Westminster Kennel Club’s Angel On A Leash

(Josh the therapy dog).
On Monday evening, I will be attending a cocktail party to benefit the Westminster Kennel Club’s Angel On a Leash foundation. — a charity dedicated to bringing together young patients with therapy dogs.
The use of therapy dogs has been shown to help reduce stress for pediatric patients and their families. Scientific studies are showing the many benefits, ranging from encouraging smiles and conversation, to motivating them during physical therapy. (Westminster Kennel Club)
Monday’s event has been coordinated on behalf of The Westminster Kennel Club, by Charlotte Reed, esteemed pet care expert and author, as well as frequent and celebrated ABC-TV’s, The View contributor.
I will be bringing several Pet Set products — which are among several fine donations to the event’s silent auction.
I’ll tell you what I will not be bringing — one of these absurd purses, currently seen on the streets of New York, in which, I might add you could fit a Josh the therapy dog, that’s how embarassingly gigantic they are.

Which actually leaves me in a bit of a pickle…what to wear to an event full of seriously dedicated dog people, and more importantly, the therapy dogs themselves?!
It may be fashion week, here in New York, but I think the therapy dogs have much more PAWnache.
Wish Me Luck!
