In this video, Xander happily runs out of the house as soon as he sees his grandparents’ car. Grandma asks him to close his eyes and stretch his hands out for a “present” as he approaches the vehicle door.

 

The boy is ‘all smiles’ as he waits for Grandma’s present, but his eyes open in absolute shock when he sees a cute little puppy placed in his arms!
