The target group is people who see their animals as equal caregivers. Only it wasn’t a human, but an animal. According to psychologists, most people celebrate their pets’ birthdays because they enjoy it and feel good about it. Pam and Nadine, on the other hand, enjoy seeing people happy and feeding the dogs at their “Pawties,” a mix of the word party and the English word for paw.
