You can tell exactly how much someone means to you when your legs start running before your brain catches up, just ask Fiona. The little Corgi from Washington didn’t just see her best friend waiting at the curb; she felt it. In a reel shared by @hammyandolivia on Instagram, Fiona practically levitates off the ground the second she spots Kili, her Malamute BFF, whom she hasn’t seen in over a year. Her tail’s going wild, her paws can’t stay still, and the whole moment feels like a pure, unfiltered dose of joy. It’s the kind of reunion that makes your heart wag a little, too.
Owner captures Corgi’s reunion with Malamute best friend in video
The video has melted more than 434,000 hearts on Instagram, and for good reason. It opens with Fiona pulling hard on her leash, dashing toward the curb where her friend, a beautiful Malamute named Kili, awaits. The in-video text explains the excitement: “She hasn’t seen her best friend in over a year.” And you can feel every bit of that longing in her wiggle-filled rush forward.
As Fiona gets closer, the Malamute starts wagging her tail as furiously. Fiona’s human wisely releases the leash so the two can greet each other properly. Then we see a reunion for the books.
They tumble into each other’s space, sniffing, rolling, and stealing little kisses before Fiona spots and stops to say hello to Kili’s human, too, as if remembering her manners. Then it’s back to full-time reunion mode; wiggly bums, grinning faces, and happy chaos. When the treats finally come out, both pups sit (somewhat) obediently, tails still working overtime.
The contrast between Kili’s large, snow-dog frame and Fiona’s tiny, loaf-shaped self makes the friendship sweeter. One comment summed it up best: “You’re a tall floof, I’m a short floof — we’ll be the best of friends.” Another noted, “This isn’t just a reunion, it’s a soul sync. You can feel the love through the screen.” The video is cut to Randy Newman’s “You’ve got a friend in me,” and it couldn’t be more apt.
