It all started in the shower. I’m thinking . . . how could we raise money for Angel On A Leash, a foundation that helps train therapy dogs to go into hospitals and institutions to bring smiles to those in need, create a fun way to showcase our New Yorkie line of doggie fashions and introduce the iconic pet-friendly New Yorker Hotel to new pet loving travelers? That’s how the New Yorkie Runway™ Doggie Fashion Show was born. In the shower.

Last year’s wildly successful doggie fashion show (formerly known as Big City Little Dog Fashion Show) will once again be held on Friday, February 10th, 2012 at the New Yorker Hotel during the excitement of NYC Fashion Week and the legendary Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Come see celebs and NYC personalities strut their stuff down the runway with their pups in New Yorkie® fashions. All for a great cause.

David Frei, the 22 year voice of Westminster will return to the stage to emcee this furry fashion filled event. Your well behaved dog can even join you as a guest at the show. Click here to buy tickets now. It’s sure to be another sold out event.

And if you think your pooch has got what it takes to be in this pawsome doggie fashion show, click on the audition page to find out how your pup can become a canine celebrity and win all sorts of cool prizes. Auditions are free and you can bring your family and friends to cheer you on. Of course, donations for Angel On A Leash will most gladly be accepted at the door. Again, it’s all for a great cause. OK, time for another shower.

But wait . . . there’s more. Now that the auditions are over and ten finalists have been chosen, sniff around the VOTE page, watch the pawsome videos and . . . VOTE! Tell your family and friends to vote too. And oh yes, don’t forget to buy tickets to the big doggie fashion show. Last year was sold out. Just saying. Whew, so much to do, so little time. But it’s all for a great cause!

Enthusiastically,
Elly
