Astronaut Christina Koch’s dog welcomed her back to her Galveston, Texas home after Koch’s 328 day stint on the International Space Station. This is the longest ever mission by a female astronaut… and is over 6 dog years.
“Glad she remembers me after a year!” Koch tweeted.
The rescue dog is named LBD, the initials of its full name: Little Brown Dog.
“I reunited with my dog, LBD, which was wonderful,” Koch told NBC. “I also took a family trip to the beach, taking in the sights and sounds of the ocean is something I really missed.”
