Luna’s family spotted her roaming along the side of the road when she was just 3 weeks old and chose to adopt her. Since then, they have lavished her with love and care, and when her 15th birthday approached, they wanted to give her a spectacular celebration.
A quinceaera is a rite of passage and cultural ritual in which a girl’s 15th birthday is commemorated with a large party. Luna’s family thought that she, too, needed one because they love and adore her so much.

Luna’s sibling, Angel Olavarria, told The Dodo, “Luna is an amazing darling, likes cuddling up with people and enjoys resting on her back on the floor.” “We’ve lavished her with affection, and she’s outlasted all of our pets.” We planned to surprise our little cheese ball with a quinceaera on her 15th birthday.”

Luna’s quinceaera was over a year in the making when Olavarria’s mother came up with the concept and started planning the celebration a week in before. Lots of food, a cake, decorations, a guest list — and, of course, a dress for the birthday girl — would be included.
Olavarria explained, “My mother found the garment on Amazon.” “When my mother said she was going to get a dress for her, I assumed she was joking, but my mother never jokes about our dogs.”

A pink tablecloth, balloons, and even flowers were used to decorate the party space. Luna’s family went all out to let her know how valuable she is to them.

When the big day arrived, Luna’s family dressed her up in her lovely pink gown, seated her at the head of the table, and began toasting to her 15 years of happiness. The party lasted three hours, with 12 family members and guests enjoying excellent company and plenty of food, including a typical tres leches dessert.

Luna, too, had a good day, especially when she received her own special surprise.
