“We recently took a trip to reunite Bullet with his owner, and the moment was pure joy. Bullet couldn’t stop jumping with excitement and his owner was overwhelmed with gratitude,” the SPCA said.

A video shared by the SPCA on Facebook shows the special moment Bullet and his owner locked eyes and ran to each other for what was surely a long-awaited reunion between the bestest of friends!

The proud and evidently grateful dog dad thanked the Garden Route SPCA for their amazing dedication and lifesaving work in bringing his furry companion back home.

The animal welfare team also came bearing gifts, delivering some dog food and a soft bed to help give this brave boy the comfort he deserves after everything he’s been through.

“This is the kind of happy ending that keeps us going,” the SPCA said.
