It is not uncommon for people to consider their pets as part of the family. Before you realize it, your dog is your best friend that has stolen your heart and become like one of the family.
Of course, you look forward to celebrating the birthdays of your loved ones and giving them birthday presents to show how much you care. With family members, a birthday marks a milestone that normally calls for celebrating the special occasion with a party or at the very least remembering the day with a cake or a gift of some kind.
If you value your dog as a part of your family, then he surely deserves a birthday party like any other family member. Even if you do not plan to throw a birthday party, a present or birthday cake or special doggie treat would be a fun time for the entire family and your dog.
