Awww! Dog passes out from excitement as it greets its owner for the first time in two years[video]

The moment a dog passed out from being overly excited at the sight of its owner has been caught on camera.

Rebecca Ehalt, who is now based in Slovenia, returned to her family home in Pennsylvania recently for the first time in two years.

Video footage shows her walking up the driveway of her parents' property and being greeted by the family's very giddy pet schnauzer, which flops over after over-exerting itself barking. Watch video below...

 The overjoyed canine is heard squealing manically as Ms Ehalt kneels down to give it a hug.

But it then starts rasping and rolls over on its back, seemingly exhausted by joy.

Ms Ehalt scoops the animal up in a bid to bring it back to life and it immediately regains consciousness.

However, instead of barking the hound is heard softly whimpering.
