Tom Wilson and Taylor Pischke adopted rescue puppy, Halle, earlier this month.
Sunday, Halle spent her first birthday with her dad Tom and she made him a present: one of the cutest dog/athlete videos of all time.

Wow. The video ends with a screen of Happy Birthday with a heart and paw emoji. Well, well done.
I went ahead and screenshot some of our favorite moments from the video.
Capitals’ lorge puppy Captain made sure to wish Tom a happy birthday too. And I can confirm that two puppies are better than one.

“Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes,” Wilson wrote. “Lucky to be a part of this community!”
