This is a memory that will stay with this kid forever. I love it when he says, “And I just got a video game”. A puppy and a game must feel like winning the lottery to him.

That struck me too. He has the right idea regarding gifts, that they're not something you're owed but something you get as and when there's a reason, and if you've earned it. I used to tell my kids when they were young, "I want, doesn't get." If they asked for sweets at the supermarket, the answer was no. (Money wasn't something I had much of, especially when they were young.) However, if they behaved themselves in the shop, and didn't ask, I'd find a way to get them _something,_ to show how I was happy with them and their behaviour. They did pretty well with me! It paid off in the end because out of the four of them, not one threw any tantrums throughout their childhoods, including their teenage years, if we said we couldn't afford to get them what they wanted. They just accepted it and were grateful for what they did get. I'm so proud of them for that, even now the eldest is 32! Little Rowan is going to go the same way as mine, I think. Those who have pets have rescued them all. I am sure that Rowan's insistance in knowing where Pumpkin was from was because he wanted to rescue a pup, not spend a fortune at a bad breeder (or even a good one!) He's definitely going to be a responsible young man, and he's got the best friend he's ever going to have. I couldn't be happier for him

Rowan will never forget a thing! ❤ Although I'm 60 I remember every detail from when I was 3+ and my dad brought home my best friend-even the jacket he was wearing because he hid her inside, zipped against his chest. When he pulled her out-wow, what a moment! Penny* died after my freshman year of college. Grateful to say my dad is still alive and super sharp at 95, although he doesn't remember the jacket lol. *For those my age, Penny was named for the "Lost in Space" character.

@@athorpe1937 I couldn't agree more! This was such a heartwarming video on so many levels...from the dad recognizing that he has an exceptional kid, to Rowan keeping his word, as well as Rowan's impressive narrating skills. That wee lad is so far ahead of his age and it's clear that his father is doing a proper good job at raising him! Aloha to Rowan & his entire ohana from Honolulu! 😄❤️🐶
Can we talk about how rad Rowan is? Like his letter was particularly wholesome and very well composed, and it shows politeness and love, and feels so genuine. Also the way he read it aloud was very nicely performed too. Truly a special kid indeed.

I can watch movies or series without the subtitles. My problem is just speaking. It really bothers me a lot, i can understand everything but can't speak fluently. How can i improve it. I'm open to any advice. Thanks in advance.

The fact that a 7 year old is so articulate not only in his letter but also the way he reads his letter out is just impressive to me! Rowan is a very bright child indeed! He is so well spoken and his speech is incredible - he can read with such animated expression and is able to demonstrate a variety of tones already! I couldn't even talk this clearly or even write so well when I was 7 years old! I am so happy to see Rowan and his family gain a new family member - dogs do teach kids responsibilities because the same thing happened to me when I got my first pupper as a teenager! Sending lots of love to Rowan, Pumpkin and his family!

I love how before getting the puppy Rowan is all about how responsible he’ll be, and signs his letter “your responsible son”. After getting the puppy: Dad: You’re gonna learn a lot of responsibility from him! Rowan: That’s gonna be hard! 😂😂😂
"Well you're a special kid" what a great dad ❤️🐾❤️
Oh my goodness, this is such a precious video! Rowan is indeed a special kid with a large, loving heart. He and Pumpkin will have many years together as best friends, Rowan's dad truly is awesome for teaching his son all about responsibility by allowing him to live out his letter. My heart is melting over and over. What a wholesome video, thanks to the Dodo.
Oh my goodness that was so sweet and for him to even acknowledge that he just got a video game also, wow!! What an amazing young man This world definitely needs more young people raised up like that!! Great job Dad!!
What a wonderful little boy and what a lovely dad. Made my heart sing.
OH my gosh this is SO cute! The little boy is so kind and gentle with his puppy. It's like they were made for eachother!!! You could tell the second the puppy was placed in his arms they knew they were buddies for life :)
“He’s such a kind, thoughtful and generous kid”. Yup, takes after his dad. ❤️

