Astronaut shares touching reunion with her dog after moon mission

After a ten-day mission around the moon, astronaut Christina Koch posted a video on Instagram of the reunion with her dog, Sadie.

In the clip, Sadie can be seen enthusiastically scratching at the door when she spots her owner. As soon as the door opens, the dog jumps up on her and rushes to grab a toy.

In another video, the astronaut is running on the beach, with Sadie following along and enjoying the sea.

”The happiest of reunions”

”I’m pretty sure I was the happiest one in this reunion. Sadie taught me everything I know about being an emotional support animal. I didn’t expect that to come in handy,” the engineer wrote in her post.

A record-breaking astronaut

This isn't the first time Christina Koch has travelled to space. In 2020, she made history with a 328-day journey aboard the International Space Station, where she conducted the first all-female spacewalks and set the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman.
