The video already has over 24,000 likes as viewers melted at Noah’s special birthday celebration. It begins with his deaf grandparents singing, and you can see Noah’s tail wagging frantically. He gets up to fetch a toy from a previous birthday, as if to kick off the celebration himself. Grandma gives him his first gift, which is lovingly wrapped in happy birthday paper. Noah nudges it open with his nose and finds a stuffed animal inside. Then Grandma hands over another gift and helps him unwrap it. Inside it is a small turtle and a starfish, both instantly become Noah’s favorite.
Grandpa joins in too, picking up toys from the gift bag and giving them to Noah while signing, “Wow, he’s 13 years old.” Noah is so glad to get all the love and attention from his grandparents that he just can’t stop wagging his tail.

Another said, “GOOD-NESS my face hurts from smiling! So much love from them to him and from him to them!!” Others chimed in: “OMG your parents are the best,” and “Oh my!! Who’s cuter??? Noah or your parents??”
By the time the video wraps up, Noah is surrounded by gifts, tail wagging, showing exactly why Labradors are family favorites.
