Videos of dogs greeting their owners back from war

In honor of the veterans this Veteran’s Day, Mental Floss has compiled a number of videos of dogs excitedly greeting their owners back from war. It is quite possibly the most wholesome and tear-jerking list of videos I’ve ever come across. Mental Floss hit gold with this entry and I’m going to go ahead and call it their best yet.

Victor Dubrovsky’s needle felted animals are a real treat to look at. They are so cute! [via]

For now, it looks like the ones on his website are all sold out, but you can subscribe to his site and be notified of new felt creations when they surface and then you can contact him to purchase them. I would love a whole shelf full of these things.
