Happy holidays pet style lovers! Join me for a fun conversation with two of my favorite "brands with compassion"- Toru and Planet Dog Both of these companies have their own unique approach to designing high-style pet products with a mission for saving lives and funding service dog programs.

Listen in as I talk with Susan Levine and Vanessa Rossman, the wonder duo behind the popular rescue wear brand Toru.com to get the behind the scenes scoop on the making of the popular Rescues Rock The Runway 2011 calendar. How did they get those dogs to walk on two legs with angel wings alla Victoria Secret runway show? 5% of every calendar sale goes directly to Paws 4 You Rescue and they're even offering FREE shipping for our listeners by entering code: RESCUESROCK 11

My second guest is Kristen Smith, Executive Director of the Planet Dog Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the socially conscious brand Planet Dog. Planet Dog has created the Orbee-Tuff Glow for Good Ball ball for the purpose of donating %100 of the profits to charity. Since 2006, Planet Dog has donated over $775,000 in cash grants and in-kind product donations to help fund, train, place and support dogs helping people in need. The Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff Glow for Good Balls sell for $9.95, glow in the dark, smell like MINT and can be recycled by sending your old ball to Planet Dog.
