Glenn Close had a big night at the 34th annual Independent Spirit Awards, but her dog Pip was the evening's real winner in the internet's eyes.
Close, who scored a Best Female Lead win for her star performance in The Wife, brought along her dog, a Havanese, as her arm candy for the evening. And given that Pip is a tiny, fluffy pooch who clearlyloves his mama, he became an instant star.

Pip scored all of this acclaim without ever having to field asinine red carpet questions like "Who are you wearing?" Hero.
Please enjoy these looks at Pip, who seemed unimaginably chill -- even playful! -- amidst all the noise and popping flashbulbs of a Hollywood red carpet and subsequent awards show.
