When James turned 13, his Jewish family marked the milestone in proper fashion: Friends and family gathered at his home, and he wore a kippah — a traditional head covering — as blessings were recited and the Torah was read. It was a celebratory moment, though James seemed more excited about snagging a piece of challah.

Afterward, his family took him for “a nice long walk” — on a leash. James, you see, is a dog. A goldendoodle, to be exact.

To Diane Miller, it made sense to throw her dog James, now 15, a “bark mitzvah.” “All the boys in the family had a bar mitzvah at 13, so we thought our dog should as well,” the New Yorker tells Yahoo. “He’s part of the family. So we thought it was appropriate and a cute way to enjoy his birthday.”

Call it over the top. Call it cute. But for these pet owners, celebrating their furry (or feathery) family members is meaningful and worth every penny.

Last year, New York City-based influencer Julia Ain spotted a photo on Instagram of a corgi rescued from a puppy mill in South Korea. She immediately thought, “This is my dog,” she tells Yahoo. After working with an American adoption agency that coordinated the rescue, the dog arrived in New York just two weeks later. “It was the perfect fit,” she says. “I took such a chance on this dog, and I love him — he’s my soul dog.”
