Girl Overjoyed To Get Doll With Prosthetic Leg Like Her Own

CYPRESS, Texas (CBS/AP) — A video of a 10-year-old girl receiving an American Girl doll with a prosthetic leg to match her own has been viewed more than 10 million times on Facebook.

The video posted by Courtney Bennett shows her daughter Emma shouting, "You got to be kidding me," before hugging the doll and breaking down into tears.

Emma was born with a birth defect and has used a prosthetic leg most of her life. Her parents say she always wanted a doll that looked just like her, so they bought an American Girl doll and sent it to a company called A Step Ahead Prosthetics to have it outfitted with a prosthetic limb leg Emma's.

In a statement on its website, the New York company says it provides the service for free to little girls with limb loss.
