A Puppy For Christmas — Matthew Angelo

Zach is a nurse struggling to pay the bills as his partner Andy continues to finish his college degree. Even though they have everything they need, Zach wants Andy to have the best Christmas he has ever had. After getting locked out of their car, and having to ask a pet store owner for a hanger, Zach finds the one thing that would do it, in the bundle of fear of a husky puppy. Knowing he can't afford, he regretfully says no. Zach heads to work for a shift he regretted taking, and Andy is left home alone pondering his gift for Zach. Zach opens up to a co-worker about wanting to ask Andy to marry him on Christmas day and how he has saved up for months to afford an engagement ring. On his way home, he stops and makes a purchase that will make this Christmas the best for both of them.
