The Marin Human Society recently held an adorable reunion between a mother dog and her four puppies that will leave you gushing.

According to the animal shelter's Facebook page, after taking in two frightened dogs on March 6, 2016, they examined the female and discovered she had recently given birth to puppies.

After some dedicated investigating the team found that the person who brought the two dogs to the shelter was also in possession of the four-month-old puppies, and convinced them to surrender the puppies to the shelter.

The touching video captures the moment when the scared and reserved mother was reunited with her puppies, and her pure joy is very apparent.
