The woman in this story received a beautiful bouquet of flowers, but she never could have predicted what would happen next. Debbie Cardone was in the midst of a day just like any other, when she thought that her husband had decided to spring a wonderful surprise on her.

After all, who doesn’t like to receive a gorgeous flower arrangement from the person who matters most to them? The only thing that could have possibly served to dampen her level of enthusiasm is finding out that they were not actually for her.

Debbie opened the card that accompanied her flowers and her heart sank when she came to the realization that the flowers were not intended as a gift for her. Her beloved bulldog Sebastian was currently in recovery from a surgery and the flowers were being given to him instead.
