Over the weekend, some of the city's small dogs strutted their stuff on the catwalk for a Dog Fashion Show at The New Yorker Hotel. The event was to benefit Angel On A Leash, a non-profit organization that creates dog therapy programs. Amongst those walking their dogs down the runway were New York personalities and celebs (Oscar-winner Celeste Holm and, well, mostly reality show stars). After all, why should cats have all the fun?!
Now having seen both efforts, it does look like cats have dogs beat in the fashion world, however—the felines really brought their A-game to last summer's Cat Fashion Show. At this weekend's event, it seemed the dog owners were more concerned with primping themselves than their pups.
