Adorable photos of the London Dog Week 2019 fashion show

Pooches have been parading down the runway today at a doggie fashion show held at M Victoria restaurant in celebration of London Dog Week.

Think pups in diamonte, denim waistcoats and very smart leopard print bow-ties indeed. 

The inaugural London Dog Week  (March 25-31) is aimed at making the capital a more dog-friendly place by raising awareness of the dog world and promoting the benefits of the connections between owners and their furry friends.

LDW co-founder, Aneka Johnson said “London is viewed as one of the loneliest cities in the world, yet dogs are natural people magnets and if we can use their ability to connect people across the capital, then we think it’s a great way for people to forge friendships. I really believe that dogs are instrumental in making London less lonely.”

Meanwhile co-founder, Lois Mallet Walker said: “I know both myself and Aneka have both gone through mental and physical health challenges and our dogs have really helped us through it. Sharing the power of how dogs are therapeutic and can help you keep a healthy frame of mind, alleviate stress and anxiety in addition to uniting its owner with the local community, is the message we want to spread throughout London.”
