Every glossy tabloid is full of them – tiny, trim, primped and pampered beauties ready for their close-up at any minute of the day. The paparazzi is fighting to snap their picture – as soon as they stick their head out of their owner's purse.
Sure, we think it's cute to see tiny celebs like Paris, Nicole and Britney carrying their pintsize pooches in their Prada purses but sometimes bigger really is better. And today we want to honor the full-figured pooch.
There's something to be said for the big dog - the Lassie, the Old Yeller, the Rin Tin Tin, the Beethoven…The big pooch who's there to protect you and love you and knock you over because he's so happy to see you when you come home from work.
Not to mention: You don't have to worry about stepping on your big dog; when you stand next to your big dog, you look thinner; and a big butt just means there's more to love
That's right, big is beautiful, so why not celebrate the size of your large, round, rotund, bountiful, curvaceous, plump, stout, big boned, bootilicious, gentle giant with some sensational stuff made specifically for your plentiful pooch.
