A birthday celebration that changed everything

""""

No birthday is complete without a cake with a candle on top. Your one wish for the year, how will you use it, what will you wish for?

Maybe a new car or a vacation to Malibu, maybe a desire for world peace or infinite amounts of money?

Well, we know what a man wanted, as his dream came true almost as soon as the candles were blown out.

""""

A homeless man was seen throwing a humble birthday party for his two dogs, singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to them, giving them hugs and presenting them with cake, all while sitting on the steps of a public park, with no other means of shelter. But that will change soon.

As always, don’t forget to leave your thoughts below. Let’s get into the story!

Well, here’s something you don’t see every day! A man named Choco was sitting on some stairs in a local park with two dogs wearing party hats.

""""

One sunny afternoon, a man walking through a park in Bucaramanga, Colombia, saw a homeless man hosting what appeared to be a birthday party for his dogs.

The man named Choco was sitting on the stairs next to his companions Shaggy and Nena, almost as if he was enjoying the evening sun, however, the party hats on the pup’s heads told a different story.

They were celebrating Shaggy the puppy’s birthday. Cake and candles were revealed and he started singing ‘Happy Birthday’.

""""

The viewer decided to capture the event on camera and we are so glad he did as what happened next is truly moving.

Choco gave each of the sleepy pups some pets before revealing a small cake and candles. He then began singing a version of ‘Happy Birthday’ to his two companions.

It seemed like it was Shaggy’s birthday and Choco was throwing him a little party.

Two candles were lit on the small cake, the puppies carefully watched their owner’s actions, thinking about their wish.

""""

During the song, the two candles were lit and Choco affectionately petted and clapped the puppies in celebration. Soon the candles were blown out and each dog received a kiss on their little puppy cheeks.

The man then grabbed a small plastic knife with the intention of cutting the cake and the puppies finally began to gain more interest.

Candles were blown out and a wish was made while the pups received pets and kisses.

""""
""""

Choco then cut a slice for each of his companions before cutting one for himself, apparently getting excited.

""""

Choco, of course, cut off the first pieces to give to his dogs, offering them each more from their own plate, and it’s hard not to get excited about the fact that the cake, candles, and party hats probably cost the man a lot. . money, but he still put in all that effort so that his friends could have the celebration they deserved.

It looked like Choco was wiping away some tears.

Could someone cut the onions in the other room? Thank you. Also bring some tissues.

""""

Once the video was over, the man approached to ask some questions and it was revealed that they were homeless.

""""

The man then watched the birthday boy finish his cake and leaned in to give him a hug. The other pup got more kisses later, as Shaggy snuck away and started nibbling on the rest of the cake. I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same.

After finishing the video, the filmer approached Choco to ask him about his life and offer help. It was revealed that Choco had spent the last few years living on the streets after escaping an abusive home. Despite the difficulties, he had made sure that Shaggy and Nena were always taken care of to the best of his ability.

After fleeing an abusive home, Choco found comfort in Shaggy and Nena, who would become her new family.

""""

The video quickly gained traction, encouraging people to donate food, supplies and money to help Choco and her puppies recover.

""""

Once the video was posted, it quickly went viral and racked up more than 440,000 views. Many people decided to come and help the little family recover.

The park where the festivities took place has become a gathering place for other animal lovers, who donated food and other supplies for both Choco and her puppies. They also had the man pose for pictures with his own puppies for a little fun, but that was just the beginning.

Someone gave Choco a new phone, on which he started his Instagram and gained over 180,000 followers.

""""

Someone gave Choco a phone and he was able to start an Instagram account, which now has more than 180,000 followers. In an Instagram Live he spoke about his life, stating that he is originally from the municipality of El Peñón.

Shaggy was celebrating his fourth birthday and Nena’s 11th birthday would be in November. He also shared his dream of devoting himself to music and opening an animal shelter. Choco has been selling some t-shirts, also donating a percentage of the profits to stop animal abuse.

He has expressed his desire to pursue music and open an animal shelter in the future.

""""

It seems like wishes come true, but the sad truth is that rare people become homeless through any fault of their own.

""""

It seems that everything he wanted in those candles is working its magic and things are finally going better for this man and his beloved pets. But there have been discussions about why homeless people take on animal care when they are struggling enough to support themselves as they are. Let’s analyze that a little more.

The sad truth is that no one ends up homeless for no reason, some through no fault of their own. Family violence, a shortage of affordable housing, physical and/or mental health problems, unemployment or job loss, and drug and alcohol abuse are some of the most common reasons people become homeless. .

Homelessness is a serious social problem that greatly affects those who are unfortunate enough to experience it.

""""

Fred Victor, a social service charity, points out the fact that living on the streets can be a very dehumanizing existence, where “people act as if you are invisible or, worse still, they want you to become invisible.”

Isolation, fear and constant uncertainty are factors that would affect anyone’s state of being and having a pet there for comfort and a little protection can make a big difference for those who have little or nothing.

Owning a pet can greatly increase your morale and chances of improving your life, although it comes with additional costs.

""""

Having a pet can be an important factor that contributes to a person’s survival, not only because of their unconditional love but also because of the responsibility that comes with caring for them. Many studies have shown that having a pet decreases drug and alcohol use and limits high-risk behaviors for fear of losing the companion animal.

However, it is a double-edged sword, as Louis argues that it has been suggested that pet ownership perpetuates homelessness by restricting access to support services, especially housing. It is very common for people to be forced to choose between a shelter bed or being left on the street with their pet and, needless to say, most people choose the latter.

Changes in the perception and stigma of homelessness are crucial to helping solve the problem and provide help to those who need it most.

""""

We have a long road ahead when it comes to solving or at least improving the problem, however, it begins with our perception of homelessness and the person experiencing it. We tend to have a very rigid opinion about what a homeless person is like, how they are potentially dangerous or unpredictable.

Victoria Lawson, a professor at the University of Washington, said: “There is a villainization of the poor, and the lack of available services is related to the way people are prioritized. We need to start thinking critically about how we understand the “other”; Seeing homeless people as imperfect and inadequate allows us to see ourselves as stable and good.”

""""

A little goes a long way and even if you can’t afford to donate money, you can always volunteer your time.

More homeless shelters, tent cities, and pet-friendly housing should be the first steps to take. Then there are bigger issues to address, such as access to mental health care or affordable housing, and the surplus of animals bred to support a pet industry.

The division among the public persists: one group shows sympathy for the pet, but not the person, and questions the quality of the pet’s care. And at the other extreme are those who sympathize with those who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances, wanting to help but not knowing how.

According to Love To Know, the main thing is to educate yourself on the topic and try to dispel any stereotypes or stigmas related to homelessness. Donate what you need to local shelters and money if you have it. Otherwise, volunteer your time to help those in need. A little goes a long way.

Debates continue in the public, but one thing is certain: animals save us as much as we save them.

""""

We hope the best for Choco and his family and are sure that a bright future awaits them.

""""

At the end of the day, homeless people take care of their pets and have a lot of love to give them; and to some extent, both save each other.

It seems that things are going well for Choco and her puppies. The man has published his phone number and PayPal account for those who wish to help them. But it seems they already have something that others can only wish for in a birthday candle. And in Choco’s own words: “A dog will teach you unconditional love. “If you can have that in your life, things won’t be so bad.”
