I have been finding you max and OCCY. I did see Lee with eamon and bec and see a dog like occy there and then visited max and lee and its a different guy now that is in there. Cheers man. Life must go on. Your best buddy is with you. I have been following max and lee before because of OCCY. Dog lover here.
@@MaxandOccy Yes-Yes-Yes . . . although did not ever see him in our land just knowing he was here so much over the years and adored 'beyond' any other doggo will fill my heart 4ever. Soooo glad for 'your' heart of hearts Max . . . 10 months truly must have felt like 2 years...of that I am sure. We looooove you both and looking forward to adventures to come. Be safe . . . take time with 'the' Occster, but please be mindful of proceeding with a fast weight loss plan for him. I don't know what happens in those holding places, but he surely was not exercised as needed.
@@MaxandOccy When Max jumped in your new van a few hours ago i think he thought Lee was there as well, like shared custody when he was in CANADA no matter what she loved him and took the best care of Max as did HER family, he loved it there he was mesmerized by the SNOW thought he was a Husky, He has had the best of both Worlds, again so happy for you
This is soo cool. I had a stint nursing in Aussie for a while, leaving my border collie at home in New Zealand and I was away from josh for 8 months, I missed him so much and my reunion was going to be at the airport the night I got home, he was to be waiting in the car at the airport for when I got off the plane. I was so excited to see him and as soon as I came through the arrivals I said to my b friend is josh in the car, did you bring him and the look in his eyes I will never forget. My heart sunk, his said he’s not here, he is dead, I am so sorry. I collapsed. Josh had unfortunately died that morning, he had put his paws up on the gate and somehow got his collar caught in the gate, freaking out he panicked and flipped himself in a circle, strangling himself. My heart broke…. So it warms my heart to see this beautiful reunion. RIP joshy I love you boy x ❤
Lee did take great care of him, my heart is so happy for Max and so sad for Lee. Occy is truly lucky to have had all the journey's he has had and all the love thats been poured onto him, it shows! He is pure joy!
Just watched this today 20/03/24, cried the moment you started to tell us you were picking up Occy, brought back memories of my dog being shipped overseas. biggest of hugs.
OH MAX & OCCY.... HAVEN'T CRIED LIKE THIS IN A VERY LONG TIME, PROBABLY NEEDED IT...BEEN WAITING WITH YOU MAX... NO WORDS, THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE...OCCY WAGGING HIS TAIL.... HE KNOWS THAT HE IS BACK WITH HIS NUMBER ONE LOVE...AND YOU HAVE YOUR BEST FRIEND BACK...... THANKS TO LEE FOR HER LOVE AND CARE... 🐕🐕.....OCCY IS HOME......🐕🐕 ALL IS GOOD....
I finally understood why you were alone these days. It was because of COVID. I didn't know it because my English was poor. I’m really happy this reunion. Love, from Japan.
I started watching your channel when your life hit the fan. And your not having Occy, I couldn't even imagine. And then in July and August I lost both of my two dachshunds to old age. 3 weeks apart. It has been devastating. Being alone, without anyone here with me, especially my boys now has been a really big adjustment. To see you two reunited has truly warmed my heart. Give Occy some extra loves from those of us who lost our fur-babies. I am sure Lee is missing him too now. Enjoy your time together.
@@lawsonmadden4635 yes, I am doing ok. Slowly I am recovering my heart. Although I am alone in the house, I have wonderful friends as a good support system. Thanks for your kind words!
I lost my little girl, Missi, three months ago. She was 13-1/2 and my love. Your videos with Occy have brought me laughter and tears. I can’t imagine how you bared being without him, separated by seas and during a pandemic, for so long. Your reunion was priceless. Your love for one another will transcend future departures. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You’re a gentle soul.
Dogs can really change your life. I was depressed after my father,s death then one day we bought a labrador puppy home and named him Oskar.He not only help me and my family to fight depression but now today is also a reason for our daily smiles.
