A family visited the Brookfield Zoo, they had no clue about the huge surprise they were about to receive!

Army Sgt. Keith Howse was stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan for the past eight months, and he has not seen his two young daughters Nataja and Jorja, for almost a year, so he wanted to surprise them.

Two girls were at the Zoo with their mom, they were called from the stands to assist in a special encounter with one of the dolphins during the presentation.

Nataja and Jorja were happy that they could see the dolphins up close.

The show’ narrator announced that their dad was serving in Afghanistan. The narrator said that there was a surprise in store for them, she said that their dad was here. As soon as they saw their father they ran up to him and hugged him. The whole reunion was heartwarming.
