Christian Pulisic wanted to see his dog for Christmas, and these strangers made it happen

Miracle!

USMNT star Christian Pulisic got the best surprise for Christmas when the kindness of strangers allowed him to be reunited with his pup.

Pulisic, who arrived back in the U.S. for the holidays before returning to Borussia Dortmund, really wanted to see his dog before flying back. The only problem was he’d be in Washington, D.C., and the dog was in Hershey, Pa. — some two and a half hours away.

Luckily someone came the the rescue and saved Pulisic’s day.

It wasn’t long before Pulisic and his pooch were reunited — on Christmas eve, no less.

The upstanding citizens got plenty of props online.

This is so great.
