A dog its owners were forced to give up walked roughly 5 miles (8 kilometers) on its own to return to its former owner’s arms — a story so cinematic it has moved many people online.

Recently, posts in various online communities have revived the heartfelt account of a puppy that was rehomed and, within days, found its way back to its original home.

A’s parents had raised the dog in a greenhouse for about a year and a half. Facing difficult circumstances, they reluctantly rehomed the animal to another town.

Not long after, while working in the greenhouse, the mother heard a familiar cry outside.

She rushed out and found the puppy they had sent away just days before, filthy with dust and mud. The moment it saw her, it wagged its tail, burrowed into her arms and began to sob.

They later learned the dog had been rehomed about 5 miles (8 kilometers) from their home. As a young adult, it apparently walked back across unfamiliar and rough terrain driven by one clear goal: to reunite with its family. The state of its paws and coat suggested a hard journey.

The parents hugged the dog tightly, apologized through tears, bathed it in warm water and vowed never to let it go again.

Now reunited, the dog is reportedly back with its family and enjoying a happier life than ever before.