🥰I was emotional when you drove through the gates leaving the farm but totally lost it 😭when I heard him bark. I had to watch twice because it was hard to see through my tears. An it’s not like I haven’t seen Occy because I’ve been watching him on Eamon & Bec. I just LOVE your best friend Occy 😍🥰
That’s a long time to wait and so glad you have your best friend back! Today am waiting for Vet to call regarding blood work for Noodle (cat), she says he’s in kidney failure. He & I were moving across country. That would have been the third state he had lived in. Give Occy a belly rub for me.
Was just about to go out when this popped up. Here with my tissues waiting .... Ok, I cried 😂. So good to see you two back together again. Made my day. I can go out now with a big smile on my face. 😁
It takes a special kinda person to be able to care for your "Ex's" dog, however I feel like this was just as hard for Lee to have to say good bye to Occy. She's spent several yrs with him as well. A part of Lee's heart will always be with Occy and vice versa for him..
@@michellebenfield9953 Yes of course, she cares about Occy a lot, I just meant that ex's are not always on good terms but in this case Occy was a "shared" dog for a long time so a bond is very obvious
@Nina I wasn't meaning my comment in a negative way or connotation, I just was agreeing that Lee is the best kinda of person for doing this.. I don't know too many people who would honestly!! Either way I'm just glad Occys home with his best pal😘
Can’t stop smiling!! Definitely know a bit of what you went thru apart - I was in hospital for 4 months, apart from my beautiful black Labrador - when I got home I am bedridden 24/7 now but she’s learnt how to jump from my chair to my hospital bed I have at home so we can still snuggle and I have missed that so much Hugs to you both, thank you for sharing and making me smile (ok teary too but hell mate, what you expect? Hehehe ) Anne, Sydney, Australia
I know that feel My cat Boobear was a kitten at the time and I was in the hospital for a bit I thought he was going to forget about me so I begged and begged my husband to bring him in for visit bc he was super small and slept most the time! I mean i pulled out the punches Boo was 6 weeks old and I was like he wont remember i am mommy lol. Andrew (hubby) bless his heart brought him in for the remaining time and it lifts your spirits and he took him home after I slept for the night. When I finally left Bc I had a private room the doc and nurse said they knew but Boo made my spirits better and in hosp thats important!❤🐾🐾❤
There were a few times I felt afraid that this reunion might not happen, bcz of all of the uncertainty in the world. This reunion and the video, as you always have been able to do, has spread joy and hope to thousands of people you have never met. I am so grateful for your heart and willingness to share it, and your life, with all of us. Thank you Max!
And as you know more than most Rixanne, this reunion almost didn’t happen. I am just so happy things have finally worked out and that I was able to share the joy with you all. We all know there hasn’t been enough good news stories this year. Thank you for the kind words and all the love and support you have shown me over the years ❤️❤️❤️
Max What a happy day, been following you forever. My best Bud a male German Shepherd passed away back June, but I found another 12 month old Shepherd that needed a new home as bad as I needed a new friend. So we begin a new life journal together.
I'm hugging my Aussies, watching the reunion with tears of happiness pouring out of my eyes. This has been a tough year and if I didn't have my fur babies I don't think I would have made it. Occy is my favorite traveling dog. I know that Lee will miss him but I'm so happy that Max is not alone anymore.
This made me cry 😭 Honestly Occy’s excitement was everything, my goodness! Max - you’re so so freakin’ strong to be able to handle 10 months of set backs and flight delays, I truly don’t know how you did it, but you’re amazing. I truly can’t wait to see more future videos with Occy in them! Enjoy your time together again! I hope you take a good couple of weeks off to enjoy Occy’s company again, you both well and truly deserve it! 😌
Youre very resilient Max, a great quality you may need from time to time, cheers! Glad you’re reunited with Occy, now he an help you heal as you go forward🌏🍻🔑☮️💕💕
I am just seeing this today, 4 years later....before I even started my long journey with long covid...this cry exactly what I needed today! Still pretty isolated but hanging in there. Thanks for lifting me up today!
Still get so upset watching, Max and Occy, i never knew Lee but for sure she touched our lives just as you both have. Max your a cool dude and Occy is such a cool mate. Best wishes to you both forever . 👍👍
Best way to start my day....Occy is finally home where he should be with his best friend! A boy and his dog, you just can't beat that combo....no matter how old that boy is!
