That's where Abby stepped in. After receiving around $50 in birthday cards, she knew exactly how she was going to spend it. So while her big brother was at a sleepover, their mom took her to the pet store.
Touching video shows the moment Abby surprises her big brother with his very own hamster. The little boy is so overwhelmed that he can do nothing but hug his sister tightly and sob.
"Are you crying?" she asks him. "Because I am," she says, before burying her head in his shoulder.
"My children love to do nice things for each other, but it still amazes me and brings me so much joy when I witness their awesome connection and love for each other," mom Rachel Stout told INSIDE EDITION.
She said that she was touched by Abby's incredible kindness and she knew that Daniel would be overjoyed.
"I expected Daniel to be thrilled and extremely thankful," she said. "Daniel has a big heart and has no problem expressing his feelings. So while I didn't know he would react that way, I wasn't completely shocked.
"He loves his sister and he knows that her choosing to spend her birthday money on him rather than on herself was extremely selfless."
