Dogs are not man’s best friend. Your dog may not understand what you’re saying, but he or she is a family member who understands your feelings better than anyone else.

For Choco, a homeless person in Colombia, dogs are the family he never had and he treats them as such. Shoko not only feeds and cares for her two dogs, but also throws birthday parties whenever possible.

Home is where your loved ones live.


Choco was on the streets of Bucaramanga, Colombia, fleeing domestic violence at home. The fact that the street is better than the house he grew up in shows how bad he is.

But Choco was determined to live as long as possible and met two new dogs, Shaggy and Nena, who became her new family. Photos of Choco and pets


His love for these two dogs is amazing. Even though he was young, Shoko never missed one of his furry friends’ birthdays.

A man who likes to walk in the local park finds Choco and his two dogs sitting on the steps while Shaggy and Nena put on their birthday hats and place a small cake between them.

It was clear that someone in this little family was having a birthday, so the man decided to capture the heartwarming moment and post it online.

Choco was so excited about the event that she bought herself a birthday cake, candles, plates and even a hat. It may not seem like much to financially rich people, but for Shoko it was a huge fortune.

Choco became so emotional that she cried even before hugging and kissing her dogs, especially Shaggy, who was celebrating his birthday. Choco sitting on the stairs with her dog is touching.

The cake looked delicious because we enjoyed it so much.

Your birthday wish will come true


The person who shot the video approaches Shoko and asks her how she is doing. She was so moved by Choco’s loving actions towards her dog that she posted the video online, The Dodo reported.

Soon, more and more people were willing to help Choco and his furry friends by raising money, giving food and donating in other ways. Portrait of Choco and his dogs


Since Choco was the one who turned off the lamp, he must have wished for a better life, but as the video became a hot topic, his wish began to come true.

Choco got a cell phone and was able to create an Instagram account where she could connect with people around the world who were interested in her story. His profile description says:

✨Mi sueño es fundar un refugio para peluditos 🐾” (My dream is to found a shelter for furry friends.)

Well, I hope this dream will come true, too, Choco!
