Fashion show raises money for Victoria Humane Society
The catwalk is going to the dogs this week in Victoria.
The annual Man and His Dog Fashion Show features two-legged and four-legged runway models: men showing off clothes from Outlooks Menswear, and six very adoptable dogs from the Victoria Humane Society who are looking for homes.
Proceeds from the sale of tickets are going to the Victoria Humane Society
"We have over 100 dogs right now in care, so we have a lot of dogs up for adoption," Penny Stone, executive director of the society, told All Points West guest host David Lennam.
- B.C. SPCA offers cats for half price to deal with overflow
- Puppy love and coffee served at pop-up dog café
"It is fun. We just try and get people to look as much as the dogs," Dale Olson, owner of Outlooks Menswear added. "The clothes are in a big fight here."
