Family Throws A Surprise Birthday Party For Its 13 Y.O. Senior Dog And He Can’t Believe They Remembered
There should be no surprise as to why dogs are considered man’s best friend. Their unconditional love, loyal companionship, and the fact that they greet us with extreme joy as we return home from work are just some of the many reasons why they’re awesome.
So it is hence natural for us to reciprocate and to make our beloved doggos feel as special as they make us feel happy. And this can come in many shapes and forms.
A family from Perth, Australia recently honored their family dog by throwing him a surprise birthday party with a cake and everything! And, oh my, the little pupper couldn’t contain his happiness.

Katie D’Souza recently shared a video and some photographs commemorating the birthday of their family dog named Bailey. Bailey turned 13 years old (that’s about 68 in dog years) on February 5th and received an awesome surprise.
The whole family threw a surprise birthday party for the senior dog. You’d better believe that it included the entire package: a full-blown cake, the blowing out of the candles, a full birthday song, a birthday kiss, and even gifts!

In the video, the family is seen singing the traditional Happy Birthday song while little Bailey is bursting with excitement—shuffling around on his chair, glancing at his owners, giddy with anticipation to have a go at the cake before him.
The Facebook post included the caption “Happy 13th birthday to our boy BAILEY! He brings us so much joy and we love him heaps!” And while Bailey, like many dogs, does not grasp the concept of a birthday, he still appreciates his family’s love in ways that are beyond adorable.

This was their way of showing their endless love and saying ‘thank you’ to Bailey for bringing them much joy

For those wondering what Bailey got for his birthday (apart from the cake), it was a hot-dog chew toy, as seen in one of the photos included in this article. That smile says it all, folks!
If you now have a thirst for seeing more animals celebrating their birthdays, Bored Panda has an entire list prepared for you, and if you want more doggy-related news, Bored Panda recently covered a story about Frosty the Mini Australian Shepherd who got into a predicament and had to be saved from his own poop.
Here is the video of the family singing Happy Birthday and Bailey getting super excited
The internet thought it was adorable, with some sharing about their own doggy birthday parties
This is lovely, but I'm not sure why they had to preface it as a "surprise" party. I mean, frankly, aren't ALL birthday parties a surprise to a dog?
Karen, a dog does not know what's the occasion for that special attention, he just enjoys it ....and is immensely grateful for it.

HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY, BAILEY! He looks so happy in the photos. I think pets know when they are loved just by the gestures of their humans.
He looks more confused than happy, to me. Eager at first because "fooood!" but then "wait, can I eat this or not? you're going to let me eat this, right???!" until the video ends...
If you never had a birthday party you would be confused and taken aback by all that special attention too.....but, I dare say you would be extremely happy.

Such a cute dog! I can tell he loves his birthday by the big smile on his face.
BRAVO and a very HB to you Bailey We celebrate all of our dogs birthdays on June 20, so no one gets slighted. I make them a special cake with their favorites, spaghetti, cooked carrots, brown rice, pease and green beans the icing is mashed sweet potatoes. and they go nutz....Wish we could do this for all of HIS creatures, especially those in shelters, homeless, abused etc. Help them ALL folks they are HIS creation from the smallest to the largest of the land, air and sea.

I love BP's introduction to this post. That's how it should be, sadly, it isn't so. So many animals suffer immensely at the hands of despicable, evil people - and don't forget that farm animals are sentient beings too. Please get involved and fight against animal cruelty where ever it occurs, for the sake of animals and our own. "Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will NOT himself find peace." - Albert Schweitzer. It's simple as that.
