Puppies have a monopoly on cuteness in the world. Except for kittens, those little guys possess a large amount of cuteness as well, but that’s a debate for another day.

Have you seen any cute animal videos recently? If not, just keep on reading!

This video showcases a small boy being gifted a puppy, and his reacion will melt your heart and touch your soul!

A boy in Springfield, Illinois had been begging his parents for a puppy for many years. The six-year-old Xander just couldn’t imagine what owning his own dog would be like.

Xander didn’t think he would ever own a dog. But his parents were hatching a genius surprise for him.

He was heading over to his grandparent’s house, and his mother, Natalie, told him to wait outside in the front yard. She informed him that they had gone out, and would be back soon. Once inside and hidden from view, Natalie whipped out her phone to film the moment for all to see. She knew how incredible it was going to be!

Xander heads over to see his grandparents as they arrive, and he waits for them to get out of the car.

The door opens and a voice tells Xander to close his eyes and hold his arms out.

He’s probably wondering what on earth is going on by this point, but he obliges. The poor boy is probably extremely confused at this point, but he kindly obeys, commenting:

“Okay, I’m not going to move.”

Xander’s grandma asks him to raise his hands so that it looks almost as if he is cradling the air. It looks comical, and this video is just loaded full of comedy and cuteness.

Finally, the heartwarming moment is here. Grandma places a tiny puppy into Xander’s arms.

Xander’s eyes fly open, and he gasps. He doesn’t even have words, and then he just smiles. Mom asks,

“What do you think?”

He tries to say something along the lines of “I love it” before he starts sobbing.

The young boy holds the puppy tight to his chest.

Natalie mentioned that Xander had been saving every single penny of his money to buy a dog.

Natalie had kept the whole thing a secret, because after all, Xander was going to need a little help with purchase and expense money. But he thought he only had one more jar of coins to fill.

The Mellor family has never owned a dog, and they decided to appropriately name him Marshmallow, or Mello, as he is lovingly called.

The family had been planning to get a dog for a while, and this was just the perfect moment for them.

If you’ve never surprised a family member or friend with a puppy, you should try it. It will fill you with joy and satisfaction. Just be sure they are able to take on the responsibility and financial requirements of owning a dog.
