Determined to make it happen, Xander started saving his money, and he was willing to make a huge sacrifice—he stopped buying sweets and chocolates. For a kid his age, that was no small feat!
Not only did Xander cut out his favorite treats, but he also asked his mom, Natalie, for any spare change when she came home from work. Every coin went straight into his savings jar.
Xander’s focus never wavered, and it was clear that his new best friend would arrive sooner or later.
What he didn’t know was that his dream would come true much sooner than he expected, thanks to a little secret his grandparents were keeping.
A Surprise Of Pure Bliss
Unbeknownst to Xander, his grandparents had heard about his efforts and decided to surprise him.
One day, they called to say they were coming to visit, and like any kid, Xander was thrilled. When they hinted at a special surprise, he grew even more excited, though he had no idea what was in store.

Expecting a toy or maybe a big candy, Xander was stunned when something moved slightly in his hands.
When he opened his eyes, Xander was overwhelmed with happiness—it was the puppy he had been dreaming of!
The adorable little dog in his arms brought instant joy, and Xander couldn’t hold back his tears. He hugged the puppy tightly, crying tears of pure joy.
His mother captured the entire heartwarming moment on video for everyone to see.

He named his new puppy Marshmallow, or “Mello” for short. In a way, it was symbolic—Xander had given up candies, but in return, he got something far sweeter and more meaningful.
Mello became Xander’s constant companion. They played together, went on walks, and even slept side by side.

The joy and love Mello brought to Xander’s life far exceeded any treat or toy, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
Xander’s sacrifice may have started with giving up sweets, but he ended up with a lifetime of love and happiness with his best friend.
