So your dog works as a model? Don't quit your day job

All owners think their pets are cute, but only a rare few of those cute pets make it in modeling

Amy Peller, a marketing consultant who lives in Hoboken, NJ, was in the flagship Banana Republic store in London last winter when she looked up and recognised the model whose picture greeted her.

“I think I gasped or screamed and said, ‘That’s my dog!’” Peller said. There was her white labradoodle, Benny Hana, pictured in the middle of a party of other dog and human models on a grand staircase.

Benny has appeared in two ad campaigns and a calendar for his breed. Peller says her pet’s star turn has been an enjoyable bonding experience, but not something she plans to quit
