A dog fainted with excitement when her owner returned after two years away.

Rebecca Ehalt wrote that her schnauzer's cataplexy was perhaps understandable considering her time away was “in fairness, 14 years in dog years.”

2. sound the dog makes freaks out all my dogs. Let your dogs listen.

I think the dog does have joy and happiness, mixed with a very painful stricture/spasm of some major artery like the aorta.

4. 'Animals don't have feelings,' huh? Love knows no boundaries.

5. We should all pass out

with such ecstatic joy at reuniting with a loved one.

Well, maybe not.

Cute video!

8. So glad the article stated the dog was taken to the vet to get checked out

It really scared me when she keeled over like that! But beyond that - giant lump in the throat! These dog reunion videos always reduce me to a blubbering mess.

9. my chihuahua weeps with joy

when my sons return from time away. especially the 30-year-old. but he hasn't fainted yet. i'm all weepy now. dogs give true unconditional love.

11. For a second, I thought you were saying the chihuahua was 30.

[barbtries]

12. in dog years

he's closer to 70; but no, it's my son who's 30.

13. My Chihuahua goes crazy even if I have been out of house for even an hour.

When I come back in, she acts as if I had been gone for a year. Yes, I am all weepy too. I love all dogs, and yes, there is no love like a dog's love.

10. Very touching.

A doggie's love is complete and unconditional!

PEACE!
