Elderly woman celebrates her 89th birthday surrounded by the affection of her 10 dogs
Many people rely more on the affection of their pets than on their human relatives: there are many, in fact, who think that "animals are better than humans". We are sure that many of you will agree with this and will appreciate the way in which the subject of this story - an 89-year-old lady named Maria - celebrated her birthday. Maria decided to surround herself with the affection of her beloved dogs and to have a little party in their company (as well as her daughter and some relatives). The video of the elderly lady quickly went viral on the internet.

Maria celebrated her 89th birthday with a very special party at home: most of the guests were her beloved dogs. In a video posted on Instagram, Maria can be seen sitting at a festively decorated table in the company of her 10 dogs - all behaving themselves. While the dogs are waiting for a treat, the "happy birthday" song can be heard in the background, being sung by Maria's daughter and a handful of other relatives.
It is clear that this woman treats her dogs as full members of her family, denying them nothing. It's not easy to manage 10 dogs - especially for an 89-year-old woman - but it doesn't seem to matter to Maria at all, quite the contrary. Maria is very grateful to have their company.
The video shows a table covered in pink decorations and different types of food - both for dogs and humans. All the lady's dogs are seated around the table and show impeccable manners: no dog dares to go near the food. Maria is seen clapping her hands and it looks like she is celebrating one of the best birthdays of her life. We can't help but wish her all the best for the future and many birthdays to come!
