Robert's daughter Alison put out the word on the Nextdoor app, asking people to dress up their dogs and parade them in front of their house to help their dad celebrate the milestone.

Alison told NBC Bay Area she was hoping for maybe 20 dogs to show up - but the response was incredible.

More than 200 dogs and their owners came by to wish him a happy birthday. There were dogs in cowboy hats, tuxedos, pups with disabilities, pulling carts and canines in classic cars. The line stretched all the way around the block and down the street.

Robert, accompanied by his family, was deeply moved by the outpouring of love and admiration from the community.

"My father, he was so touched. He pet every single dog that came through. Every person brought the dog up to him. It was so lovely," Alison said.
