Christmas may be a human holiday, but most people just can’t refrain from getting their animals something special, too. This dog was a good boy all year round, so his parents decided to surprise him with an extraordinary gift. This is one day the dog will never forget.
Cash is a twelve-year-old golden retriever who lives with his humans, Marie Ahonen, and her husband. Their family was bigger once – they had another dog named Rosie. Rosie was best friends with Cash until she died suddenly. The dog was depressed at the loss of his friend, but he never let it stand in the way of being on his best behavior.
Three years later, Cash was still down about Rosie’s passing. In an effort to cheer him up, Marie decided to get him something extra special for Christmas. She handed him his present a little early – mainly because it could not be kept in a box.
Two weeks before Christmas, Marie’s husband walked into the living room with a neatly decorated box in his hands. Cash could smell the box instantly; he couldn’t wait to open it.
As the man closed the door and gently set the present on the floor, the dog could not contain his curiosity. His nose was practically glued to the box until it opened. When it did, this pup was in for a real surprise.
Cash got a puppy! He didn’t even have to open his gift – it unwrapped itself. As Cash sniffed around the box, the puppy popped up and pushed the lid aside. The dog couldn’t have been happier with his present.
Cash sniffed his gift, shuffling his feet excitedly. He was so happy that this little thing was his to keep. As he flitted around the puppy, the two continually bumped noses. They seemed to be equally curious about each other.
Cash stuck his whole face in the box, then leapt into a crouching position. He wanted the puppy to play. After a minute, the dog repeatedly stomped his paw into the ground, as if to say “Come play with me!”
At long last, the puppy tried to climb out of the box. He was too weak to make it on his own, but he had some help from his human. The second those tiny paws hit the ground, it was play-time.
Cash was thrilled with his Christmas present. This might be the most adorable gift-getting reaction you will ever see.
