In her Brazilian home, Maria, this gentle grandmother, recently celebrated her 89th birthday.
The attendees are not only blood relatives but also very close friends, which makes them intriguing.
It was the kind of celebration that most people can only imagine. You see, Maria has a large animal friend group.

Ten happy and beautiful canines dwell in Grandma Maria’s home with her daughter and her daughter’s family.
Maria is the embodiment of kindness and love in their eyes. And she makes sure all her dogs have an abundance of it.
Vitoria Abencoada, Maria’s daughter, stated: ‘The house is quite active! She adores having animals in her home. She enjoys cuddling up to them.
So when Maria’s birthday came around, it was only natural that all those puppies would throw her a party.
The dogs joined Maria at the table as the celebration got underway. A birthday celebration wouldn’t be complete, of course, without a birthday song.
Amid all the love, Grandma Maria remained cheerful.
‘The dogs loved taking part in Grandma’s party,” stated Abencoada. They receive the same treatment as family members here. They take part in every activity.

There was also delicious food available, including treats for both humans and dogs.
Over her many years on Earth, Grandma Maria has surely had her fair share of joys and celebrations—possibly too many to count.
But due of her love of animals and their devotion to her, things have become better even after 89 years.
