Dog's Birthday Party Nearly Ends in Fire at Zuarz Family Home

A birthday celebration for Moon, the beloved dog of Shira and Or Zuarz, nearly turned into a disaster when candles on the dog's cake ignited a decoration, causing a significant flame. The incident occurred while Shino Zuarz, Chairman of the Football Association and father to Shira and Or, was abroad with the Israeli national team. Shira Zuarz, Moon's "mother," and Or Zuarz, wife of Beitar Jerusalem captain Yarden Shua who is also with the national team, had organized an elaborate party for the dog's second birthday. The celebration included a special dog-friendly cake, decorations, a large balloon, gifts, and candles. The fire started when the candles on the cake lit a decoration on top, creating a large flame that surprised and alarmed the sisters. They managed to extinguish the fire quickly, but acknowledged how close the house came to being engulfed in flames. Shira Zuarz shared the near-disaster on Instagram, humorously noting that while they wanted to celebrate Moon's birthday, the house almost burned down and Or almost broke her phone. The party also featured extravagant gifts for Moon, including a luxury Gucci Ophidia bag valued at approximately 6,000-7,000 shekels, which Shira purchased, and a designer dog sweater bought by Or. In a separate amusing incident, Or Zuarz reluctantly tasted Moon's dog cake after Shira insisted it was edible, but her reaction indicated it was not to her liking. The celebration concluded with warm wishes for Moon, who turned two.
