We’ve seen many emotional reactions over the gift of a puppy.
There was the family that presented this animal to its parents Lion King style and the girl who received a pet on her birthday and totally lost it.
But it will be difficult to any reaction to ever top the one featured in the video below.
It centers on a man who lost his wife of 63 years in July, just weeks after also losing his dog. In response, his family surprised their father/grandfather with an adorable canine, telling their loved one that he no longer has to be alone.
Watch now as the man cries tears of shock and joy and feel your heart grow a little bigger as he does so:
Pretty awesome and beautiful, huh?
Wanna keep the waterworks going?
