In the sweet, clip, Wally is sitting with his mom on the back porch. As soon as he sports grandma's car, all bets are off. He immediately heads to the gate, almost staring in disbelief, that his favorite person has arrived.

"Hi!" Wally's grandma says as she begins to walk up the steps. At this point, Wally can barely contain his excitement. He's jumping up on the dog gate, with his tail is wagging like crazy. He is just so thrilled. What a treat!

His mom opens the the dog gate and Wally sprints down the stairs to greet grandma. As always, grandma came prepared with a present. This time, it was an adorable banana plush toy! Wally excitedly carries his new toy and leads grandma into the house. It's just too cute.
