A woman named Abbie Scarrott had been feeling really sad after losing her third baby before it could be born. But her boyfriend, Ben Jordan, wanted to cheer her up in a big way. He surprised her with something she’d always wanted—a cute little Dachshund puppy! The sweet moment was caught on video and shared online, where tons of people watched it and loved it.
In the video, Abbie is sitting on a sofa at her mom’s house in Worcestershire, U.K., with a blanket over her lap. She didn’t know what was coming. Then Ben walked in, holding the tiny puppy, and gently put it on her lap. At first, Abbie just stared at the dog, shocked. Then she started crying happy tears because she couldn’t believe it was hers. The puppy, wagging his tail and jumping around, was so excited to meet her too!
This happened on November 17, and Abbie later posted the video on social media. Millions of people saw it and thought it was super sweet. She named her new puppy Roo and said it made her heart feel better. Abbie and Ben had been through a tough time with another miscarriage, and she’d dreamed of having a Dachshund since she was a kid. They’d talked about getting a dog someday, but not so soon.
Abbie was hanging out with Ben’s sister and niece on the sofa when Ben walked in with the surprise. She looked up, saw the puppy in his hands, and was so stunned she couldn’t even talk! She said her face in the video shows how amazed she was—it was a total shock, but the best kind. Abbie shared that even when life feels really hard, something happy can pop up when you least expect it, like her new furry friend Roo.
