When they finally got together, the two dogs had been frustrated by their separation for over 18 months.
The adorable video was posted by Tara Zapp, who works at the Petsmart Hotel in Ajax, Ontario where the two friends were filmed after their owners dropped them off.
In the clip a small Pekingese cross called Trinity can be seen yapping in excitement as Zapp leads it through a door and towards a caged grey and white Alaskan Malamute, Buck.
Buck initially seemed hesitant as he looked at the little brown dog excitedly, but he soon joined in and gave a sincere howl.
Trinity leapt, yapped, and barked vigorously beside him.
Zapp said later that the pandemic forced us to close down our facility. Before we closed down, all the dogs were picked up and returned home.
“This is their reaction after we reopened.

User Raceck commented: “Why does it feel like the malamute is saying, “Look, we split up.” You’re a prisoner dog. You’re not mine anymore.
Another comment added: ‘That husky heard it, looked at it, first thought was “who is that little bada** making that noise’ then remembered.’
A TikTok video later showed Trinity and Buck playing outdoors, Buck running enthusiastically around her.