Dad is doing an amazing job raising an amazing young man. Rescuing that cutie little pupper will teach his son so many important values & he’ll learn to be responsible to not just himself, but to others. We can see he’s already a respectful & kind young man and Pumpkin is a very lucky boy.🐾🐾💙
This melts my heart of how the kid became so calm of getting his puppy and bless his heart for taking good responsibility of pumpkin.
This little boy is so wonderful, he absolutely loves and respects his puppy and loves that baby to pieces!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ he’s just an excellent human being!!!!!!!
I love that he wanted the responsibility and is following through. What a great kid.
How could you not reward such an amazing, well-written letter like that!? Rowan nailed all the bullet points...even picking up the "gross poop" 😂
Well done best of luck beautiful puppy ❤❤❤
Beautiful story, so heartwarming! Rowan is a very sweet, kind and gentle boy just as his dad says. Excellent, heartfelt letter. Rowan and Pumpkin will be best buds forever! Thank you for sharing this! 🐕😊💖
That letter is everything. Rowan doesn't know it yet, but his existence in itself is what keeps his dad's heart pumping, that letter will forever be one of the most precious items in his possession🤍😍💐🤍🤍
Gosh..... "We just got a video game." He appreciates the things given to him. Such a wonderful kid.....❤
Both Rowan and Pumpkin are very adorable, hope they grow up well together 🥰
That “Thank you Daddy” so heartwarming ❤
A puppy is always so good for kids ❤️ now he has a brother he can rely on to always be there for him, up and down. And he can learn some responsibility, take him for walks, and play outside with Pumpkin. Dogs are incredible creatures 😊
We had a Corgi lived to 14 yrs old & joined our Mom 1 month later after she died. He missed her & no longer by her side everyday & night in her latter years. This boy sounds so smart, kind, unbelievable sweet & responsible! Reason is he's modeling his close male role model - his Dad! Amazing Loving Wonderful Dad produces an Amazing Loving Wonderful son! We Loved this Amazing sweet video! U made our day! Thx U 4 Blessing our Hearts! GOD BLESS U❤
Aww, his reaction when his dream comes true is so cute!
You gotva special young man right there. You should be very proud. AND THANKS FOR MAKING IT A RESCUE PUP💖😚🐶
I had happy tears watching Rowan got his request of a Corgi puppy and they are so cute together. And huge respect for his Dad. Wish them all the best ❤
His little “Thank you, daddy.” And “But I just got a video game.” What a sweet boy.
They're going to grow up within each other and be best friends for all of Pumpkins life. They will be inseparable. I think Rowan has a bright future, probably as a negotiator!!😂 Every kid deserves a dog, and every dog deserves a kid!❤❤
I love this kid. The fact he was almost worried that he had already gotten a video game alongside the puppy was too much. he’s so adorable and very clearly not spoilt
What a mature and thoughtful kid ! He really deserves to meet Pumpkin 💚
Pumpkin is absolutely adorable. The relationship, respect and love that you and your son have for each other is inspiring, just beautiful.
I have tears in my eyes! An amazing boy you have there! So kind, gentle and loving! You’ve done a wonderful job in raising him. And thank you for adopting (not purchasing) sweet Pumpkin - setting a great example once again by saving a life! Wishing you, Rowan and Pumpkin many years of happiness!! 🩵🩵🩵
Somebody is cutting onions again! The way they rubbed noses and then the little guy said 'This is the best day of my life' was so beautiful! These two soulmates are going to have such amazing adventures and they will be best friends for life. Cherish adorable Pumpkin. I know you will. Great job Dad!
First of all, this kid is a genius. His letter is insanely well-written for a 7-YEAR-OLD! He's also so sweet and funny. I hope Rowan and Pumpkin have a very long and happy friendship. Nice job, dad!

They don't call it man's best friend for nothing and in this case, little boys best friend.

Lovely boy! No screaming- such a gentle loving person. Great dad!

I'm so impressed by Rowan & his father's parenting style and I think the world is a better place with these two individuals in it. 😄

What a sweet kid. Dad has clearly done a wonderful job molding him into a little gentleman.
OMG, Rowan is such an amazing child who's so smart, responsible & very respectful towards his dad. He has demonstrated his promise in his letter to his dad with such promise & aplomb! If the dad is a single parent raising Rowan all by himself, then I think he did a phenomenal job in raising Rowan & now Pumpkin who is a blessing addition to their loving family.❤❤❤
Now I know I have a heart because it's melting all over my insides💓. It's hard to out do a puppy for cuteness, esp. Pumpkin, but your son managed to pull it off. A beautiful child who, like you, will make a great dad some day and many other things as well! 🥰