God that was so emotional...are grown men allowed tears? So stoked ( is that Aussie speak?) for you mate and look forward to more adventures with you and Ocky.
He has also been in a pen/cage for awhile. My dog showed the effects of inactivity while he was recovering from an ACC injury. The extra weight came off quickly when he was allowed to run around again.
@@eileenmccarthy7392 Yeah, it’s not a sign of being well cared for, it’s inactivity. I’m sure Lee wouldn’t over feed him while in her care. She would know it was unhealthy for him.
As an Aussie owner also, I can tell he's got his Canadian coat and you'll see practically another dogs worth of undercoat fur coming off him in the next few months......
Max never said Lee had not been taking good care of Occy, he has always praised Lee for the taking such good care of Occy so please don’t read into things that haven’t even been said, Max is respectful, kind with a gentle nature I can’t see him being the kind of person that makes digs at his ex and I’m sure I’m not alone in that view
Yah Occy, I'm so happy for you mate. As a dog walker I know the bond you form with your furry four legged buddies. Enjoy everything now that he's home.
I was crying before you even got there. Occy understood the van but it definitely registered that it was different. Then he just kept staring at you like he couldn’t believe it was you and real. No, he doesn’t miss a beat but he was definitely in shock that it was you. May you never be separated again ❤️
That dedication at the end hit home for me. I lost my best dog friend that year and also was a working nurse ( now retired ) that was very difficult time for so many people. Not sure how long I have been following your journey but I just ran across this video. I am team occy 😊 Thanks for the cry. ❤
Oh man 😭😭😭.. the footage and that music together... I'm so happy you have your best mate back!! I'm looking forward to your future videos together 🥰🥰🥰😭😭🥰🥰
OMG this brought tears of joy. The look on your face after you had been with Occy for a bit getting back to your place was so priceless. Yes it is obvious that a Ballance was restored. I have been without a dog now since 2017 and am looking to change that this year but am finding it a challenge as there is quite the waitlist with breeders here in the USA. I am looking at getting another shetland sheepdog to replace my late Pumpkin. Several Australian sheepdogs have crossed my path though lately so maybe a sign of change is a brewing. We will see. Thank you for sharing this video reunion with us. Peace.
Good point. Though I did notice a time or two when my screen jumped and I missed the like button, caught and corrected it. One can only think that it is was because they wanted Lee to keep the dog. But, it was not her dog. It is a pity she did not have one of her own....taking care of another being matters. Safe travels to these two. RIP to Lee. Condolences to Lee’s family and friends, and especially to Max and Occy.
Yep crying here! So sweet! He was about to wag his tail off! You could tell he was like Dad’s here so let’s get in the van & go! Wish I could give you a million likes! My heart is so full Max! I know yours is bursting!
CRYING happy tears! Occy looks wonderful! So glad to see you guys together. Enjoy being back together. I can’t imagine going through. Breakup without my two pups. ETA: hugs to Lee. She had to be ugly-crying when she said goodbye to Occy, and sent him home.
Mate, watching this in my hammock tonight, my cattledog x with me, snuggled at the end and head resting on my legs like it's his hammock, yep I feel ya, heartstrings tugged 💕❣️🐾 **yep, hit repeat...
My dog has kept me going for the past two years as I have had a lot to deal with. Our fur puppies really are the best medicine. My little Jack Russell will be turning 18 this August.
Crying here in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 !!! That was pure happiness !!! I have a mini Australian shepherd LUNA !! Enjoy each day together still crying here !!!! Happy tears !!!🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️🐶🐶
Wow I've been anticipating Occy's arrival home...it was FANTASTIC!!! As much as it has been a really hard year emotionally you know Occy has been loved throughout! Now time for you both to embrace your summer and your adventures together again...so happy for you both💓💓
People often say "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree", to be meaning that a child will grow up to be like their parent. Watching Occy in the videos, it's incredibly evident that "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree". Glad your baby is back where he belongs. Sending you both much needed healing thoughts at a time you need it most. Sorry about your loss.
