Senior Lab’s Birthday Trip To Build a Bear Is Happiness Beyond Words


Every dog deserves something special on their birthday, especially when they are such a good boy like Ollie, the senior Labrador.

To celebrate his 11th birthday, Ollie’s human mama took him to Build-A-Bear, where he got to create his very own custom stuffy! Not only was this ridiculously cute, but as this video shows, Ollie had an absolute blast!

From the moment Ollie set paw in his local Build-A-Bear store, he looked like he was right at home. And how could he not be, surrounded by so many beautiful stuffed animals waiting to become his new best friend?

Even though it was Ollie’s birthday, he could still only build one bear. While having to choose only one might seem like an agonizing choice for a dog, it was not for Ollie, who had no trouble choosing a pumpkin-themed teddy bear.

Maybe it was the recent spooky holiday, the upcoming holiday season, or maybe Ollie just really loves pumpkins, but whatever the case may be, he is a dog of impeccable teddy bear taste! When it came time to finally build his bear, Ollie did it all!

He literally pushed the pedal all by himself, like an absolute boss and true good boy! The entire time, he was as excited as could be to be at Build-A-Bear, his tail hardly stopped wagging!

And of course, the staff all adored him, giving Ollie all kinds of affectionate scratches and pets. When it was finally time to go, Ollie carried his bear out of the store all by himself, which was every bit as adorable as it sounds!

Without a doubt, Ollie had a fantastic 11th birthday celebration at Build-A-Bear.

Ollie Has Always Been a Good Boy

As this other video shows, Ollie has truly always been a good boy in every sense of the phrase.

This video compilation shows him at different ages, from when he was a newborn pup up until his most recent birthday, and leaves no doubt that this furry guy is a true earth angel!

The way he cuddles with his toys is adorable, how he plays with his canine sibling is lovable, and the way he makes the lives of his humans better in every way possible, simply by existing, is all the proof we need to know that Ollie is the greatest good boy imaginable!
