With her toothless mouth and lolling tongue the Internet fell in love with Toast, the adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. After gaining over 155,000 Instagram followers the cute pup has just landed her first major fashion campaign. The fluffy pooch had a sad start to life in a harsh puppy mill, before was rescued from by New York comedian Josh Ostrovsky and his wife, Katie Sturino. Josh aka “The Fat Jew”, 29, found the pup in deplorable health and all her teeth had to be removed because they were so rotten. Now fit and healthy Toast is starring in Karen Walker’s high-end eyewear campaign for summer 2015, alongside Walker herself. “This gorgeous redhead’s story is a true Cinderella one,” said Walker, from New Zealand. “She was discovered living in cruel circumstances, rescued, and quickly rocketed to fame thanks to her wonderful looks, charming personality and inimitable sense of humour.” The acclaimed designer joked that she was “nervous” about posing next to such a famous doggy, with such an enormous social media following. “It’s pretty hard to compete with a toothless dog with its tongue hanging out,” she conceded. Walker paid Toast’s owners a modeling fee and made a donation to Friends of Finn, an organisation dedicated to ending inhumane breeding practices in puppy mills.CREDIT: Karen Walker/Splash.
