In my opinion, if you don’t like dogs, you can’t be trusted. They’re loyal, they’re ever-happy, they’ll eat whatever you give them and they even fetch things for you—it’s like the ultimate man-servant that you don’t even have to pay minimum wage.
Every discerning lady or gentleman with a four-legged companion, simply must look their fashionable best, but what’s to say that should stop with their alligator shoes and perfectly pressed shirt? Melbourne-based canine accessories label, Best In Park, create—in their own words—”quality goods for distinguished dogs about town.” With Harris tweed bow ties and matching field coats, and collars and leads that hark Hermès saddlery, they ship worldwide.
What’s more, AU$4 from every Best in Park local order over AU$20 is donated to the PALS (Pets are Loving Support) programme, which takes specially trained dogs to visit people in need of companionship and affection in hospitals, nursing homes and day care centres.
Social conscience aside, anything with a reference to Christopher Guest film gets my vote. A line of feline accessories entitled “Spinal Cat”, perhaps?
