We love this! Nothing is more magical than the day that you bring a new puppy home.

Well, that is unless you're surprised by a puppy on Christmas morning. So we HAD to share this compilation video of kids (and plenty of adults) being surprised by a puppy on the big day. 

Didn't that melt your heart on this Wednesday?

We do have one question: how does Santa fit all of these puppies in his sleigh each year? Hey, Santa: we've been good this year! We'd love a new puppy. 

EDITORIAL NOTE: It is is never a good idea to surprise somebody with a puppy who is not ready for one. A dog (or any pet) is a decision that should be made as a family. Many local shelters report that many animals are returned after the holiday magic wears off. 

Adopting a dog after the holidays as a family, can be a GREAT way to spread Christmas cheer all year. Some shelters (like this one in San Diego) recommend that you give a "pet adoption certificate" so you and your family can find and bring Fido home when the time is right.
