You probably don’t remember meeting your best (human) friend for the first time. But nothing can erase the memory of seeing your dog the instant it became an irreplaceable part of your life.

The same goes for these over-the-top happy pet keepers who were caught on tape seeing their puppers the first time they got the chance to pet them. Whether they were adopted or gifted, these little bundles of joy seem to explode in the hearts of their new, caring friends.

There is a special bond between people and their dogs. Some call it friendship, others name it a dependency. These next photos and videos show that it is pure love at first sight.

If you are up for some heartwarming, eye-watering images scroll down and feel your soul melt into an ocean of emotion.

Caution! After seeing this post, your next visit might be to the nearest dog shelter!