So glad hes back home and with his dad! Thanks again to Lee for being the best and caring for him so immensely! What a great day ! The tears are flowing
Max I am so elated that your so happy. I cannot speak any words ..my eyes are full of happy tears. I want to thank you for your dedication of this episode to all who have had a tough year, and more. I certainly fit into that category. You are a legend, and always stay strong. I'm here for ya mate. Give the King a squeeze from uncle Jay.❤🐶🙏
That dedication and sign off hits different now. But thanks to Max and Occy for the happy tears. It’s nice to replace the sad tears for a little while. 💙
I took my dog with me for 10 years except only one night and that because I didn’t know the Hilton Hotel accepted dogs. I miss him. Seeing you with Occy, I can appreciate how you feel
SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, HAPPY!! Made my week Max. I cannot imagine what it must be like to live without your mate for so long. I lost mine in sept 2019 and crumbled mentally until I got the reincarnation of him in our girl Luna in December 2019. They're such an integral part of our mental health and although I've had such a tough year too, I know yours has been much worse and to see this......well let's just say that I need to go and rehydrate because I've just cried myself into a prune!! Much love to you both and can't wait for your new adventures from the Liz & Skatz channel xxxx
I just found your channel and I’m over here in tears because this was my story 9 months ago as well. I went through a divorce in the states in February 20 and the only thing I walked away with was ownership of my two dogs. I got a job in Scotland right as the pandemic kicked off - my dogs couldn’t come with me before the borders closed in March 20, so my parents kindly kept them for me until I could get them back in August 20. After a lot of waiting, paperwork and one majorly failed attempt, they made it to Scotland and are loving life in the outdoors here. The reunion moment - my goodness, there is nothing like it. You seem to have such a big heart and I’m so glad you were able to be reunited with your best mate. ❤️
Finally!!! This reunion made my day, tears and all!!! 😭💕😁 A person with their dog, it’s a beautiful thing! Wishing you both many more happy adventures together! 🐾🦶🏻
Australian Shepherds are the greatest dog breed ever. I've had 2 of them. I won't own another breed. They all have similar traits. My Aussie Shepherd is my therapist
I should have grabbed tissues before watching. I am sure you must feel relieved and happy to get your buddy back. ❤️ Van completed. Your dog is back. Now on to new adventures
I have an ESA for my PTSD. I know what It's like when you're without your pet. I understood it when you said that balance has been restored. I'm so glad that you two have been reunited. I'm glad that you'll be getting him back to his original weight. Being a vet tech I can tell you that excess weight is not good. Though, you can tell that he's been well loved.
I started crying when you pulled up.It took three times watching to stop crying.My Heart ❤️ is so Full of Love 💕 for you Both.My Heart ❤️ is Freckles a Australia Cattle Dog. She is Black and White. I can not one day Live with out Her. God Bless Max and Occy . THE KING
Oh, happy day happy day. ❤️❤️ Why am I crying? Looks like they took great care of him. When I picked my cat up from q he was a mess. Gosh, he is so pretty. Still crying. ❤️
What a beautiful reunion. Loved seeing you two reunited. He does look a little chubby. That just means he’s a happy boy and has been well taken care of.
This video should be called “Try not to cry for 8 minutes”.
Welcome home Occy!! ❤️❤️
Or "you will cry for 8 minutes" 😭💙😭
Yeah...I cried, and I'm not sorry either. lol
Not a dry eye in the house!
thats exactly what I was thinking.... i literally cried the entire 8 mins and 50 seconds .. lol I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
i failed X
I’m not crying you’re crying 😭
❤️❤️❤️
Seriously, cried through the entire thing.
Tears started rolling with the title and opening words. Yes, things do get better.
(Particularly with good election results ... !)
Happy tears❣️Occy you are beautiful!
@@beckypincalifornia1985 can't wait till the toddler leaves the House!
That lady must have the most satisfying job ever - watching animals reunite with their owners...
No longer alone. Occy is cuteness legend. Just look at that little man❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Don’t you love a guy who really loves his dog💕💕💕
absolutely! you can judge the character of a man by the way he treats animals
max is one of life's good guys ❤️
Nothing better than when a man gets his best friend back.
Agreed 🙌🏼
This is legend 😍🕺🐶

Life must go on. Your best buddy is with you. I have been following max and lee before because of OCCY. Dog lover here.
