Glenn Close's pet pooch steals the show at Spirit Awards

'The Wife' star Glenn Close had a strange companion during the Spirit Awards in Santa Monica. The actor who sported a pink laminated custom Sies Marjan suit was accompanied by her scene-stealing companion, a well-coiffed Havanese pup, Pip Close.

Close posted a video on Instagram of her beloved canine traveling on the lap of her daughter, Annie Starke ahead of the event.

Here's the post:

"We don't know whether they'll let you on the red carpet yet," quipped Close.

The dog's life is chronicled on Instagram under the handle @sirpippinofbeanfield.

Listed as the "only son of Glenn Close" with an "excellent nose," Pip's profile also lists him as an "International traveler. Student of the human condition. Fetch artist and mini-ball catcher extraordinaire!"

The off-leash pooch dutifully strutted down the red carpet alongside Close, who won the award for the best female lead for 'The Wife'.
