Dogs are one of the most lovable animals in the world, which is why they are dubbed "man's best friend." These cute creatures provide their owners with a sense of support and emotional well-being thanks to the unconditional love they give. Due to their ability to offer great company and comfort, it is no surprise that many desire to have dogs as companions, irrespective of the breed.

While many people fulfill their desires by getting dogs through various means, either rescuing or purchasing them, others are gifted these precious animals. The joy of receiving the desired dog as a gift is untold, and a recent video of this touching moment between man and his best friend is here to prove it. The clip went viral after the reaction of a man getting a Labrador pup as a birthday gift is warming netizens' hearts.

The clip featured the man, clad in a black shirt, denim pants, and a black cap, sitting next to a woman on a couch. Kelsey walked in carrying a black basket with something heavy inside. Unknown to the man, he was about to get one of his greatest wishes fulfilled.

Explaining what was happening in the clip, Kelsey added some text overlays that read:

"After years of my dad asking for a chocolate lab, he finally got one for his birthday!! We love you dad. Enjoy your new puppy."

Priceless Reaction Leaves TikTokers Emotional

A few seconds after Kelsey entered the room and dropped the basket, her dad looked inside and realized what was happening. Immediately, he gasped with surprise, saying, "No! No!! Oh my God!" before pulling out the adorable pup with a red ribbon on his head. Without hesitation, the man hugged the dog with a big smile, still in disbelief. Then, he said, "I love him."

The rest of the clip also captured the reactions of other family members, who were evidently happy and couldn't get over how cute the chocolate lab pup was. The happy mood in the room remained that way until the video ended. Kelsey accompanied the clip with the caption:
