Doge is getting a fashion make over.
Former New York designers Yena Kim and David Fung are making between $10,000 and $15,000 each month by dressing up their 5-year-old Shiba Inu in the latest fashions and posting photos online. The couple has allegedly quit their day jobs to work with their dog full - time because they money is that good, Newser reported.
Bodhi, who was named after Patrick Swayze's character in Point Break, is obedient and sits still wearing Fung's clothes and accessories, while looking adorable at the same time.
They began turning their dog into art in the spring of 2013, and admitted that it was mostly a joke at first. But Menswear Dog quickly soared to fame, and garnering roughly 91,000 likes on Facebook, 150,000 followers on Instagram and 224,000 on Tumblr. Bodhi even has ad campaigns with American Apparel, Brooks Brothers, Purina, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Coach, The Mary Sue reported.
But in addition to his sponsors, Bodhi has had spreads in GQ, Nylon, Esquire and Time. Kim and Fung say they haven't made less than $10,000 per month off the project in a while. His very own book, called The Menswear Dog, is slated to be released next month.
The most recent post on Facebook is of Bodhi wearing a black leather jacket and a black shirt on with his teeth showing on Oct. 17. The caption says "Do the Eric Northman growl," referencing the hit HBO show "True Blood" that just wrapped this summer after 7 seasons.
