This is Athena, a two-year-old puppy with a heart of gold.
Maybe Athena's birthday was celebrated in private, but not by her family.
Instead, they made their dog's birthday extra special by surprising her with a unique gift.
Hayleigh Powell and her family lavished extra love and attention on their dog Athena all day long in honor of her birthday, saving the best for last.
A party isn't a party without some sweets and tunes.
Powell said to The Dodo, "I made sure the cake was a total surprise for her.
When the big reveal occurred, Athena was ecstatic.
Powell exclaimed, "It felt incredible to see her so happy." She must have felt very special, I think.
Without a doubt, Athena sensed the adoration. Even more impressive was the fact that it was a flavor she could detect.
To paraphrase what Powell said, "I want them to have the best possible experiences."
