Delivery Woman Goes the Extra Mile to Celebrate Dog’s Birthday

A delivery woman went the extra mile to help celebrate a dog's birthday.

Everyone has a birthday, a specific date on the calendar that marks our entry into the world. Whether someone recognizes or celebrates them is an entirely different story, but those dates still happen yearly. Some may want to ignore them and act as if they don't occur, but that will never be a successful strategy.

For most people, a birthday is not a big deal. It is simply another date on the calendar. However, there is one group of people who love their birthdays and want everyone to know when it's their birthday: children. They love everything about their birthday – the cake, candles, presents and the party.

A sweet video shows that children may not be the only creatures on Earth who enjoy birthdays. Dogs are also big on celebrating and recognizing the day of their birth.

In the clip posted on YouTube, a woman dropping off a package at someone's front door finds a large pad of paper with several messages. The messages inform her that today is the homeowner's dog's birthday, and unfortunately, he will not be home to celebrate it with the animal.

So, to help the homeowner out, the woman goes above and beyond. She does exactly as the messages instruct her. She dons a chicken suit and walks into the house as she sings "Happy Birthday" to the pup.

The dog is overjoyed to see the woman in the giant chicken costume come through the door and give it some attention and love. 

That's a very special woman. Not many people would have done that for someone they don't know. Most people would have taken the $200 and left. She did all of that to make a dog feel a little less lonely on its big day.

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you."
