"My husband and I always joked that our dogs were more like our kids. Now that we have a baby, we say we have three kids and a baby! I'm always looking for chic, high-end pieces to dress my dogs that aren't gimmicky or kitsch. Honestly, it was really hard to find what I was looking for, so I decided to create my own!"

"They're rescue dogs from the Miami organization Fur Angels. Legitimutt is going to start working with local shelters and donate a portion of sales."
