Army pilot surprises dog when he returns home from deployment

An Army pilot deployed to Afghanistan returned home in Illinois and got his four-legged “wingman” back, too.

Zack Vohaska returned home to Woodstock, Illinois after doing a 4-month tour of duty in Afghanistan.

When he got back, he and his family decided to see if his dog, a golden retriever named “Buddy,” could do a “Man-hunt” for a reunion with his old missing pal.

Buddy was let loose while Zack hid under a bunch of pillows and blankets, but Zack couldn’t get past Buddy, who knows how to use his own “Navigation instruments”…his nose.

Buddy’s tail went into “take-off” mode as he went into a happy landing on the couch and on top of Zack.

“Buddy” was adopted by Zack while he was in flight school.