Canada is going to miss Occy, but this reunion is beautiful!
I think Oc is always going to be part Canadian shepherd as well from here on out x

We looooove you both and looking forward to adventures to come.
Be safe . . . take time with 'the' Occster, but please be mindful of proceeding
with a fast weight loss plan for him. I don't know what happens in those holding places, but he surely was not exercised as needed.

I would say the world is is Occy again!!!!
@@loucollazo4931 haha love that!!!! 👏👏😁
This made me cry, I know its a few years old and they are now in the rain forest, but any dog owner would understand the bond between these 2 ❤❤

This video just made me burst into tears, dogs are the most precious thing
They are the absolute best Claire 🙌🏼
only if you train them they are worth.
I cried through the whole thing. A human and their dog are best buds.
Lee took good care of him. I'm glad to see him home.

She did indeed!
Well. Apparently not only Lee but also Jazzmyn and Krystal and adventured to the Grand Canyon.

Thank you for the kind words and all the love and support you have shown me over the years ❤️❤️❤️
Max What a happy day, been following you forever. My best Bud a male German Shepherd passed away back June, but I found another 12 month old Shepherd that
needed a new home as bad as I needed a new friend. So we begin a new life journal together.
When Occy saw you and stopped barking....
😭
I'm hugging my Aussies, watching the reunion with tears of happiness pouring out of my eyes. This has been a tough year and if I didn't have my fur babies I don't think I would have made it. Occy is my favorite traveling dog. I know that Lee will miss him but I'm so happy that Max is not alone anymore.

Not just allowed but encouraged mate! I definitely shed a few off camera.
Cheers matey 🙏🏼
Stoked is “surfer” speak in the states. 😎✌️🤙🤘😎
He is chubby because Lee fed him and loved him. He was well taken care of.
He has also been in a pen/cage for awhile. My dog showed the effects of inactivity while he was recovering from an ACC injury. The extra weight came off quickly when he was allowed to run around again.
@@eileenmccarthy7392 Yeah, it’s not a sign of being well cared for, it’s inactivity. I’m sure Lee wouldn’t over feed him while in her care. She would know it was unhealthy for him.
As an Aussie owner also, I can tell he's got his Canadian coat and you'll see practically another dogs worth of undercoat fur coming off him in the next few months......
@@timogrgic3693 He is going to be really hot under there. Must be like wearing a fur coat in the summer
Max never said Lee had not been taking good care of Occy, he has always praised Lee for the taking such good care of Occy so please don’t read into things that haven’t even been said, Max is respectful, kind with a gentle nature I can’t see him being the kind of person that makes digs at his ex and I’m sure I’m not alone in that view
Yah Occy, I'm so happy for you mate. As a dog walker I know the bond you form with your furry four legged buddies. Enjoy everything now that he's home.
You can nver love some one as much as a dog loves you so good to see occy back at home
As a doggy dad, I cant understand how you felt being away from Occy for all that time. Im so happy that you and Occy are reunited. Thank
Every dog has his day. Welcome home Occy Mate.
I was crying before you even got there.
Occy understood the van but it definitely registered that it was different. Then he just kept staring at you like he couldn’t believe it was you and real. No, he doesn’t miss a beat but he was definitely in shock that it was you.
May you never be separated again ❤️
That dedication at the end hit home for me. I lost my best dog friend that year and also was a working nurse ( now retired ) that was very difficult time for so many people. Not sure how long I have been following your journey but I just ran across this video. I am team occy 😊 Thanks for the cry. ❤
Animals loves are unconditionally ♡ happy for you
I’m not crying, I’m not crying yep I did, I miss my dog everyday and know the feeling. Your biggest friend is home. Enjoy every day intense together
Oh man 😭😭😭.. the footage and that music together... I'm so happy you have your best mate back!! I'm looking forward to your future videos together 🥰🥰🥰😭😭🥰🥰
OMG, crying my eyes out. How long have we all been waiting for this reunion?!
So happy for you!
Wish you all the best and a beautiful summer!
Almost a year!
Right! Thank you Chrissi ❤️
Occy won't bail mate.
