Have you ever wanted something so badly that you kept asking your parents for it every day? Well, that's what happened to this boy who has been begging for a dog since he was just three years old! And guess what? It's his 12th birthday and his parents surprised him with a heartwarming gift! The heart-melting video shared by the Instagram user, dogsarelove00, shows the boy receiving a package containing a few dog toys. He's clearly excited but has no idea what's coming next. "Oh, what is this?" he says as he opens the package. After he reveals the toys, he exclaims, "Oh my goodness. This is like a..". His mom chimes in, asking, "It's Cool Right? It's Stranger Things, Right? That's what you like?" He replies with a simple "yes" and his mom continues to ask, "Cool what's the other thing?"

As he's playing with one of the toys, he hears a squeaky sound and his mom asks, "What is that?" The boy looks up, a little confused, and replies, "There are dog toys". His mom seems surprised and asks, "Oh, are you serious? They're dog toys?" to which he confirms that they are indeed dog toys. But then, from behind him, his father appears with a cute black dog in his arms. The boy is stunned and his mom apologizes, saying, "I am so sorry, but you need a dog, Happy Birthday!" The boy is so overwhelmed with emotion that he cries out of joy, exclaiming, "Oh my gosh, I am gonna cry." His wish has finally come true.

Another user, @nathalie.laqueen, says, "I think more young boys need to hear that it’s okay to cry. Such a wholesome family. Best gift ever. That kid deserves that pup."
