Dog recognises owner via video chat after nine months apart

Is someone cutting onions in here?

Because we've watching this video of a dog reuniting with her owner via video chat, and for some reason our eyes are getting watery.

Venezuelan woman Oriany De Oliveria has been away from her beloved border collie Layla for nine months as she works in Argentina.

But when Oriany's mother set up a video chat to speak with her daughter, Layla recognised her immediately.

Layla bounded around, barked enthusiastically and stood on her hind legs as Oriany wiped away tears.

"It's amazing how you remember me," Oriany captioned her Instagram video.

"I MISS YOU SO MUCH."

The video is tinged with sadness because Oriany and Layla can't embrace.

"It felt good that's she recognised me, but I also got a little sad because I could see how much she was missing me," Oriany told The Dodo.

Oriany said she is hoping to come back home soon.

Here's hoping somebody films that reunion.
