Woman Falls To Floor When Surprised With Puppy On Anniversary Of Dog's Passing

A woman who was devastated after the passing of her beloved dog of 18 years and her ex keeping their pooch after a breakup fell to the floor in shock when her mom surprised with a new puppy. For Stefanie Salyers, 27, from Austin, Texas but now based in New York, the passing of her beloved Shih Tzu, Princess, around three years ago was extremely tough. Princess was Stefanie's first dog, who she adopted and cared for until she passed away at the age of 18 in Stefanie’s arms. She found animal companionship in her boyfriend at the time’s dog, filling a void left by Princess, before a breakup saw him keep the pooch. Knowing how difficult these big life events had been for her daughter, Stefanie's mom, Inga, started working on a surprise she thought would boost her spirits. With Stefanie based across the country, Inga worked on adopting another Shih Tzu from a rescue program to surprise her daughter with when she next returned home. That moment took place on December 17, with Stefanie completely unaware as she entered her mom's Austin home. As she came around the corner and saw the Shih Tzu staring back at her, she immediately dropped to her knees and began welling up. She then headed over the dog, Pedro, for a much-needed hug, which Inga captured on video.
