Dog Has Saddest Reaction When No One Turns Up to His Birthday Party

A dog had the most heartbreaking of reactions in a recent TikTok video after his owner organized a birthday party for him that none of his canine friends showed up for.

It's not uncommon for pet owners to celebrate their four-legged friend's big day. A poll of 2,000 cat and dog owners conducted in 2022 by OnePoll on behalf of online pet retailer Zesty Paws found that 44 percent marked their pet's birthday with a party.

Pet birthday parties are usually a day to remember for any furry friend who can look forward to treats, plenty of petting and even a slice of cake or two in the company of family and close friends.

However, that wasn't the case for Halo the Brussels Griffon this year. In a video posted to TikTok by his owner (user @angelpawspups) earlier this month, it was revealed that none of Halo's pooch pals made it to his party, leaving him heartbroken as a result.

"Did nobody come to your first birthday?" his owner asks, incredulously, from behind the camera in the clip. It's a snub that evidently upsets Halo, who cuts a forlorn figure through the video, looking off despondently into the distance as his owner shows off the special birthday cake she had made for him.

Halo is unmoved though, appearing crestfallen at the lack of canine company at his big birthday bash.

Newsweek reached out to @angelpawpups on TikTok for comment.

TikTok Users React

He's not alone in feeling a sense of sadness at what's happened though, with many fellow dog lovers taking to the comments section accompanying the video, which currently has over 395,000 views, to express dismay.

"You don't need them anyways, king," one TikTok user wrote.

"We'd come if we're invited," another user commented. "I have 4 Poms, 1 Maltese, 1 Yorkie/ cocker. 6 new friends we love you. Happy birthday precious Angel."

A third, meanwhile, simply wrote: "I will come," while a fourth user declared: "They're just evil. I would have come. I hope he gets ALL the stuff."

Others were left welling up at Halo's lack of companions on his big day.

"All I do is cry on this app," one user commented, while another wrote, "Happy birthday, I'm crying right now."

A third TikTok user added: "Happy Birthday, that's so sad. I'm crying right now."

Viewers need not have worried too much about Halo's birthday plans though. In a follow-up video, @angelpawpups confirmed he still enjoyed a day to remember.

Halo's sister ended up coming over to celebrate with him while the young Brussels Griffon was also treated to a well deserved pup cup, which is "literally his favorite thing in the world."

He was then taken on a trip to the store where he picked out some dog toys and treats before heading off to his "favorite place"—the park where he made a new friend—and headed home "with a big smile on his face."
