NASA astronaut reunites with dogs after 9-month stay in space

NASA astronaut Suni Williams released a video of her reunion with her two dogs after spending nine months onboard the International Space Station.

Williams posted the video Sunday on social platform X with the caption, “Best homecoming ever!”

The footage, which has received more than 330,000 views, shows Williams greeting her happy dogs. One gets so excited that it picks up a stick and trots around the front yard, wagging its tail.

Williams and NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore, along with two other astronauts, returned to Earth on March 18.

The astronauts flew to the ISS in June 2024 as part of a test flight for Boeing's Starliner capsule. They had been expected to return just a week or so later.

However, many problems cropped up on the way to the space station, and NASA eventually sent the Starliner back empty and transferred the test pilots to a SpaceX capsule, pushing their homecoming to February. Then, issues with the return mission added another month’s delay.

The astronauts returned to Earth in a capsule that splashed down off the coast of Florida.
