Japanese dogs hit the catwalk
A Tokyo department store has put on a catwalk fashion show - exclusively for dogs.
Eight dogs - including poodles, dachshunds and Chihuahuas - took part in the show, modelling a range of new fashion wear for canines.
But the price tags on the items were likely to make pet owners yelp.
A canary yellow raincoat was going for 8,500 yen ($72) and a striped rugby jersey for 4,000 yen ($34).
For dogs with romance on the mind, a white wedding dress was also on show ($34).
TV appearances
"It is the kind of thing that appeals to hard-core dog lovers," Mitsukoshi store spokesman, Satoshi Shimura told the Associated Press.
Chibi, a one-year-old Maltese, is male but seemed unperturbed by being seen in an elegant Italian white dress with a matching bonnet ($34).
He already has television appearances and calendar shoots under his collar, organisers said.
But Jasmine, a one-year-old female Miniature Schnauzer sporting sunglasses ($16) and a t-shirt dotted with red and white stars ($39), seemed more uneasy in the glare of the lights.
Aided by a boom in pet ownership in Japan, the show attracted more than 60 people
