Mini Schnauzer Beams with Pure Joy the Moment She Spots Mom Leaving the Office

It doesn't matter how big your family is, how loving your partner might be, what great kids you have — there is simply no way for any human on earth to give you a warmer welcome at the end of the day than a dog can. There's something about the combination of unabashed excitement and unconditional love that makes you feel like they've been waiting all day just to see your face again... and knowing dogs, there's a good chance that they actually have!

That certainly seems to be true for the Mini Schnauzer in the Instagram video below. She got to pick her mom up from work, and even without seeing her view out the window, it's pretty hard to miss the moment she must have spotted her. Her mom must feel so loved after this!

This sweet video comes to us from @duchess_mini_schnauzer , sharing the reaction that their Mini Schnauzer , Duchess, has when she finally sees her mom emerge from her office building at the end of the day.

Duchess is hanging out in the car, looking out the window, and as soon as she spots her mama, she has an instant excitement reaction. She is wiggling, crying, and wagging that little non-existent tail of hers. After watching this, I hope her mom sees just how much she means to her pup!

By the time her mom finally appears at the window to greet her, Duchess is totally losing it.

The end of the video shows a clip of the moment from the mom's perspective, and it's just as cute. No matter how rough work might have been that day, there's no doubt that seeing this sweet face when it's all over makes all that negativity go away!

Commenters gushed over how cute Duchess' reaction was, with one person writing, "They always miss us. Even when we are only gone for a minute." So true!

Why Do Some Dogs Shake When They're Excited?

Multiple people pointed out how Duchess was practically "vibrating" with excitement when she saw her mom, and don't worry — that kind of reaction is totally normal!

As Windermere Veterinary Services points out, it's common for dogs to shake when they're excited, since it's a way their body gets rid of that extra energy in an attempt to get them to calm down.

If your dog shakes when you get home from work, they're just that happy to see you, so make sure you give them plenty of love and cuddles!

However, if they're shaking for seemingly no reason, while having symptoms like nausea, limping, drooling, or other stomach upset, it's time to see the vet.

But in Duchess' case, it's all excitement. I hope her mom spent so much quality time with her when they got home!
