Odin is a little dog with tiny paws, tiny ears, and a tiny tail that wags when he’s happy. Odin, on the other hand, was everything from little on the little pup’s big day.

Odin is currently residing in Mexico with Joyce Cetina and her family. Odin has showered the family with love and compassion every day since they adopted him three years ago.

As Odin’s birthday neared earlier this month, the Cetina family wanted to go above and above to celebrate. They surprised Odin with a party to express how much they respect him.

Odin was astonished — and moved — to learn that they remembered his birthday:

The Cetinas had purchased a dog-friendly cake and decorated it.The surprise was then disclosed to Odin.

Of course, no birthday would be complete without a happy birthday song — and Odin’s was no exception.

Here’s a video of Odin taking it all in (complete with his own special cake):

Odin was then given other gifts, which he also liked. “Above all,” Joyce added, “he appreciated the countless kisses and cuddles he received.”

Odin and other little dogs deserve nothing less.

Though it was Odin’s big day (or rather the anniversary of the day they adopted him), his family feels like they’ve received the greatest gift of all.
