Sarah Paulson's Pure Joy While Playing with Puppies Is Absolutely Contagious

She's so excited!

American Horror Stories star Sarah Paulson stopped by Buzzfeed to promote her new Hulu movie, Hold Your Breath, and played with some adorable puppies while answering questions about the movie! 

Just check out how hilariously excited she is. 

I love it when she closes her eyes and keeps asking "Are they here now?" She's just like we would be! 

The video caption reads, "

"To celebrate her new movie, “Hold Your Breath,” we had Sarah Paulson play with puppies while (trying) to answer a ton of questions. And yes, it’s as fun as it sounds. She discussed her new project as well as looked back on her time on “American Horror Story” and reflected on her Tony Award-winning run in “Appropriate.” She also revealed which former costar she’d love to work with again, what she’s stolen from sets, and much more. You can watch it all now!"

Paulson is visibly thrilled as the tiny Terrier mix puppies crawl all over her and she seems to be pretty enraptured with one she calls the shy one. Cuddling the little puppy she asks, "Are you the really shy one with all the big feelings?" And then she says, "I think this is heaven. Did I die? " 

One person in the comments said what we were all hoping with, "The shy one went home with her. At least in my dreams." Someone else replied, "I have always said in my heaven I will be surrounded by dogs." Sounds like heaven to me! Someone else added, "That is what heaven is. Playing with puppies “I am your mother!”

Actually, if she or anyone else was interested in adopting, October is a fantastic month to do so.
