The old adage “It is better to give than it is to receive” is especially important during the Christmas season. In our consumer-driven society, people obsess over getting the latest smartphone or the hit video game console. One young woman recently shared the beautiful story of her gift to her mother, a gift that is both a source of joy and hope for two living things.

The woman begins her now viral Twitter post by telling her friends and family that her mother has been struggling with loneliness since becoming an empty nester. Even worse, the family recently lost their beloved Dalmatian, a pet and friend that they had for 15 years. To help their mother cope with her feelings of loneliness after losing her dog and no longer needing to parent her children full time, the young lady and her siblings decided to give their mother a 4-month-old Dalmatian puppy for Christmas.

The woman secretly recorded their mother’s reaction when they introduced her to her new four-legged friend. As the lady walks into her family room, which is adorned with several Santa Claus figures and other Christmas decorations, she stops upon seeing the beautiful animal. With joy in her voice, she exclaims “Oh my God! He’s so cute!” Taking the little pooch into her arms, she cradles the puppy and gives him many sweet kisses. Those in attendance cannot help but smile at the happiness on their mom’s face.

In all, the young lady gave her mother the gift of companionship and freedom from loneliness. The puppy was also given a truly spectacular gift in a devoted owner who will love and cherish him for eternity.
