Two 11-month-old sister dogs, Maui and Juniper, experienced a joyful reunion at Seattle’s Pike Place Market after being adopted by different families.

The chance meeting was captured and shared on Facebook by Pam Corwin, a market vendor who witnessed the event.

Key details of the reunion include:

  • Background: The dogs were originally adopted from Russia and flown into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as puppies. Matching identifying tattoos confirmed their relation.
  • The Encounter: While walking with their respective owners, the two identical dogs unexpectedly ran toward each other, rolling around and embracing on the walkway.
  • Reconnecting Owners: Upon chatting, the two couples realized they had briefly met while picking up the puppies at the airport months earlier. They exchanged contact details to arrange future play dates for the sisters.
