One young man broke down when he was surprised with a dog on his birthday, bursting into tears after spotting the puppy. The little guy could not keep it together after realizing he was gifted a puppy. Watch the short video to see the cute and heartwarming moment.

Animals are, without question, special and unique creatures. They are dependable, loyal to a fault and love unconditionally. As anyone who has ever had a pet knows, animals will and do make for some of the best friends you’ll ever have in this life.

As great as all animals are, there is something extra special about dogs. Anyone who has or has had a dog will wholeheartedly agree with that statement and conclusion. Dogs are loving, caring and empathetic beings, often putting your cares and feelings ahead of their own. They aren’t referred to as man’s best friend for nothing.

That is likely part of why one young man burst into tears at the mere sight of a puppy in a sweet YouTube clip.

In the video, the young man stands at a counter as he opens a package containing several gifts. From the conversation between him and the woman behind the camera, it’s clearly his birthday.

One by one, the little guy pulls out the gifts. All the presents seem odd for someone his age and species. The toys are all squishy or squeak and appear to be dog toys. It’s clear that the young man is a little confused but still does his best to appear grateful for what he has been given.

Then, seconds later, a man walks into the room carrying a cute, sweet puppy. The birthday boy takes one look at the animal, and it’s love at first sight. He has found his best friend as tears stream down his face.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”
