Man Rents A Whole Billboard To Let People Know It’s His Dog’s Birthday
Most of us want to give the best gift for dogs, especially if it’s a special occasion like their birthday. One guy went completely out of his way to cheer up his adorable dog for his first birthday party and decided to rent out an entire billboard. After all, if it’s a celebration like this, why not let the whole world know about it with a billboard ad?
YouTuber Maxx Chewning thought it’s the perfect opportunity to go all out and spend some real dollars on a very special and very expensive birthday present for his pooch buddy. “I don’t even have a girlfriend so I’m not spending any money on that, so why don’t I spend it all on my cute dog?” Chewning explained the reasoning behind putting up a large poster of his dog’s photo in a YouTube video.
Bored Panda reached out to Chewning for more information and he responded with details on his and Dood’s life. “After living in Virginia my entire life (29 years), I picked up my businesses and moved halfway across the country to pursue bigger and better things in Texas,” he told us. “I knew that with this new chapter in my life, I was ready to get a best friend right as I turned 30 years old. I looked online for a breeder in Texas and found one with one Goldendoodle left in a litter of six boys,” Maxx explained. He also mentioned that no one chose Dood and he was the only one left. “Dood was waiting for me to arrive and as soon as I walked in and saw him, I knew he was perfect.”

The man recorded the entire day from start to finish to showcase just how special it was not only for doggy Dood, but also him. The duo started their day off with a healthy and energized walk, followed by a weighing (Dood’s 60 pounds!) session which was crowned by a delicious puppuccino from Starbucks. Puppuccino is a treat that Starbucks offers for their customers’ four-legged friends and it’s simply whipped cream, no coffee or tea or any of that jazz.
Then the pair went to check out the big gift! As Chewning’s car rolled up to a local gas station, a giant blue billboard emerged in their view. On that billboard was none other than Dood, next to giant letters that spelled out “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DOOD!!!’ Now that’s what we call a surprise! Although we have no doubt that Dood would appreciate the gesture, even Maxx himself mentions that unfortunately, dogs can’t read. Despite that, the billboard let the entire city know that it was a day for celebration!

“Since I film my life on YouTube and everyone has seen Dood grow up from a puppy, I knew I wanted to go over the top with him turning 1 year old,” the man explained his choice. “I walked into the office one day and asked my employee to find out how we can rent a billboard because I want the entire town to know it is his birthday. The billboard company had never heard of anything like this and they were excited for something creative/fun to be on their digital screen.” Maxx also revealed that they got Dood a custom cake, “He gets spoiled every day, so basically his birthday is all the time.”

As for everyone’s reaction? “Everyone could not believe that I rented a billboard, and they all said they have never heard of anyone doing such an over-the-top type of gift for their dog. They also said it makes perfect sense because of how over the top my personality is,” Chewning detailed, “Dood was his normal jolly self, he also can’t read so I am not sure he knows what it said.”
Maxx says his YouTube channel is an outlet for him to share his journey of life. “I share everything with my audience, including ups and downs of life, business, fitness, food, and of course my dog,” he told us, “Dood has become such a star of my channel that people are actually bothered if he is left out of a video, haha.”

Dood also received a puppy cake for his special occasion as well as a trip to a pet store where he was allowed to pick out some toys and delicious treats. Chewning ended the video with a heartfelt montage of Dood’s first year of life, from when Maxx got the pooch to the current day. We are looking forward to what surprises Dood’s following birthdays are going to offer!

I’m gonna ruin ur day here: in Dutch ‘dood’ means death. Yes, come on, downvote this comment!
Why? You taught us a word and education is amazing! Thank you. Although, it does give that "Finding Nemo" a new meaning. Remember that part where Marlin was passed out and Crush was Calling him, "Dude"? Ha!!

30 yrs old and goes to a breeder. What no animal shelter dogs for your dumbo? Wow could have gone onto the AKC website and gone to dog specific breeds who show rescue breeders so if you wanted a Saint Bernard, you click on the link and will see beauties needed re homing, due to death of their owners etc. Sorry p**s away 5-10K on a billboard when that money could have saved so many animals. JERK.
A birthday billboard advertisement for a dog! What a wonderful idea! Now the entire world comes to know about his cute dog through this innovative billboard advertisement. In my professional experience, I believe billboards to be an effective form of advertising. https://www.maximedialv.com/ creates attention-seeking billboards for any business.
I'm really over this trend of people treating their pets like their also people. Think of all that good at money he spent could have done? I guarantee the dog gives two shits about all of this.
Yeah, I'm sure THE DOG was just beside himself with glee! Give me a freakin' break. I bet he broke out in tears reading your heartfelt card, too. What an enormous waste of money. You could have given a donation in Dood's name to any pet charity, I'm pretty sure his (non)reaction would have been about the same. No, it's not cute - it's stupid.
When I rented Billboard space it cost my firm 5-20K, depending on location etc. So just say he wasted 5K, just think what 5K for an animal shelter could have done, his dogs name, his name could be on a permanent plaque etc. When you have that kind of money to waste sorry that is not the right thing. I mean HB to the dog but someone smack this jerk in the back of his head for wasting that kind of money, when that money could have saved so many animals. Worthless moron, hope IRS visits him real soon!
In case anyone sees this and has enough money to waste on things like this... If you're going to throw away your money, at least throw it my way so I can buy some groceries or something.
Maxx Chewning sounds like when the whole country is watching the same TV programme
The Dood doesn't care about that billboard. Could have saved a bunch of dogs in kill shelters but sure, Happy birthday Dood!
Why the "kill shelters" part? You're implying that you think that kill shelters, well, kill more pets than other shelters. There's a post on here that explains it nicely, but kill shelters have to take in each and every pet they come by while other shelters can refuse them.
