Meeting Santa as a little'un is a big deal.

Meeting Santa when you've spent your entire life playing with a toy version of him is something else entirely.

So, it's no real surprise that a one-year-old Shina Inu named Kya nearly lost her mind with excitement when her owners, siblings John and Angelina, decided to bring her to meet the man himself at the local mall

"She really loves her Santa, and she has to have it year-round,” 19-year-old Angelina told BuzzFeed. "Whenever we come home, she brings it to us."

With that in mind, John and Angelina packed Kya and their other dog Lucy in the car and prepared to meet Kya's hero.

And as you might expect, it went perfectly.

 

So I got a picture with santa and it kinda blew up on twitter go read the article on buzz feed in Bio

"She just sat there and looked at him,” Angelina said. “She usually misbehaves when we take her to Petsmart, but she was behaving for Santa."

Sharing the magic moment on Twitter, Kya managed to melt the hearts of thousands, with one writing: Why am I crying?"

"This is the best picture with Santa in the entire universe," added another one.

Ladies, you're welcome!
