He cooked the meals himself, mixing rice, dog food, carrots, squash, and chicken. The footage then shows Esnyr feeding stray dogs and cats one by one while moving around several locations and carefully arranging the food on paper plates.
He captioned the photo with, “Celebrating my day with them🐾🤍,” highlighting his choice to spend his birthday being friendly to animals.
Esnyr’s thoughtful celebration was quickly praised by friends and fellow celebrities, who noted the significance of showing compassion to stray animals.
“We’re stanning the right person 🙂 happy bday jo,” said Star Magic star Raven Rigor.
“I love you so much more for this. Thank you, Esnyr 🥹💖,” wrote Alexa Ilacad, a celebrity competitor for Your Face Sounds Familiar.
His act of kindness was also praised by online users, one of whom wrote, “Happy Birthday Esnyr! As a furparent who wishes to adopt every single stray I see on the streets, thank you and may god bless you even more for doing this ❤️❤️.”
One online user commented that they initially believed the food was intended for kids. Esnyr enthusiastically replied, implying that he had more plans to show his generosity in the future.
“next goooaaal!!!,” he replied.
Many were touched by Esnyr’s gesture, particularly as it demonstrated his affection for animals. He happily announced that he had acquired a dog named Freeze in November of last year, sharing pictures of the newest member of his family on Instagram.
