When it is okay to lie to your kids? When you tell them you’re going shopping but it’s really a stealth pet adoption!

These parents told their three kids they were going Christmas shopping, but they actually had arranged to meet a foster dog who was out on a field trip with her foster mom.

The foster mom told the kids the dog was there to meet with a family who was interested in adopting her, and the whole thing started to seem a little sad.

Until, that is, the kids’ mom confessed they were the family interested in the dog, and the whole thing was a set-up!

If you’re short on joy in your life, just wait until you see the reaction of the kids and this lucky dog!

So, do the Happy Adoption Dance for them, and have a wonderful #FeelGoodFriday!
