In Springfield, Illinois, a determined 6-year-old named Xander Mellor embarked on a heartfelt mission. For the past 18 months, he diligently saved money with the goal of purchasing a puppy. Each day, as Natalie Ellenburg, his guardian, returned from work, Xander would kindly request any spare change she might have.
Graciously receiving the coins, he would then carefully add them to his savings jar, slowly but steadily accumulating the funds needed to fulfill his dream of getting a puppy.

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!
