Meet Menswear Dog: The stylish Shiba Inu teaching guys how to dress as he models designer gear on his own fashion blog



Menswear Dog is the newest blog to mark its mark the fashion scene, using a well-dressed three-and-a-half-year-old shiba inu named Bodhi - after Patrick Swayze’s character in Point Break.

The blog's creators David Fung, 28, a graphic designer, and his fashion-designer girlfriend, Yena Kim, 26, have caused an online sensation since they launched the website earlier this week.



Bodhi models heritage menswear staples like a natural, wearing everything from Ralph Lauren knit ties to Gant Rugger oxford shirts, all layered to perfection. 'He's working on building a timeless wardrobe,' Mr Fung told MailOnline.

So far, the four-day-old blog features items that come from Mr Fung's own wardrobe, but Miss Kim said they are 'excited to feature items from up-and-coming designers for our future photo shoots.'

The response to the blog has been 'overwhelming,' added the duo, who started Menswear Dog together on a recent 'lazy Saturday afternoon.'

'We thought it would be fun to dress up Bodhi in some serious menswear clothes just for giggles,' said Mr Fung.

'We posted a picture of it on Facebook (it's actually the one with the shawl collar cardigan) and the response from our friends and family was unreal. That's when we realized that we had stumbled on to something amazing.'

The couple, who have had Bodhi since he was a 'wee puppy,' admitted to dressing him in menswear long before they started the blog.

'Bodhi has been known to sport some glorious holiday sweaters in his younger days,' said Mr Fung, who was born in Massachusetts, and is now based in New York.



So how does Bodhi like his new career as a male model?



'It's mostly mood dependent,' said Korean-born Miss Kim. 'Generally he loves the attention but sometimes he won't have it. And that's when you get a well-deserved paw to the face.
