This Dog Got So Excited That People Remembered Her Birthday

Meet Athena — a sweet girl who just had her second birthday.

Though her birthday could have passed without much ado, Athena's family wouldn't dream of it. Instead, they decided to give their pup a special surprise to make sure her birthday would be one for the books!

Athena's owners, Hayleigh Powell, and her family made sure to give their pup an extra dose of love and affection all day on her birthday, but they saved the best part for last. After all, no birthday would be complete without a song and some cake.

"I kept the cake a complete surprise from her, making sure she didn’t see it,"

When it came time for the big reveal, Athena couldn't have been happier:


"It felt amazing seeing her so happy," Powell said. "I definitely think she felt special."

Athena could feel the love, no doubt. And she could taste it, too.

For Powell, Athena and her dog siblings aren't just pets — they're family. So, it only makes sense to celebrate their birthdays in style.

"I want them to have the best experiences they can have," Powell said.
