A heartwarming moment captured on camera shows the tearful reunion of a ᴛᴇᴀʀɪɴɢ-up ʀᴇᴛɪʀᴇᴅ ᴘᴏʟɪᴄᴇ dog and her former partner. Wangwang, an eight-year-old Gᴇʀᴍᴀɴ sʜᴇᴘʜᴇʀᴅ, served as a sɴɪꜰꜰᴇʀ dog at sᴇᴄᴜʀɪᴛʏ ᴄʜᴇᴄᴋᴘᴏɪɴᴛs in Xichuan county, located in Henan province, central Cʜɪɴᴀ. In June 2019, after retiring, she ᴡᴀs ᴀᴅᴏᴘᴛᴇᴅ by a loving family, leading to the separation of Wangwang and her handler.
Despite the separation, the ᴘᴏʟɪᴄᴇ handler decided to surprise Wangwang with a visit. In the heartwarming clip, the ᴘᴏʟɪᴄᴇ officer can be seen outside Wangwang’s new home, playfully calling for her.
As soon as Wangwang realizes who is waiting for her, she excitedly rushes out of the front door to greet her old friend. She runs up to him and immediately lies on the floor, seeking cuddles. While rubbing up against the ᴘᴏʟɪᴄᴇ officer’s legs, Wangwang lets out a heartfelt cry. This heartwarming video was shared on Xichuan Pᴏʟɪᴄᴇ’s Douyin account, the Cʜɪɴᴇsᴇ version of TikTok, and viewers couldn’t help but be moved by the emotional reunion of this adorable dog.
When it’s time for the patrol unit to head back to their ᴘᴏʟɪᴄᴇ vehicle, Wangwang refuses to let them go and sits right by her handler. She continues rubbing against his legs and appears to tear up, cherishing the precious moment.
The post caption reads: “Wangwang’s hair is turning white, but she is well-fed and getting a little chubby. Saying goodbye to your buddy is never easy.” Viewers were deeply touched by the emotional reunion of this lovable companion. One viewer commented, “The dog is welling up. Dogs are really loyal companions, please treat her well!” Another viewer wrote, “You can tell how much Wangwang misses her handler. You can understand when the dog greets you belly up.”
Some viewers wondered why Wangwang was separated from her clearly attached handler. Xichuan ᴘᴏʟɪᴄᴇ responded in the comments, saying, “Although ᴘᴏʟɪᴄᴇ dogs are generally well-fed at the training center, our officers are unable to dedicate their time to play or exercise with ʀᴇᴛɪʀᴇᴅ dogs. They will be better cared for in a loving family than staying at the training center.” This touching moment truly showcases the loyalty and goodness of dogs.
