The dogs excitedly jumping up to greet him, full of affection, after days of not seeing him.
Taber Lost Paws Society shared a touching video Saturday of the moment Hero and his canine companion Tora were reunited with their owner after he was released from hospital.
The dogs had been in the care of the society while the 61-year-old man was recovering from injuries he suffered during the incident last week.
Police told Global News the man had been out walking with his dogs when he became stuck in a muddy ditch, both dogs refused to leave his side.
Officers were initially alerted to a large dog in the area but were unable to locate it when they arrived on site. A few hours later, police learned a man and his dog were bitten by the original large dog while in the area.
When police returned to the scene, they noticed an Akita mix dog laying on a nearby berm. They also heard cries for help. That’s when they noticed the man.
