A video of a US janitor being surprised with a puppy as a birthday present from his colleagues at work.

The footage, captured on November 17 in Howard County, Texas, shows Mr Green opening a box given by his co-workers and having a sweet reaction as he finds a cute Yorkshire Terrier inside.

At first, he doesn't know the puppy is for him:

''What is it?'', asks as he gently holds the dog in his hands.

At this point, a colleague says: ''It's a she. She is yours.''

Then he says:

''Really?''

''THANK YOU!''

The filmer later wrote online:

''Mr Floyd Green has been working with our bank for over 3 decades.''

''Our prosperity crew found out that his Yorkie died of old age so our staff decided to all pitch in and get him a new one for his birthday.''

''He is a sweet man and is the reason we look forward to Tuesday’s and Friday’s (the days he works with us),'' she added.
