New York Woman Lies To Husband About Working Late, Then He Spots What’s Hiding In Her Car

woman surprises husband with new puppy

Okay, imagine this: your partner says they’re working late and might stop by the store after. Totally normal, right? But then, instead of walking in with groceries, they show up with a tiny, wiggly, floppy-eared surprise.

Yeah… that’s exactly what happened to Ryan Hunt from Marcellus, New York.

Jayme, his wife, had the biggest secret ever brewing behind that calm “I’ll be home late” text. She wasn’t actually heading to work overtime; she was on a mission. A puppy mission.

You see, Jayme and Ryan already had one golden retriever named Rip, a goofy 6-month-old who had the whole “only child” energy going on.

So when they stumbled across a Facebook post about a puppy who needed a home, they both got that look, the one dog lovers know too well.

But they had promised each other no second dog. Not yet.

Still, the little guy’s face lingered in Jayme’s mind. And when Ryan jokingly said he “wouldn’t be mad if some money went missing for another puppy,” Jayme took that as all the green light she needed.

A few days later, she was secretly planning her trip to Utica to pick up the pup, while pretending it was just another long workday.

She shared in an interview:

“Ryan asked if we were really going to get him and I told him absolutely not (even after I had already told the lady yes). I went to work the next day, told him I was working late and then stopping at the store for a Halloween costume. Instead, I drove to Utica, got the little guy and surprised him with him when I got home.”

When she finally pulled into the driveway, she called Ryan out to help her unload the “bags.” He had no clue what was coming.

As he walked up to the car, ready to grab some groceries, he froze… There in the passenger seat was a 3-month-old puppy staring up at him.

For a moment, Ryan was speechless, and you could practically see his brain trying to process what was happening. But that shock turned to pure joy in seconds.

Any thought of missing cash or broken promises vanished the moment he met Dozer, the new little member of their family.

Jayme caught the whole thing on video, from Ryan’s confused face to his melt-into-a-puddle reaction, and posted it on TikTok.

It blew up almost instantly, racking up millions of views and thousands of sweet comments. People couldn’t get enough of this surprise puppy moment.

Since then, Dozer has settled into the family perfectly. He and Rip are already inseparable. Jayme added:

“Rip is more of a daddy’s boy and Dozer is quickly becoming a momma’s boy. But of course, we love them both equally.”

It’s amazing how one little surprise can change the whole rhythm of a home.

What started as a sneaky plan turned into a story filled with love, laughter, and way too many cuddles to count.

Because honestly, life’s just a little sweeter when there’s one more set of paws in it.
