The Cardone family of Florida proved it has a great sense of humor this week when what seemed like a romantic gesture between marrieds turned out to be a get-well gesture for the family dog.

Lily Cardone, a college student, told BuzzFeed that her whole family adores their 10-year-old bulldog, Sebastian, but everyone knows that he and Lily’s dad are totally soulmates. Thee family has had Sebastian since he was a 9-month-old puppy.

Recently, Sebastian had to have ACL surgery. He is recovering like a champ, but Cardone’s dad wanted to make him feel extra special.

He decided to have flowers sent to the house — something he does quite often for Cardone’s mother. When mom got the delivery, naturally, she assumed the bouquet was for her!

Then she read the card!
