A heartwarming video captured the reunion between a dog and his owner.

The Wisconsin man, identified only as Jose, said he was homeless, divorced, and living in his car two years ago when he decided to get a puppy.

The canine was brimming with energy, prompting Jose to name him Chaos.

“Chaos helped me through so much in my life, I took him everywhere with me!” he told Winnebago County Animal Services.

But Jose was soon forced to ask a friend to keep an eye on the dog so he could focus on getting them a real place to live, and work to support them.

Once he did so, though, the friend refused to give Chaos back. 

“I didn’t think I would ever see my dog again,” Jose said.

Just recently Jose received a call from the animal services, saying an employee of theirs had found a stray dog in her driveway.The microchip in the dog had Jose’s number.

“I was speechless and I couldn’t stop smiling. I just couldn’t believe it,” Jose said. “I couldn’t get to the shelter fast enough.”

The reunion was then captured by the Winnebago County Animal Services.
