Caters Cash can be seen sniffing around the Christmas present as his owner brings the box into the room
The 12-year-old dog had been left devastated after his mutt companion Rosie died suddenly three years ago.
His owners decided to treat him this Christmas as an award for his good behaviour and to stop him from getting lonely.
Marie, from Ortonville, Michigan, filmed the moment her partner brought their new pet into the room.
Cash waits patiently at the door and starts excitedly circling the box as its put down on the carpet.
