This giant dog couldn’t contain his excitement when his US soldier ‘brother’ returned home after almost three months – climbing on top of and smothering him with love. Jaxson, an 18-month-old Bullmastiff, weighs 160lbs but thinks he’s still a small puppy and doesn’t realize his size. So, when Jason Floyd, 19, returned home from Army Basic Training, the adorable pooch charged towards him before happily bundling on top of him and covering him with licks. And the feeling was clearly mutual as Jason takes his opportunity to break free before joining Jaxson on the ground for even more cuddles. While Jason was away, his mom Lisa Floyd, from Greenville, Rhode Island, put his t-shirts on pillows for Jaxson to snuggle up to as he missed his human brother so much.