He only sticks with one man.
All the best bro.👍👍
Dave 2D predicted it.
Welcome Home.👍
OMG this brought tears of joy. The look on your face after you had been with Occy for a bit getting back to your place was so priceless. Yes it is obvious that a Ballance was restored. I have been without a dog now since 2017 and am looking to change that this year but am finding it a challenge as there is quite the waitlist with breeders here in the USA. I am looking at getting another shetland sheepdog to replace my late Pumpkin. Several Australian sheepdogs have crossed my path though lately so maybe a sign of change is a brewing. We will see. Thank you for sharing this video reunion with us. Peace.
Who on earth thumbed this down? Best video ever, I'm a blubbering mess, this was such a beautiful and anticipated reunion 🐕🐶💖
Good point. Though I did notice a time or two when my screen jumped and I missed the like button, caught and corrected it. One can only think that it is was because they wanted Lee to keep the dog. But, it was not her dog. It is a pity she did not have one of her own....taking care of another being matters. Safe travels to these two. RIP to Lee. Condolences to Lee’s family and friends, and especially to Max and Occy.
People that hate to cry. Lol.
It's called a UA-cam algorithm. YT will put dislikes on videos. Weird but there you have it. They actually count as likes and not against the channel.
Covid lockdown lovers & supporters bootlickers 😉
Yep crying here! So sweet! He was about to wag his tail off! You could tell he was like Dad’s here so let’s get in the van & go! Wish I could give you a million likes! My heart is so full Max! I know yours is bursting!
Love is love. So good to see you two back together again after this shit of a year. Happy times ahead ❤️
Am crying that was beautiful 💖💖💖💖💖
Ahh man that was awesome to see! That had to of been the best feeling for the both of you.
CRYING happy tears! Occy looks wonderful! So glad to see you guys together. Enjoy being back together. I can’t imagine going through. Breakup without my two pups.
ETA: hugs to Lee. She had to be ugly-crying when she said goodbye to Occy, and sent him home.
There is no love like a dogs love...unconditional, what a beautiful reunion ❤️
Australia and Canada both had international borders closed. In Australia we had some very significant lockdowns 😕
This made me sob like a baby I’m so happy you two are finally reunited, it’s made my day!! Occys reaction when he knew it was you 😭😭😭 amazing xxx
Every ones best friend has four legs, so pleased he is back with you.
OCCY.....& Max! Balance Restored! We missed u Occy....💜🤗
Mate, watching this in my hammock tonight, my cattledog x with me, snuggled at the end and head resting on my legs like it's his hammock, yep I feel ya, heartstrings tugged 💕❣️🐾
**yep, hit repeat...
This was great to wake up to. Yay Occy! The best boy!
This morning I was just thinking when the reunion will be...I'm so happy to see you so happy Max!
My dog has kept me going for the past two years as I have had a lot to deal with. Our fur puppies really are the best medicine.
My little Jack Russell will be turning 18 this August.
Max. If you are trying to worry us, you have succeeded. Haven’t heard from you for weeks!, What’s bappen’in mate?.
Crying here in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 !!! That was pure happiness !!! I have a mini Australian shepherd LUNA !! Enjoy each day together still crying here !!!! Happy tears !!!🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️🐶🐶
The best kind of tears ❤️
Wow I've been anticipating Occy's arrival home...it was FANTASTIC!!! As much as it has been a really hard year emotionally you know Occy has been loved throughout! Now time for you both to embrace your summer and your adventures together again...so happy for you both💓💓
how lucky is Occy to have two summers? That boy loves to swim!
If I could spend all day liking this post, it would be time well spent.
Agree! I can't stop replaying it. Definitely made my day 😁💗👍
People often say "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree", to be meaning that a child will grow up to be like their parent.
Watching Occy in the videos, it's incredibly evident that "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree".
Glad your baby is back where he belongs.
Sending you both much needed healing thoughts at a time you need it most.
Sorry about your loss.
Wow Beautiful 😍 now all we need is a pretty affectionate lady in the van and we good to go .
Happiest tears are pouring out from Occy’s reaction!
