Being a dog in 2025 means more than just chasing balls and napping. It can mean matching outfits, custom cakes, and themed parties that could rival a royal baby shower. One lucky Golden Retriever named Lady showed the internet how it is done with a video of her birthday celebration that was anything but ordinary.
Golden Retriever’s birthday party included lots of ‘tail wagging’ moments
The Instagram video, shared by user @ladyandtheblues, documents a magical birthday celebration for a Golden Retriever named Lady — and yes, it’s every bit as adorable as it sounds. The video opens with a cozy night-before-the-party scene where Lady’s dad presents her with a dog-friendly cake. She sniffs it curiously, trying to figure it out. The next morning, things kick into full party mode. Lady appears in a glittery unicorn skirt as people begin setting up a unicorn-themed celebration in the backyard.
As balloons, unicorn cutouts, and colorful decorations fill the space, Lady eagerly explores the setup. She even receives plenty of snuggles from her human baby sister, who is also dressed in a matching unicorn outfit.
Soon, other Golden Retriever friends arrive to join in on the fun, and just when it couldn’t get any cuter, a full-sized unicorn mascot makes an entrance. The birthday girl is seen sitting proudly on a chair like royalty while the unicorn “serves” her cake, which she happily devours. The day ends with Lady stretched out under the sun, eyes closed, looking completely content with her big day.
The caption of the video reads “Lots of tail wagging,” and the numbers speak for themselves. The clip has been viewed over 6.8 million times and liked by nearly half a million users. Many people left warm reactions in the comments section, with one viewer writing, “She’s like ‘It’s my special day!! All about me!’” Another touched commenter said, “Knowing that they don’t have a lot of years with us and you went the extra mile to make her day special.” One user summed it up best: “Lady deserves the world. You’re the best parents.”
