Sugar-sweet joy in animal excess and without control
In the viral clip, the community learns that Spencer's owner was gone for a "very, very long" time - 12 hours.
Spencer's excitement is obvious when the long-awaited moment finally arrives and his master walks through the door.
“I can’t control myself,” it says about the moment in the clip.
Greeting his owner is also “the best thing of the whole day” for this husky.
Spencer just lets his feelings out.
He lounges back and forth on the sofa and his tail is wagging vigorously.
The little four-legged friend falls with his body against the pillow because he even loses his balance in his euphoria, only to happily lie down on his back.
The scene reaches its climax as his beloved owner comes ever closer and lovingly strokes the joyful puppy's belly.
This Labrador, beside himself with joy, does his “best waggle dance.”

A good bond with the puppy is the key to such a loving greeting.
But how do you manage to build a good bond with your four-legged friend?
Find out in our five tips.
Be there for the puppy:
The connection with your puppy is not only based on physical closeness, but also on loving words, eye contact and friendly gestures.
Hand-feed him occasionally, preferably during shared activities such as walks or training sessions.
This not only deepens mutual affection, but also strengthens the bond.
Become a team:
Learn to understand your puppy's subtle signals, be attentive to his needs and correctly interpret his body language.
Play with him every day, be it through roughhousing, romping or playful training without toys.
This strengthens the relationship and makes you both a well-coordinated team.
Rituals provide security:
Integrate fixed rituals into the puppy's everyday life, especially when saying goodbye and before going to bed.
This will help your puppy learn that your absence is limited and allow him to better adapt to rest periods.

Be the safe haven:
Offer your puppy security, especially in unknown or frightening situations.
Allow him to hide in your arms or legs if he is unsure.
Encourage him to be brave and reward him for overcoming challenges instead of punishing him.
This will boost his self-confidence and promote a trusting bond between the two of you.
There is strength in calm:
Be patient if your puppy doesn't respond immediately to commands during training.
Puppies need time to understand and implement commands.
Therefore, stay calm and patient when your dog is exploring his surroundings or is particularly interested in certain things.
