Argos waited for twenty years to see his master. When Odysseus left home, the dog was strong and fast, a powerful creature. But over the long years that Odysseus was at war and then lost, Argos suffered. He missed his master, who had left so suddenly. Over the years, the dog began to waste away. Truly, he should not have lived so long, because he was so weak and depressed. But the day Odysseus once more walked over the threshold of the palace, Argos was freed. His master had returned, and he could die peacefully and contently.

this is really sad, but the dog must have been really happy that he could see you a final time.
