With his eyes tightly shut, Xander waits in anticipation, and when he feels something placed in his hands, his eyes widen in disbelief. Upon opening them, he is met with the adorable sight of a puppy cradled in his arms.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Xander struggles to contain his tears but musters a grateful smile.

Holding his new furry friend close, he is filled with joy and gratitude. We can only imagine the countless cherished memories he will create with his beloved pet in the years to come.
