"Oh there she is!," Stewart exclaimed as he peered out his window. "Look who's here. Wow. That's beautiful—hi, love," he said before being smothered by dog kisses. "Thank you for that, that was a very nice greeting."

If your heart didn't melt watching the video, try watching it again. Stewart later tweeted an update, saying Ginger was "sleeping and snoring on our couch and I can honestly think of no greater compliment."
