Watch This Husky Get An Incredible Birthday Surprise Based On His Favorite TV Show

Meet Blue, the gorgeous Siberian husky who loves watching "Bluey." Every night, Blue takes in the beloved kids' show from his bed while wearing his precious Bluey pajamas, and you'd think that it doesn't get any more adorable than that. Until...Blue meets Bluey in real life for his 7th birthday — and this heartwarming Instagram video captures it all!

In the video, you see the husky calmly watching his favorite show when suddenly, a life-size costumed Bluey character comes walking through the front door. At first, the doggy doesn't seem to know what's going on, but then he runs over to Bluey and experiences all the emotions — excitement to shyness before a few pets from Bluey made the birthday dog the happiest pup on earth, sitting on Bluey's lap and just enjoying some good back scratches and gentle head pats on the couch.

With over half a million likes, the comments section is also a roller-coaster of emotions, with plenty of viewers mentioning that they teared up at the interaction. "I think my heart just exploded!" said one person, with another adding, "You won, this is the cutest video ever made." From all of us to you, happy 7th birthday, Blue!

Does one dog year actually equal seven human years?

When compared to human aging, dogs mature and age much faster than their human companions, which is why they don't live as long as people. However, their human-age equivalent can be calculated, and while it's often thought that every dog year equals seven human years, the canine aging process is a little more complicated than that.

In reality, it is thought that a dog's age typically equals 15 human years by age 1, and 24 human years by age 2, with aging speed usually slowing down after that. After age 2, add roughly five human years for each dog year that passes. However, after that quick age-burst during puppydom, size also matters in determining the rest of the aging process, as small dogs generally physically age more slowly than large dogs.

So, a 5-year-old toy poodle is still considered young because they can live to be 18, while a 5-year-old Great Dane has reached middle age because they only live for about 10 years. Meanwhile, a medium-sized breed like a Siberian husky can live to be 14. No matter the age, though, our pets' time with us is too short, so enjoy every moment and be kind to them as they grow older.
