Stories like this just make me smile. An elderly man, according to his grandchild, is "completely in love" with English bulldogs. He'd been talking to his wife forever about getting one, but his wife was afraid it would make too much of a mess and be too hard to take care of, so she kept saying no.

Eventually the grandkids talked her into it, and together they chose the perfect dog for their grandpa. The best part? They surprised him with it and caught his reaction on video. 

It's obvious from the video that it's love at first sight for both the dog and grandpa.

So sweet!
