This is the life changing moment a girl with hearing issues is surprised with her own service dog. Emily Huneycutt, 10, had been afraid of being left alone due to her genetic hearing loss condition which gets progressively worse has she gets older. Her condition had become so severe, she was afraid to go to the bathroom or shower alone. But after being surprised with a service dog called Piper, her life has drastically changed for the better - growing in confidence with the assistance of her furry helper. Video shows the moment her mom Angel hid Piper - a Yorkie - in a box, before calling out Emily’s name and asking why she hadn’t put away her clothes, usually stored in the box. A confused Emily obliges but upon opening the pink box is startled to see a cute Yorkie puppy with bowtie on her head sitting patiently inside. Overcome with emotion, she leaps backwards screaming “OH MY GOD!” Before adding at the top of her voice “I’ve got a puppy!”. Her startled mom continues to film as Emily cry’s tears of joy and hugs her new pooch.
