Alpaca Celebrates First Birthday With A “Pup Cup” Mustache

An alpaca inside a car stopped at a drive-through window.

You don’t actually have to be a dog to order a pup cup from Starbucks… in fact, there’s an alpaca who swears by this sweet treat! In the most adorable video ever, a farmer took one of these animals to their local drive-through for his first birthday. As you can imagine, the baristas were head-over-heels for this four-legged customer! It seems like Oliver, the birthday boy, had a pretty great time, too.

In the clip, the alpaca had his head sticking out of the car window while Mom ordered the pup cup. When the Starbucks employees found out who it was for, they were so excited to see him! Apparently, Oliver has been to this location before.

“They remembered him,” the alpaca’s owner wrote in her caption. “I think he remembered the pup cup as well.”

While the baristas fawned over him, Oliver seemed pretty anxious to get his treat. Finally, the pup cup was ready, and the alpaca got to enjoy his sugary dessert. Mom caught the most hilarious footage of this critter with an adorable whipped cream mustache! He looked so happy after digging into the snack.

Of course, getting a pup cup isn’t the only way this alpaca celebrated his first birthday. His owner informed the baristas that the farm would be throwing him a party complete with a smash cake!

“Happy Birthday big boy!” the woman added at the end of her post. “We love you!!”

This wouldn’t be the first unusual animal to pick up a treat at the drive-through with their owner. Just ask the Dunkin’ worker who had the pleasure of serving a donut to a goat!

Obviously, junk food isn’t good for animals. It’s not really good for us, either! But every once in a great while, we all need a little treat. We’re glad Oliver the alpaca enjoyed his birthday pup cup!
