An 8-year-old boy in California who had been wishing for a dog for nearly six years burst into tears of joy when he received a puppy as a birthday present from his parents.

Video footage shared by the boy's mother, model and influencer Sarah Stage, shows Logan excitedly opening a sizable blue box and finding a stuffed animal inside it. Thinking the toy was his only gift, Logan excitedly hugs it and says he loves his new stuffed friend. However, the box also included a small pink collar with the name "Teddi" on it.

A few moments later, a navy box is placed on the table for him, and Logan opens it to find a small puppy inside. At that moment, Logan bursts into tears and hugs the pup, while his brother comes over to comfort him.

Video of Logan and his new puppy goes viral

The video, which Stage shared on social media, went viral on TikTok, amassing over 70 million views. Stage told ARK Media her son had wanted a puppy since he was 2 years old and would wish for one on every birthday and Christmas.

"All of us were ugly crying. So happy for my babies and welcome to our family Teddi!" Stage's caption for the now-viral post reads.

Commenters under Stage's post shared their appreciation for "grateful kids" like Logan.

"We love grateful kids," one commenter wrote, while another said, "The fact that he was happy just for a stuffed puppy."
