"The Present" by Jacob Frey follows the story of a boy and his new puppy.

This boy seems not unlike other boys - he plays video games, he gets annoyed
when his mom gets in his way, and he's fascinated by a gift she gives him in
a large cardboard box - but as we find out at the end of this video short,
there's more to him than we initially believe.

In the short film, which is based on a comic book strip by a Brazilian artist
named Fabio Coala Cavalcanti, the boy opens up a box from his mother to find
a small, excited puppy inside. The boy's joy, however, quickly turns to
disgust when he realizes the dog only has three legs.
