There’s something disarming about opening a video and finding three dogs sitting on high chairs around the kitchen island — large cupcakes in front of them. That’s the scene waiting on @pittiescommittee’s page. In it, Mary, Brandy, and Brody, the Pitties, are dressed in tiny birthday hats marked with their initials. Each of them has a cupcake with glowing candles in front of them.
The fur babies have turned four, and their humans are gathered around the island, starting up a cheerful rendition of “Happy Birthday.” And the whole setup feels less like a dog celebration and more like a full family milestone. It’s warm, funny, and the kind of moment you can’t help watching twice.
Owners celebrate dogs’ birthdays because ‘it’s their first time living too’
The video has already charmed thousands online, and it’s easy to see why. There’s something extra sweet about watching these three — a mix of curiosity, excitement, and quiet patience — all reacting in their own way as the singing begins. Moreover, the on-screen text sums it up: “POV: you celebrate your dog’s birthday like you would your own because it’s their first time living too.” Indeed, it’s a line that hits right in the soft spot for anyone who sees their pets as family.
Mary can barely contain herself. In fact, she keeps wagging so hard that she turns away from her cake. She seems to be overwhelmed by all the attention. And one of her humans has to coax her back toward her cupcake so the festivities can resume.
Brandy, meanwhile, is laser-focused on the goodies — his own and possibly Mary’s too. And Brody? He’s the serene one of the trio, sitting politely with the patience of a dog who has mastered the art of waiting for the “okay.”
The comments section is a full-blown birthday parade. People are sending wishes, laughing over the pups’ expressions. And even calling out how the two lilac pups look like they’re smiling, while “the big blue one just wants his cake already.” It’s adorable, chaotic, and exactly the kind of joy you hope to find when you’re scrolling.