So glad hes back home and with his dad! Thanks again to Lee for being the best and caring for him so immensely! What a great day ! The tears are flowing
Max I am so elated that your so happy. I cannot speak any words ..my eyes are full of happy tears. I want to thank you for your dedication of this episode to all who have had a tough year, and more. I certainly fit into that category. You are a legend, and always stay strong. I'm here for ya mate. Give the King a squeeze from uncle Jay.❤🐶🙏
That dedication and sign off hits different now. But thanks to Max and Occy for the happy tears. It’s nice to replace the sad tears for a little while. 💙
I took my dog with me for 10 years except only one night and that because I didn’t know the Hilton Hotel accepted dogs. I miss him. Seeing you with Occy, I can appreciate how you feel
Fabulous sight to see mate so glad you two are back together. ✌️🐕🐾☺️👌
Cheers John!!
SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, HAPPY!! Made my week Max. I cannot imagine what it must be like to live without your mate for so long. I lost mine in sept 2019 and crumbled mentally until I got the reincarnation of him in our girl Luna in December 2019. They're such an integral part of our mental health and although I've had such a tough year too, I know yours has been much worse and to see this......well let's just say that I need to go and rehydrate because I've just cried myself into a prune!! Much love to you both and can't wait for your new adventures from the Liz & Skatz channel xxxx
Thank you Lee for assisting with getting Occy back.🇿🇦👊
My blue merle Aussie passed away this past summer. Seeing Occy brought back good memories of my boy. Give Occy extra hugs from a fellow Aussie lover!
I just found your channel and I’m over here in tears because this was my story 9 months ago as well. I went through a divorce in the states in February 20 and the only thing I walked away with was ownership of my two dogs. I got a job in Scotland right as the pandemic kicked off - my dogs couldn’t come with me before the borders closed in March 20, so my parents kindly kept them for me until I could get them back in August 20. After a lot of waiting, paperwork and one majorly failed attempt, they made it to Scotland and are loving life in the outdoors here. The reunion moment - my goodness, there is nothing like it. You seem to have such a big heart and I’m so glad you were able to be reunited with your best mate. ❤️
Finally!!! This reunion made my day, tears and all!!! 😭💕😁 A person with their dog, it’s a beautiful thing! Wishing you both many more happy adventures together! 🐾🦶🏻
More tears here; tears of joy this time tho. Much needed after losing my beloved cousin to Covid. Please wear a mask!
Hugging you tightly, so sorry
Yeah, why are we so emotional when it comes to pets, love them to the moon and back. So happy for both of you.
I have never clicked on a video this quick!!! So happy for u max ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Australian Shepherds are the greatest dog breed ever. I've had 2 of them. I won't own another breed. They all have similar traits. My Aussie Shepherd is my therapist
I should have grabbed tissues before watching. I am sure you must feel relieved and happy to get your buddy back. ❤️ Van completed. Your dog is back. Now on to new adventures
Welcome home Occy!!!!! 💙💙
He’s fit back in so well!
I have an ESA for my PTSD. I know what It's like when you're without your pet. I understood it when you said that balance has been restored. I'm so glad that you two have been reunited.
I'm glad that you'll be getting him back to his original weight. Being a vet tech I can tell you that excess weight is not good. Though, you can tell that he's been well loved.
God I love Occy! What he did in South America was amazing.❤️❤️❤️
Awwww💞Occy said "Don't you every leave me again." I'm so... happy for your reunion and so excited to see your future Journey.🤗
I started crying when you pulled up.It took three times watching to stop crying.My Heart ❤️ is so Full of Love 💕 for you Both.My Heart ❤️ is Freckles a Australia Cattle Dog. She is Black and White. I can not one day Live with out Her. God Bless Max and Occy . THE KING
Oh, happy day happy day. ❤️❤️ Why am I crying? Looks like they took great care of him. When I picked my cat up from q he was a mess. Gosh, he is so pretty. Still crying. ❤️
Can't imagine how you feel mate brings a tear to my eye
What a beautiful reunion. Loved seeing you two reunited. He does look a little chubby. That just means he’s a happy boy and has been well taken care of.
Welp I’m ugly crying ❤️ best reunion ever
