Pet owners always find ways to spoil their furry friends, but birthdays are extra special occasions. Take Apollo the Pit Bull, for instance. He recently celebrated his birthday at Dunkin’ with a delightful pup-cup treat. The 24-year-old owner, Alysha, captured the heartwarming moment when staff serenaded Apollo with a rendition of “Happy Birthday,” making his day even more special.
Apollo’s birthday bash at Dunkin’ was caught on camera and shared on TikTok (@apollothebluenose), quickly captivating the hearts of over 3.3 million viewers. The clip, showing Apollo in his birthday hat, garnered more than 520,000 likes.
Sophy, Apollo’s owner, shared this heartwarming moment saying, “We visit our local Dunkin’ Donuts every week, and it’s our family tradition. Apollo loves it here, and the staff always make him feel welcome.”
Pets are more than just animals; they’re family. According to YouGov, nine out of ten owners consider their pets as part of the family. It’s no wonder we like to spoil them to show our love. From sharing our beds with them to throwing birthday parties, we love making them feel special.
