Oh dear! I could feel the character's emotions - expecting a celebration and getting none. I know how I would feel if my family forgot my birthday. Hahaha. I'm glad the family chose to surprise the boy.
I loved your character's relationship with his pet dog. Nicely done. 🙂
That feeling of having your birthday forgotten, it's not a happy one at all. But thankfully, it all ended in love and laughter.
