In this case, a child and dog are really, really, _really_ crazy excited to see their dad’s car pulling into the driveway. Watch as they have identical, joyful freakouts over this exciting discovery. Neither can contain their excitement, which is already pretty cute, but the fact that they celebrate in unison? That really takes this video to another level. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4067089/toddler-baby-freakout/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4067089/toddler-baby-freakout/"},"headline":"Toddler and Dog Have Identical, Joyful Freakouts When Their Dad Comes Home","datePublished":"2015-10-08T20:04:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:45.830Z","description":"Nobody will ever be this happy to see you","url":"https://time.com/4067089/toddler-baby-freakout/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4067089/toddler-baby-freakout/","name":"Toddler and Dog Have Identical, Joyful Freakouts When Their Dad Comes Home"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Elements of A Viral Video","description":"5 Elements of A Viral Video","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/vgQtqA8c/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-22T13:42:30.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/vgQtqA8c.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4067089/toddler-baby-freakout/","duration":"PT1M31S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4067089/toddler-baby-freakout/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
