Samantha Armytage shares adorable footage as she’s reunited with her beloved dog Banjo

Samantha Armytage was reunited with her beloved dog Banjo on Tuesday after returning from her South American holiday.

The former Sunrise anchor, 46, recently jetted off to the continent with husband Richard Lavender for some much-needed down time.

And the couple have since returned, much to the excitement of their Labrador Retriever, with Samantha sharing the happy reunion on her Instagram page.

“Reunited with my little Muchacho,” she wrote alongside a sweet image of herself petting the golden dog.

She then shared a heartwarming video of her fur baby wagging his tail as he lay in the grass next to her.

Samantha documented the adventure on her Instagram Stories in July, sharing a photo of Banjo looking panting and exhausted as he took a break on a rock.

“Sun salutations,” the Channel Seven star captioned the image, referring to a series of yoga moves traditionally performed at sunrise.

Samantha later shared another photo of herself having breakfast at a cafe, while Banjo sat directly under the table hoping for a piece of food.

“And then out to dinner…” she captioned this image.
