The feeling of coming home after an eventful adventure such as the Olympics is inexplicable. To be at the level of the Olympics, athletes make many sacrifices, and being away from home either for training or the competition is one of them. While the American bobsledder, Kaillie Humphries, was performing spectacularly in the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022, a cute little family member was eagerly waiting for her return.

The 36-year-old Canadian turned American brought home a gold medal from Beijing in the inaugural Monobob event. She became the first athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport. Overall, the bobsledder has won four Olympic medals, three of which are gold medals. While returning home from Beijing, Kaillie received the most heartwarming welcome.

Kaillie Humphries recieved a pawsome welcome

Her beloved dog ‘Duchess’ greeted the three-time Olympic gold medalist, Kaillie Humphries, at the airport. She was so happy and ran straight to her as she cuddled her in her arms. Kaillie has shared the video of this heart melting meet up on her twitter handle with the caption, “My fur-baby. She’s the best dog. I missed her so much while I was away….. and it seems she missed me too. “🥰

‘Duchess’ is a 5-year-old golden doodle who was cheering for the bobsledder in the Olympics. For the finals, the ‘Duchess’ was dressed in US colors and watched the game from home.
