Xander Mellor, a resident of Springfield, Illinois, who is only six years old, had been collecting coins for the last 18 months to purchase a puppy. Whenever his mother, Natalie Ellenburg, returned home from work, he would politely ask for her spare change and stash it in his savings jar.
Xander gave up his love for sweets and treats as he set his sights on adopting a furry companion. His grandparents caught wind of his endearing mission and surprised him with a visit to help make his dream come true!
In the clip, Xander is excitedly making his way out of the house when he spots his grandparents’ car.

With an ear-to-ear grin, Xander eagerly awaits his present, but once he opens his eyes, his expression turns to pure surprise and joy as he sees that he has been gifted an adorable puppy.
Despite trying to show a grateful smile to his Grandma, Xander was unable to contain his emotions for too long. The overwhelmed child broke down into happy tears as he affectionately held his beloved puppy.
