Title: Hundreds of dogs parade for man's 100th birthday party

Source: USA Today

Date: 30 June 2023

Situation:

1. Robert Moore of San Jose, California, was turning 100 years old.  What a momentous achievement!  To celebrate this special milestone, his family planned a big dinner.

Problem

1. But sadly, as a result of Mr. Moore’s old age, most of his friends had passed.

Action

1. However, his daughter, Alison, was determined to make it special - and she had a brilliant idea to invite dogs to her father's surprise centennial birthday party!
2. A few days before the party, Alison posted on Facebook inviting friends and neighbors in her community to drop by for a parade with their dogs on June 17th.
3. Though her post was widely shared, Alison had low expectations for turnout.

Result

1. However, to Alison’s surprise, when June 17th rolled around, hundreds of dogs and their owners lined up on the streets outside their house, waiting to be pet by the birthday boy.
2. Not just any dogs showed up, but dogs in costumes like tuxedos, cowboy hats, and bumblebees—pups in classic cars and even dogs with disabilities pulling carts.
3. People brought their dogs and their entire families to wish Mr. Moore a happy 100th birthday - some even brought flowers, posters, and cupcakes.
4. Mr. Moore, while overwhelmed with the response, made it a point to pet every dog that showed up to his party.
