Oklahoma dog dons pink tutu for her quinceanera

Feb. 19 (UPI) -- An Oklahoma dog's special day is going viral after her owner went all-out in throwing her a quinceanera.

Jackie Pizano of Oklahoma City said she threw a quinceanera to celebrate her German shepherd, Nova, turning 15 in dog years -- although she admits the party came some time after the pup marked the milestone birthday.

A video posted to Facebook by party attendee Reagan Gilbert shows Nova dressed in a pink tutu and participating in a dance at her quinceanera.

Pizano said Nova deserved a party because she recently earned an Einstein Award from K-9 University and has been an exemplary role model for her adopted sister, a dachshund named Phoebe.
