Idiom: To have a change of heart; used as a verb

Example:
Maria: So what do you think of the puppy
now?
Neil: Now that he’s at home, I admit, he
is pretty adorable. And you’re right, we did have enough room for a pet.
Maria: I’m glad you had a change of heart. I know you didn’t want a dog at first, but I
think we made a good choice.
Neil: So do I.

Meaning: The expression «have
a change of heart» means that someone changes his/her mind on a
decision or opinion, usually from a negative to a positive. 
In the example
above, Todd has «had a change of
heart» because he didn’t initially want a pet.  But now that they have the
puppy, he’s happy about it.
