Lance posted the story in the about section of the video:

The Fuqua’s daughter, Hallee, had been asking for a dog for christmas for years.

They told her she would have to wait until after graduating college.

Hallee started working at the Humane Society in Stillwater where she fell in love with a dog named, you guessed it, Rambo.

Hallee’s mum and dad decided to surprise her by adopting Rambo and keeping it a secret for three whole weeks!

When Hallee found out Rambo was adopted by “someone” she was heartbroken.

So her parents surprised her with an early christmas present…

Hallee opens the door in the video and, in a moment where you could hear a pin drop, everything clicks!

Rambo was her dog now and she was heartbroken no longer!

Hallee immediately breaks down, overwhelmed with joy! Lance lets go of Rambo’s leash and the two reconnect, happy as ever!

Rambo freaks out when he sees Hallee, he clearly loves her so much!

I can’t say I’ve ever seen tears that are quite so happy!

It must have been such a massive feeling of relief for Hallee to know that Rambo wasn’t adopted by someone she would never meet or see again!

And now Rambo has an owner who loves him more than anything, who can take him on beautiful adventures and give him everything a happy dog needs!

The video only gets cuter once Hallee’s siblings come out to see Rambo as well!

Everyone is so surprised and happy!

And Rambo gets absolutely showered in love!

We understand that sometimes you just need a minute to ompose yourself Hallee, don’t you worry!

Seeing how much Hallee loves Rambo, the Humane Society of Stillwater seems like a perfect place to work!

Their whole philosophy of work is one of love!

“Our mission is to facilitate the placement of stray and unwanted animals and pets in desirable homes; to establish and maintain an animal shelter and associated procedures which promote the health, care and handling, and prevent over population of cats and dogs.

“The animals in our care are never euthanized merely because we lack space or because the animal’s stay with us has exceeded a predefined amount of time.

“We spay/neuter and vaccinate all of the animals in our care and do our best to give them a loving home until they are adopted into a home of their own.”
