| As a young Afghanistan soldier is enthusiastically welcomed home, one member of his family is overcome with emotion and excitement--his beloved pet dog. The heartwarming video of the soldier´s welcome from his deliriously happy pup has gone viral. The dog, called Jasmine, which looks like a black and tan Hovawart, can´t contain her excitement on seeing her owner who was in Afghanistan for a year. As the newly-returned soldier, known only as Josh enters a garage to greet the dog --her reaction is crazy. Howling and barking, Jasmine, bounds over to him, jumping wildly up onto his uniform, trying

I love these videos. People who think our pets don´t really love us - well, think again. It´s a great way to warm up a cold Monday morning.

I can understand that there are many people who don´t want to own a dog. But I will never understand that there are many people who don´t like dogs. I couldn´t marry someone who doesn´t like dogs.

Dogs are a lot of care and work but they reward their owners with so much love and companionship that I could not imagine life without a dog.

I get that treatment everyday when I get home from work! Dogs require attention. Unlike a cat, you cant take off for the weekend and leave the dog alone at home with extra food to fend for themselves. You cant just leave out extra food in the morning and come home late from work. If you own a dog, your social life and out of the house activities may very well suffer or revolve around your dog. And I wouldnt have it any other way. No one will love you more than your dog. And if that´s not the case, YOU are probably doing something wrong.
Welcome home soldier! And thank you for your service.

I love these types of clips. Every one of them brings a tear to my eye - of joy. Dogs know how to greet someone. People - take a lesson!

Hey, my cat waits for me by the door every day to come home. She is happy to see me.
And yes, I love dogs too.

Dogs truly are amazing, love filled animals. If we greeted each otehr the way dogs greet us when we come home, we would find our lives far more enriched. Our little chihuahua is like this when we come back home from shopping, Dr. visits or eating out. He never lets us down. And, it is not simple animal instinct of rejoining the pack- it is true joy and love. When wife has to go to hospital for a few days, he goes into an absolute state of depression- won´t eat or play until she comes home again. Yes, it is true emotion and no one will ever convince me otherwise. God bless this soldier! And, if Heaven does not have dogs, too bad for heaven- it is missing tremendous joy.

We have four house dogs. I said I would never have one but now that we have four, I realize how wrong I was. Each of them has a different personality but each one is loving and happy to see us whenever we return. It is a lot of work to keep the house clean with these guys but it is worth it.

If spouses would greet each other like this, there would be fewer divorces. /s
Somehow, I don´t think Bo greets Stinky this way. Dogs sense those who hate them.

A has had his own cat for about three years now. She chose him, not the other way around. I know when A is about five minutes out because his cat walks to the door, sits and waits. No, he doesn´t come home at the same time every day--I do believe she hears his car several streets over.
When he opens the door she bounces all over the room, fluffy tail waving like a circus horse. Does the same thing when he gets up of a morning.

My son came home from Iraq to have his German Shepard sitting on him for 3 days. He said he finally had to leave the house to get out from under her. Dogs know who their people are!

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps

A heroin addict father smokes the deadly drug contentedly as his two innocent children sit watching him adoringly. The oblivious man is part of a growing epidemic in the war-torn country of Afghanistan, which has seen the number of opium and heroin addicts tripling to 150,000, according to latest United Nations Figures, while 225,000 used the drug in 2012. In a country with a population 35million, there are now more than 1m addicts of one drug or another. It represents a major problem for the country, which produces 90 percent of all opiates in the world. Until recently

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state
