Girl dreams of Golden Retriever: When her wish comes true, everyone's heart melts
Tampa (USA) - When her parents surprised her with a puppy, Koko's biggest dream came true.
Six-year-old Dakota "Koko" Pfeiffer lives in Florida with her parents. The newest member of the family is golden retriever puppy Trinity.
The road to having her own puppy was long and arduous. Although Koko had been looking into her favorite dog breed for years, her parents were hesitant about the decision to get their daughter a dog .
"She just had this affinity for them when she saw them," mom Rebecca told Newsweek. "If a neighbor had one over or a dog was on TV, she would go crazy with excitement."
"She spent her allowance on a golden retriever shirt. She made 3D artwork of dogs and dressed up as a Golden Retriever for Halloween," said Rebecca.
At some point, Koko's parents realized that it wouldn't do any good to deprive their daughter of what she loved so much. Shortly before Christmas, they got down to business.
"Dreams come true": Girl's heartbreaking reaction when she sees her new dog
When the little girl was presented with her own puppy, her wish finally came true. "Christmas just came early," Rebecca wrote on her Instagram video, which went viral with over 250,000 likes.
A second video, posted on the same day, shows Koko's heart-wrenching reaction in full. When the 6-year-old was surprised by her parents, she couldn't believe her eyes at first.
"This is the best day ever," she announced happily, thanking her parents warmly and cuddling up to her new pet.
"When my husband and I heard her say 'dreams come true', we knew it was all worth it and that we had made the right decision," said Rebecca.
Koko and her new dog immediately became one heart and one soul. Numerous people on the Internet sympathized with the girl's sweet reaction and wished her a wonderful time with her new pet.
"The puppy likes to tuck Koko in at night and fall asleep with her," said Rebecca. "She is loved so much - and we know she knows that."
