There’s a special kind of joy in watching a dog realize the day is all about them — and Ollie, the ever-charming chocolate Labrador behind @good.boy.ollie, clearly gets it. In his birthday video, he struts into the mall wearing a tiny birthday hat and a matching bandana, looking every bit the gentleman on a mission.
The text reads, “Taking my dog to Build-A-Bear for his 11th birthday,” and honestly, it’s the sweetest kind of wholesome content. This isn’t Ollie’s first adventure, either — he’s the same pup with his own pumpkin patch, advent calendar, and even an activity jar. Of course, his big day had to be next-level.
Dog gets a Build-a-Bear workshop certificate on birthday in video
This cute video is an instant hit and has already gained nearly 300K likes. It shows Ollie strolling confidently through the mall, tail wagging as if anticipating the best day ever. Inside the Build-A-Bear store, he wastes no time picking out an orange teddy — a fitting choice for the dog who literally grows pumpkins in his backyard. The fun begins as Ollie gets to push the foot pedal, which, the text proudly tells us, he did “all by himself” to stuff the bear. His tail wags furiously; he is “so happy to be here.”
A few strangers stop to wish him happy birthday, and Ollie soaks it all in like the social pro he is. Then comes the big reveal — the bear’s official birth certificate. Name: Pumpkin. Born: November 4, 2025. Belongs to: Oliver. Once the paperwork’s done, Ollie insists on carrying his new friend out himself, briefly bagged before he decides Pumpkin rides better in his mouth.
The final moments show him back home, curled up with Pumpkin, chin resting softly on the toy. The caption reads, “Happy 11th Birthday beautiful boy,” and the comments are a collective love letter to this gentle soul. “He got an orange bear and named it Pumpkin because he has a pumpkin patch that he loves — I’m gonna go cry,” one person wrote. Another added, “He’s such an appreciative dog. I swear he was human once or literally sent by God.”
