Wanted: Sock Dog
I want one. I have to have one. And, of course, I want one that looks like my greyhound, Greta.
Ever since I saw these adorable dogs in The Bark magazine (July/August), I have been obsessing.
They are made by Stacey Hsu and sold in her ETSY shop. In addition to “adopting” pre-made dogs, she also makes custom orders.
But perhaps the best part of all, besides the possibility of immortalizing your dog as a cute sock dog forever, is that Hsu donates 10 percent of every Original Sock Dog purchase to the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City, a no-kill animal shelter where she has been volunteering since January 2005.
My birthday has come and gone, but I think I may have to order up one of these to celebrate the two-year anniversary of adopting Greta. Of course, Hsu will need to use a white tube sock for Greta’s snout (see below).
