Young girl bursts into tears as she unwraps puppy for Christmas

This is the sweet moment a little girl cried as she got the gift of a puppy.

Footage taken in Frisco, Texas, on December 17, shows the girl crying happy tears as she unwraps the present.

Claire Hammer, 7, had been desperate for a puppy for years and was amazed when her wish finally came true.

In the footage, she strokes Nola Rose, the now two-month old puppy, and cries.

Her mother Janee Hammer, asks her 'is she cute?' while overwhelmed Claire continues to cry with happiness.

Mrs Hammer says 'You can pick her up' and Claire then reaches to hold her.

She then asks if she loves her new pooch and Claire says 'yes'.

Claire and her mother both have fur allergies but the family discovered Goldendoodles- a retriever-poodle mix- are hypoallergenic.

Mr and Mrs Hammer got Nola Rose and presented her to their daughter as a surprise.

Mrs Hammer said: 'I was crying right along with her.

'She has been asking for a puppy for as long as I can remember, she is absolutely crazy about dogs.'

The couple picked up Nola on December 17 and couldn't keep the wiggly pooch secret for long, so Claire's brother Ben Willett,15, quickly popped her in a box outside their front door and rang the doorbell.

When Claire answered, she burst into tears of joy in a now-viral video.
