Adopted Pit Bull Is in Awe After Seeing Christmas Tree Light up for the First Time
- Olive, a 2-year-old rescued Pit Bull, had a heartwarming reaction to seeing a Christmas tree light up for the first time.
Meet Olive, a 2-year-old rescued Pit Bull, who Jen and Jonathan adopted in August. She’s been spoiled ever since, and they love sharing all her “firsts,” from trying an ice cream cone to seeing the Christmas tree light up for the very first time. It’s exactly the kind of wholesome content we’re all here for.
The video is short—only about 7 seconds—but it’s easily the sweetest thing you’ll see today. Olive is sitting beside the tree when her mom switches on the lights, and the look on her face is absolutely precious, full of pure Christmas wonder!
Olive's mom said in the caption, "I can’t with how sweet she is. We don’t deserve dogs." We couldn't agree more!
