Koch told KPRC that the first thing she did when she got home from her mission on the International Space Station was to go see her dog Little Brown Dog, or as Koch calls the pup, LBD.
The reunion was recorded and is everything you’d expect it to be - LBD couldn’t contain herself.
Koch spent 328 days in space, the longest single spaceflight by a woman, CNN reported.
In addition to getting back with LBD, she had a few of her favorite foods and took a trip with her family to a beach, she shared during a press conference this week.

Koch has to get used to being back on terra firma; she is getting her balance back and getting used to walking, instead of floating. She hasn't had motion sickness like other astronauts who have spent a long time in space. She's also had a few aches and pains as she readjusts to gravity, CNN reported.
