Texas woman throws quinceanera for her dog: 'She loved it'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A dog in Texas recently got to experience her birthday in style, thanks to her owner who threw the pup a quinceanera.
Last weekend, Lupita the chihuahua was the honoree of her very own quinceanera, a tradition rooted in Latin American culture that usually celebrates a human girl’s 15th birthday.

Megan Sanchez, Miranda’s cousin, later posted the now viral pictures of Lupita on her big day.
As of Saturday morning, Megan’s tweet had more than 15,000 retweets and nearly 60,000 likes.

Lupita and the other pups at her party enjoyed ribs and a gift bags full of treats and toys, the publication reported.
