This rescued pitbull, called Harvey, couldn’t contain her excitement when she met her owner after he returned from a six-month deployment.

The clip, captured at a home in Memphis on August 25, shows the man and the dog joyfully playing with each other.

The soldier writes: ''I went home for paternity leave from a deployment with the army and being greeted by my pitbull.

''Harvey is a rescued pitbull who loves her dad and goes crazy whenever I come home from a deployment.''
