When our family is unable to make it home for the holidays, technology can help us stay in touch, and that includes staying in touch with our furry family members.

These heartwarming photos of Toby the dog show how much he misses his dad, who is deployed overseas and unable to come home for Christmas.

Instead, the two share a tender moment over video chat. These touching photos tell the whole story!

“Dog trying to play with dad (who’s deployed) over FaceTime on Christmas.”

Hey is that dad?

Let’s play fetch.

See dad, here’s the ball?

Can you see it now?

What a sweet moment. Hopefully dad returns home soon so he can play with his loyal fur friend!
