog she had been away from.

An overlaid text on the video read: "When you've not seen your grandma in too long."

The final shot of the video shows the miniature dachshund snuggling contentedly in her grandma's arms, a moment that has resonated deeply with viewers. The post has amassed over 443,000 likes to date.
