A Beverly Hills, California, mother experienced what can only be described as ‘pure joy.’ Her youngest son had been asking for a pet dog for nearly six years. After opening up his gift of a plush doll, he discovered yet another surprise hidden in the box: a dog collar. It goes to show that no one wants to see you happier than your parents do.
A California mother named Sarah Stage had been asked by her youngest son to get a dog for six years. For one reason or another, he was unable to have one. However, that didn’t stop him from asking for one anyway. Finally, Sarah decided it was time to share a surprise with him.
In the video, you can see her son opening a navy blue gift box. When he pulls off the lid, he finds a plush dog inside. After cuddling with the plush for a short while, he discovers a dog collar hidden inside the gift box. In that moment, another gift box was revealed to the boy.
When he opened the box, he saw a goldendoodle puppy, just like the plush doll he received moments before. You can see just how grateful the young boy is to have his dog. In fact, his tears prompt his older brother to also begin crying tears of happiness. It appears that everyone behind the camera was crying too, as the video is captioned with, “All of us were ugly crying. So happy for my babies and welcome to our family Teddi!“
California Mom Surprises Son With Puppy
Commentators from all over shared their thoughts, with many people focusing on how grateful the young boy was. Many of the top comments were along the lines of, “The fact he already was so happy and appreciated the toy dog 🥺” and “i really love grateful kids.”
Other replies focused on how happy his older brother was as well, even though he wasn’t the one who directly received the puppy. He was just so happy to see his brother being excited. One of my favorite comments concerning this said, “The older bro with tears too.. so precious.”
The wholesome video has already been liked over 12 million times, amassing nearly 62 million views on TikTok. I’d like to think that the family will be able to look back on this video fondly and be proud to have shared it with the world.
