Apparently, when someone comes in through the front door, Emma just “sits at the end of the hallway and waits,” but this time she makes a special effort.

Despite not being as fast as her four-legged siblings, she shows that she is just as excited as any of them to see dad again.

“My husband has been gone for 6 months. Before he left, we adopted (are long-term foster parents for SNARR-a special needs animal rescue) a special needs puppy with a severe birth defect,” said Emma’s human, Melissa Proctor Swanson.

“Emma and her daddy were very close! It broke her heart when he left. When I come in the door, she normally sits at the end of the hallway and waits for me to pick her up. This time, when her daddy came in, she went to him!”

“She has a spirit unmatched by any dog. Her determination to do things is inspirational.”

Since the video was filmed, Emma has had her hind legs amputated to make moving around a little more comfortable for her.
