A dog fainted with excitement when he was reunited with his owner after two years apart.

Schnauzer owner Rebecca Ehalt wrote that her pet's cataplexy was perhaps understandable considering her time away was “in fairness, 14 years in dog years.”

Her YouTube video shows the pet dog wailing with joy as he sees Rebecca for the first time before falling sideways and struggling to his feet.

Ehalt said she took the Schnauzer to the vet after the emotional reunion.

“Everything is fine,” she reported.
