WATCH: Excitable Labrador can barely contain himself as owners sing Happy Birthday
THIS is the adorable moment a Labrador turned into a furry bundle of excitement as his owners sang Happy Birthday to him over a candle-lit cake.

Dakota, the unbelievably happy pooch, has turned into an internet sensation after his special treat was filmed for the world to see.
The delighted dog can be seen wearing a multicoloured party hat as his human owners excitedly gather to celebrate his eighth birthday.
As they start to launch into a rendition of Happy Birthday, Dakota looks thrilled to see all eyes on him as he stands next to a large bone-shaped cake.
He then begins bouncing up and down, with his tail wagging so hard it forces his whole body to sway side to side.

The rest of the footage sees him lifting both front legs in the air through sheer happiness as the song ends with a resounding "wooo!"
It ends as the birthday cake is blown out on behalf of the birthday boy.

He even wore a cute multicoloured party hat for the occasion
This year would have marked his ninth birthday, but sadly no repeat performance has yet been shared online.
The original Tumblr, posted under the name of Merlym, read: "He loves it when we set fire to food and then sing about it. Happy Birthday, to a good old dog."
