This is the adorable moment a golden retriever was given a new friend for Christmas. Minnie, one, gets frightened very easily and suffers from anxiety, prompting her owner to give her a puppy as an early Christmas gift on December 19. Nicolette Hall, 23, from Texas, is Minnie's owner and gave her golden retriever eight-week old pup Parker as a companion and confidence boost. Minnie initially seems unsure as to what to do and runs backwards, before approaching Parker and giving the puppy a sniff. Her tail is wagging the whole time, revealing how excited she is to have a new playmate.
