Info from Licensor: "Boyfriend surprised his sobbing girlfriend with a puppy for her birthday. Tamara pooch passed away three years ago aged 14 and she struggled to come to terms with the loss. But recently the sociology student decided she was ready to have another dog and mentioned it to her boyfriend of two years. He told her it would be too expensive to get a blue-heeler cross border collie pup which was Tamara’s dream pet. However, behind the scenes, the kindhearted sales manager was scheming with Tamara’s mum. The thoughtful duo picked out a female puppy called Macky after seeing an ad online and planned to surprise Tamara with it on her 23rd birthday. The boyfriend collected Macky in the morning, telling Tamara he had to do some last-minute shopping to get her a present, and hid in the yard with it as he waited to pounce. Tamara's mother managed to get her outside by asking her to help bring some laundry in, and just as Tamara came to the door, the boyfriend sprung out with the surprise. She burst into tears and squealed, 'No, oh my God, are you real?' before taking the female pup in her arms, while her triumphant boyfriend muttered, 'Success!' The gift was a 100% success.”
