High fashion in the year of the dog

It's the Chinese Year of the Dog, and the Melbourne Age newspaper reports that designer labels have made it into the dog world.

In fact, 2006 is a very good year for pooches in the United States, since fashionable dog owners go for top labels: Burberry, Coach, Carolina Herrera, Donald J. Pliner, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren and Tiffany & Co.


And why not? Hmmm, Honey would look great in a Burberry trenchcoat. She's always running along with her nose to the ground investigating. Honey Jack Russell, super-sleuth.
