U.S. Soldier Welcomed Home by Two Miniature Schnauzers

“I surprised my two miniature schnauzers after coming home from my 12 month deployment in northern Afghanistan. Tucker (grey) is 4 years old and Abby (black) is 1-1/2 years old. Filmed by my wife Jennifer. We planned for the dogs to smell my bag and run towards the bedroom to look for me, and I was going to come through the front door and call them. But Tucker got too excited and found me!”
