Wonderful World Wednesday
White Dog and the Army have been discussing the fate of shelter dogs in earnest these past days. Adopting a dog to save a life was part of our decision to bring Bella E. Premuroso, Tiny White Dog, home as a new recruit. We know she is but one pup and thousands are in need of permanent homes and fosters. Getting the word out to the public and raising awareness to adopt, don’t shop is crucial in moving closer to the goal of a home and love for every creature in need. Toward that celebrity and high fashion will catch the world's attention, the WDA hopes.
The designer, Ralph Lauren, a long time dog lover, took the message haute couture this week. Hopefully adding an air of being ultra chic to choosing a new furfriend from the shelter will generate “knock offs” as the fashion conscious at all income levels look to their local rescues and shelters for the perfect partner to share a stylish and fashionable forever life

Ralph Lauren Uses Rescue Dogs in Fashion Spread By Good News Network Monday, October 28, 2013
For the first time, Ralph Lauren is featuring shelter dogs in its fashion advertising, showing off its line of fall accessories alongside adorable rescue dogs. The beautiful ad campaign not only wants to sell handbags and gloves; it is also designed to promote the adoption of shelter dogs.
A miniature dachshund named Roxy was one of ten dogs participating in “The Dog Walk” campaign, collaboration with the ASPCA that kicked off on Oct. 15.
The charming pups were plucked from shelters and featured in a short film, set on city streets. Though the brand has never shied away from including dogs in print ads in the past, this is the first time the company has let rescue dogs take center stage in a fashion show alongside their human model counterparts.
