This is our favorite Christmas present of the year and it wasn’t even given to us: a 7-year-old from New Jersey named Elizabeth was volunteering at a pet rescue mission recently when she fell in love with one of the puppies. She was so heartbroken when they parted that even talking about the puppy brings her to tears.

During a recent dog adoption special on The Meredith Vieira Show, Meredith revealed that her team managed to track that puppy, named Lorelai, down, then surprised Elizabeth by giving her the puppy as a present. Her reaction is priceless:
