Boy learns he’s getting his ‘dream dog’ after years of negotiating with parents
Children tend to love animals.
They enjoy being around them, petting them, and feeling that they are best friends.
Especially when it comes to dogs.
There are so many benefits to having children grow up with them that the list just doesn’t seem to end.
Indicatively, studies have shown that children who grow up with dogs during the first year of their life are less likely to have respiratory illnesses than their non-dog-owning counterparts.
Additionally, children coming from families with dogs develop a sense of responsibility, their self-esteem is enhanced, while they also tend to be more sociable.
Little Hen used to crave a dog.
The little boy had been asking specifically for a “sausage dog named Angus” for two long years, but his parents were not keen on the idea.
After the couple realized how badly the boy wanted a pet best friend, they decided to get a sausage dog and, indeed, name him Angus.
So, earlier this year, they got the dog and decided to give their son the surprise of his life.
They also captured the whole thing and the boy’s reaction on camera and posted it on TikTok.
Needless to say, it was a hit.
“When you’re not having more children. But you’re blessed with one that deserves a BFF,” reads the video caption.
So, that day, Hen walks into the living room waiting to find a present there.
He looks around and he can’t really see where the gift may be hiding.
Then, as he turns to his mom, he realizes there’s something moving in her arms.
His facial expressions say it all.
The “where could that present be?” face quickly turns into an “oh my gosh” expression.
He then turns to his dad and asks:
“We finally got Angus?”
When his guess is confirmed, he starts his very own happy dance.
The boy approaches the sausage dog and tears of joy are welling up in his eyes.
It was really a heart-melting moment.
He then runs around the house with his new little best friend following him everywhere.
“I’m pretty sure we’ll all forget life before him,” the boy’s mom says.
Indeed, a few months later, Angus has become part of the family. He has even appeared in many of the videos his human mom has posted on TikTok.
As she explained in a post last month, it feels like Angus has always been there with them, and he actually came to fill a different hole in each one of the three members of his human family.
“He fills a different hole for each of us and he just makes every day better! As an only child, Hen now has his BFF by his side,” she shared.
What a lovely surprise and what an amazing duo Hen and Angus will make!
