Mammoth bullmastiff can't stop clambering over owner when they are finally reunited

A boisterous pup shows his joy at being reunited with his soldier owner.

Jaxson the bullmastiff has become a media star, and all because he couldn't hide his joy at his master's return from the Army.

Jason Floyd, 19, had been away for three months while attending Army basic training, and his 18-month-old Bullmastiff had been missing him.

Jason's mother Lisa Floyd said that she had put some of his worn shirts in pillow cases for Jaxson, so he wouldn't feel so lonely, and the pup would always sleep cuddled up to them.

She knew Jaxson and Jason missed each other, but nothing prepared her for the heartwarming scene she filmed and posted on Youtube.

“I was in tears. It was very heartwarming and loving. I was grateful to be able to capture that so we can always have that, you know that moment.”
