You remember the dog rescued from floating debris three weeks after Japan’s initial earthquake / tsunami disaster, don’t you? Well, it seems that the pup is the human interest story that keeps on giving: Against all odds, the dog – named Ban – has been reunited with his owner! Here, have a tissue. Hell, have five tissues and a Xanax.

In all seriousness, however, it’s a relief, and something of an encouragement, to hear at least some happy stories coming out of Japan’s ongoing tragedy. (You’re still very much on our minds, Toshihito Aisawa.)

Here’s footage of the exact moment the pup was reunited with his owner:

…And here’s the original video report on the dog’s incredible rescue:

America, the worlds most powerful Christian nation, raise pigs simply to consume them! They are slaughtered for their sweet fatty flesh as the Christian beasts poison themselves through self satisfied compulsion! Maybe one day you will wake up to the true Christians nature… naw… because you are a Confederate fundamentalist… proving you are an evil man…dirty pig eater.
