The doggie fashion show held on Feb. 10 at the New Yorker Hotel is a benefit for the Angel On A Leash foundation, which creates therapy dog programs in health-care facilities across the country.

In addition to the dogs and their owners going down the runway, Miss USA Alyssa Campanella will also strut down the catwalk with the animals. In addition, David Frei, also known as the Voice of Westminster, will keep things interesting as the emcee of the event.

All of the proceeds are going to the Angels on A Leash foundation.
