“Frankie is very sweet, emotionally intelligent, and gentle,” Mason told The Post.

“She makes everyone who she interacts with feel like they are her new favorite person.” 

Mason got Frankie the pug puppy back in 2012.

Earlier this month, Mason’s neighbor filmed the moment when more than a dozen clapping guests encircled Frankie as she was hoisted into the air during the traditional Hora, a Jewish celebration regaling the guest of honor.

Mason has been hearing from all sorts of fans ever since — including folks “I haven’t seen or talked to since my own bat mitzvah.”

She said thousands of people have reached out to her and “expressed their own joy from seeing Frankie’s bark mitzvah.

“I think seeing something purely joyful was really needed for a lot of people right now,” the doggy mom added.

There are no plans to launch a pug party-planning business at the moment, “but who knows,” Mason said.

‘We feel so lucky to get to celebrate a milestone birthday with her,” Mason said. nicolettemason/tiktok

“If we’ve inspired anyone to do something joyful and bring a little whimsy into their lives, bringing their loved ones and community together — I love that.”

The hope is that this marks the first of many milestones the couple will celebrate with Frankie.

“She’s just the sweetest,” Mason added. “We feel so lucky to get to celebrate a milestone birthday with her, and hope to celebrate her Sweet Sixteen in a few years.”




Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
