Intro image: Toast wears Crazy Tort Flower Patch.
In perhaps the most Instagram-friendly ad campaign EVER, New York It-dog Toast is the face of the new season Karen Walker Eyewear sunglass collection.
But behind the happy face, is a sad tale. Toast was rescued from a puppy mill, a dog baby factory where female dogs used to breed puppies for sale are then discarded when of no financial use to them anymore. The reason her tongue always flops out, derp-style, is because her teeth had all rotted due to mistreatment. You may be following The Big Jew on Instagram as I am and he is Toast’s adopted daddy and she has a new life as the toast of New York City, attending shows and events.
The fashion designer Karen Walker also appears in the ad campaign, holding Toast. What a gorgeous animal, and a great cause they are raising awareness of. And the sunglasses are incredible as per. Check out the collection below and see it online at Karen Walker Eyewear.
