An eight-year-old who thought she was unwrapping a soft toy dog for Christmas couldn't believe her eyes when the real puppy walked into the room behind her. Reagan Tessier, from Gilford, New Hampshire, was stunned when an eight-week-old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy trotted into her living room as she was holding a cuddly version of the pooch. According to Reagan's mom, Cori, she and her husband had a bit of a "YOLO" moment, deciding to adopt a playmate for their seven-year-old golden retriever, Teddy. The couple live on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, which is right next to a hiking mountain, Mount Major. And so, when Cori's husband, a diehard Kansas City Chiefs fan, found out Cori had received a call from her business partner to say she had come across Bernese Mountain Dog puppies for sale in Kansas, the couple took this as a sign. The business partners adopted two from the same litter – one each – and named them Winni and Major, after their nearby lake and mountain. Having collected their puppy, Major, Cori and her husband wanted to plan a surprise for Reagan, who is an only child and already had a close relationship with her "furry brother," Teddy. Just a few days before Christmas on December 19, Reagan opened a gift revealing a soft toy of a Bernese Mountain Dog. As she held the toy, Major, walked in, causing Reagan’s jaw to drop in shock – the pair then shared a sweet first hug, with Major’s tail wagging in delight.
