The dream of Xander

Xander had a dream - a dream to have a little puppy as his best friend.

Nothing stopped him from making his dream come true. For 18 months, he saved his money.

The remarkable thing was that he stopped buying his favorite candies and yummy chocolates.

He was determined to save every penny he could for his dream.

Saving for a special friend

Xander's mother, Natalie Ellenburg, also helped him. When she came home from work, he would politely ask her for the change she had in her pocket and he would put it in his special piggy bank. Every penny counted, and Xander had a mission.

The big surprise

What Xander didn't know was that his grandparents had heard about his wonderful mission. They decided to make his dream come true, and they planned a big surprise. When they arrived in Springfield, they didn't come empty-handed.

An unforgettable day

Xander was overjoyed when he heard his grandparents were coming to visit. He was even more excited when he heard they had a surprise for him. As soon as their car pulled into the driveway, Xander couldn't wait to see what it was.

The unexpected gift

His mother asked Xander to close his eyes tightly as his grandparents got out of the car.

When they asked him to stretch out his arms, he thought he might get a candy or a nice toy car.

But when he finally opened his eyes, it was a complete surprise!

The cute puppy he had so longed for was in his arms, and it immediately brought the biggest smile to his face.

Shortly after realizing what was happening, Xander was overcome with emotion, and as he hugged him tightly, he began to cry. These were real tears of joy.

A new best friend

Xander named the puppy "Marshmallow" and he loved him more than any candy or chocolate in the world.

Marshmallow became his best friend and they did everything together.

They played, walked and even slept together.

Xander's dream had come true, and it was even better than he could have imagined.

Xander's story teaches us the power of determination, saving and the love of family. With the help of his grandparents, Xander's big dream became a reality.

And from that day on, he and Marshmallow had many happy adventures, making memories for life.
