Grateful Pup Can’t Stop Smiling At Her Surprise Birthday Party

On the day of her adoption, Kona — a rescued pittie mix — made it her mission to fill her forever house with joy. As a puppy, she played constantly with her mom, Collyn, and anyone else who entered their home. Whether she chased after toys or cuddled up with her family for a quick nap, Kona always put a smile on everyone’s faces.

Over the next seven years, the sweet girl’s household changed a lot, but her mission of making everyone happy remained strong.

“She has made every day since then better,” Collyn wrote on Instagram.

After a year of being their only fur child, Kona’s parents adopted another puppy, Mako. Kona took her new role as a big sister seriously, trading in her playful exuberance for a more responsible demeanor.

Soon after Mako settled in, Kona and her family welcomed a series of foster pups — each just as perfect as the last. While Mako took care of playtime, Kona made sure her temporary siblings were clean, safe and following the rules.

And she always checked in with her mom at the end of the day.
