WATCH: Artemis II Astronaut Christina Koch Reunites with Dog Who ‘Loved Her to the Moon and Back’

A crew member of Artemis II got a warm welcome from her four-legged friend when she returned from circling the moon.

NASA astronaut Christina Koch recorded the moment she was reunited with her rescue dog, Sadie, a few days after the crew splashed down off the coast of San Diego, Fox 10 reported Monday.

“I’m still pretty sure I was the happier side of this reunion. Sadie taught me everything I needed to know about being an emotional support animal. Didn’t expect that would come in handy,” Koch wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.

The video showed the moment Sadie realized her owner was just outside their front door. The dog scratched at the door, then barked several times while excitedly wagging her tail.

The second it opened and Koch appeared, Sadie jumped into her arms then ran to retrieve a toy for her owner.

“Hi Sadie baby!”
