The phenomenon of bling for dogs may arguably be laid at the pedicured paws of a magnificent mongrel named Sweetie, who transcended her humble origins as a stray to become a mutt model and Elle Magazine arbiter, and who counted among her devoted fans the columnist Liz Smith, the fashion designer Michael Kors, the actress Elizabeth Hurley, and the supermodel-cosmetics entrepreneur Iman. 

Sweetie has since passed away, but her luxe legend lives on in these pages. Nobody modeled a couture collar or designer dog bed like this fabulous, four-pawed fashionista. The proof is this book's whimsical drawings (by illustrator-to-the-stars Ruben Toledo)  and collection of glamorous photographs
 
But the real draw is the text penned by Sweetie's besotted, beloved biographer, Mark Welsh, who does his girl proud by reading her racy thoughts and translating them into wisdom mere humans can understand. To wit: "The best way to get over a dog it to get under another one."
