Quick Smiles:
- A grandma receives her dream dog, a basset hound, for her birthday.
- The video of the surprise has captured the hearts of over 6.5 million TikTok viewers.
- The adorable puppy, now named Taffy, is set to become a cherished companion.
A delightful surprise unfolded when a grandma opened her front door to find an unexpected gift waiting for her—a basset hound puppy.
This charming moment was captured in a TikTok video shared by her granddaughter, Paige Mitchell (@paigemitchell__), and has since enchanted over 6.5 million viewers.
The video begins with a woman arriving at the grandma’s door, holding a mysterious box.
“Surprising our grandma with her dream dog,” reads the text overlaid on the clip.
Initially hesitant, the grandma’s curiosity eventually wins, and she opens the box to discover a white-and-brown puppy peeking out.
As the grandma reaches down to embrace her new furry friend, the text reveals, “she was immediately in love.”
The puppy, now named Taffy, has quickly become a beloved member of the family.
In response to a viewer’s question about another family pet, Mitchell clarified, “Sammy is my grandpa’s buddy! Mema needed her gal pal. Mema and grandpa have matching recliners, and now they both have dogs sitting with them.”
The presence of pets can be particularly beneficial for older adults.
A study led by Dr. Tiffany Braley from the University of Michigan Medical Center found that pet ownership can slow cognitive decline in older adults.
The research involved 1,369 adults with an average age of 65, and results showed that those who owned pets for five years or more had a cognitive score 1.2 points higher than non-pet owners after six years.
Basset hounds, like Taffy, are known for their laid-back nature.
According to the American Kennel Club, they are low-energy dogs that enjoy lounging but are also playful at times.
