Our pets love to be included in family activities, especially exciting ones like Christmas morning when everyone gathers to open the presents under the tree. Chloe, a chocolate Labrador Retriever, was heartbroken when she realized Santa didn’t leave her a present to open, and it’s breaking all of our hearts, too.
Thankfully, Chloe’s mom, Jessica, noticed how sad she was and decided to surprise her with Santa’s final gift. Make sure your sound is on so you can hear what Jessica says to her precious fur baby. Chloe’s reaction to the surprise is the absolute sweetest!
Jessica’s video got everybody right in the feelers and quickly went viral, racking up over 11 million views, 2.8 million likes, and over 5,000 comments. People couldn’t help but feel bad for Chloe!
