Even though Maple and Mikey grew up in completely different environments, they have one thing in common: they were both trained as professional service dogs.

Maple lives with Paul from Seattle, who is blind and relies on his assistance dog in everyday life, while Mikey works as a therapy dog in a hospital in Hawaii.

During their training, the Labradors learned to concentrate completely on their owners and not to be distracted by other dogs.

Then it was all the more surprising on both sides when Maple and Mikey were able to meet again in Hawaii, where Paul and his partner Matthew had organized the meeting in advance.

A shows the moment when the Labradors came face to face for the first time in five years.

When they were both unharnessed, there was no stopping Mikey and Maple!

Touching video shows reunion between dog brothers

The dogs happily rushed towards each other, sniffed each other excitedly, and then began to romp around together.

The owners agreed that they had never observed this behavior in their four-legged friends before, as their trained pups would hardly ever interact with other dogs.

Apparently, the dogs made an exception for family!

Matthew and Paul were clearly touched by the encounter, with the video caption of "I'M BAWLING."
