Dad has the sweetest reaction to getting a puppy for his birthday
Each year, we try our best to pick the best gift for our loved ones. After all, we all want their birthdays to be extra special, right?
Even though youâve known this person for years, choosing the best present each year will still be a challenge. Will they appreciate it? Will they be excited about it? There are so many questions to consider!
Whether it be our parents, our spouse, our kids, or even our friends, we will always put forth our best effort in making sure that they get what they deserve and want.
The heart and effort that we put into this task makes it all the more special.
Gifts that come from the heart are timeless, as this video proves. It was posted 10 years ago now, but it is still being shared today and youâd have to see it to understand why. It was all about love at first sight!
Doug just turned 46 and, of course, his wife and children wanted to prepare something special for him. A very special birthday gift that wouldn’t just surprise him, but would also melt his heart. Their resulting idea was amazing!
Dougâs wife asked him to enter a room and on the table was a small wooden box.
It wasnât wrapped, but Doug knew it was for him for his birthday. He thought that what was inside the box was the actual gift itself.
âIâm not just giving you the box Iâm taking the box back honey,â said Dougâs wife.
Confused and a bit of a joker himself, Doug replied with:
âYou are? âŚwell, then Iâm not gonna open it,â he said, smiling as if he was going to back off.
They both laughed and Doug came back, carefully trying to see whatâs inside the box.
The puzzled look on Dougâs face was priceless! He saw a purple dog collar with the name âStellaâ on it, and his phone number was engraved on it too. Still confused, he searched inside the box and then he saw a picture frame.
The photo was of his wife and his step-daughter holding something really precious! They were holding a beautiful 3-week old golden retriever puppy!
Doug knew what it was, but he was still surprised and needed a little more convincing. In disbelief, he asked his wife again about the puppy and his loving wife jokingly explained it to him.
Dougâs reaction was so priceless and sweet!
We get him, though; receiving such an amazing gift for your birthday is beyond cool! Especially when it’s something you were never expecting in the first place.
Dougâs stepson enters the house. In his hands is the fluffiest, most adorable puppy ever! Doug carefully took her and cradled her.
Stella seems to have fallen in love instantly as well. She gives her new daddy little puppy kisses!
The video has more than 1 million views and people canât help but ask about Stella, even all these years later!
Sadly, a comment from the video uploader revealed that Stella has already passed away, but she lived a happy life until her old age.
People were heartbroken for the smitten dog-dad’s loss, but a comment made everything else clear. The video was uploaded in 2010, but the recording actually happened around 2004. Stella lived with this beautiful family for 11 wonderful, fun-filled years.
The memories that Stella shared with Doug and his family will forever remain in their hearts, and this happy and joyous moment is a treasure not just for them but for every dog lover out there.
Donât forget to watch this heartfelt video of Doug meeting Stella and be sure to share it with everyone!
