A family has been harshly criticized in the networks for “squandering” money in the celebration of their beloved puppy’s birthday. The comments and criticisms after the images were disseminated, do not seem to end.

For true animal lovers, having a furry dog at home is much more than just having a pet.

There are those who treat it as another member of the family and, within their possibilities, try to please those who make the normal, something extraordinary.

However, it seems that even if we have the best intentions, there will always be those who do not agree with our actions, and question the loving treatment we give to our dogs.

There are always reasons to celebrate and even more if it is the life of a puppy.

Recently, a family decided to celebrate the first birthday of their beloved furball named Justin. Since he came into the family, he has loved them and received twice as much love as he can give them.

Proof of this was the celebration they threw for him on his birthday. With colorful balloons, posters, a beautiful cake and various snacks, Justin celebrated his first birthday with the ones he loves the most.

Justin had his own portrait and birthday hat.

The dog’s owner, Joselyn Avila, shared through the group Huellitas de Amor, some pictures and a video, where, although at first glance it looked like a child’s party, it was created exclusively for Justin.

Joselyn wrote about it:

“I share with you a little get-together we had as a family for my Justin’s birthday. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to congratulate him.”

She never imagined that her puppy’s loving birthday celebration would be so criticized

However, and despite the best intentions they had to make the day special for Justin, many netizens questioned why they spent so much money when there are people with nothing to eat.

“Gentlemen, there are many hungry children and many elderly people with nothing to help them,” read one comment.

“It’s not wrong to love animals, but they go too far, it’s crazy”, “It’s great that they take care of their pets and give them love, but do you know how many children are starving and in need? For God’s sake, people, what kind of world are we living in?” said other netizens.

Following the strong comments, animal lovers were quick to respond and react in defense of the family who just wanted to make the pampered puppy happy:

“It’s how they feel about their pet and no one can judge if they are good people to others. They are not to blame for others living badly, that’s the social problem that no one can see anyone happy.”

“It will never be ridiculous to show love for a little animal, quite the contrary, it speaks that they are good human beings. If an animal moves you, imagine a human being. Good, very good. Congratulations,” commented another person.

“What a beautiful detail and how nice that they love the little furry one so much, they are part of the family. Happy birthday Justin.”

Despite all the controversy that has been created, we can’t deny that the happiest at the party of course, was the celebrating pooch, who enjoyed all the attention and even danced with one of the kids in the family.

Trying to please the world will never be easy, therefore, our actions must always be directed to help and give love to all living beings, and this is what this beautiful family did.

Unfortunately, on social networks, many people take the audacity to question the behavior of others, criticizing them and even saying offensive things to them that they would never dare to say face to face.

We need a more empathetic and respectful world, what we are sure of at Zoorprendente is that this lucky little dog has a loving family like all animals deserve.
