Sisters Emme and Ella of Michigan were surprised with an early Christmas present of a 10-week-old golden retriever.

Barclay and her husband told their daughters they were going to a Christmas party on Dec. 1, but actually snuck away to pick up Skye.

When they returned, they dropped Skye off with a neighbor, who put the dog in the gift box on the Barclays' front porch and rang the doorbell for Emme and Ella to answer.
