The World Cup will bring soccer fans together from all corners of the globe. And some of those fans have helped bring a man and his dog back together again.

A YouTube video shows a man from Uruguay being reunited with his beloved dog in Brazil. The dog started following four English fans during their walk to raise money for charity -- and followed the men for about 500 miles.

Just days before they were about to finish the walk, a man named "Nacho" called the guys saying he recognized the dog in the news.

Nacho then hitch-hiked from Uruguay to Brazil, about 500 miles, to be reunited with his four-legged friend.
