However Bodhi is not your typical male model - he’s a five-year-old Shiba Inu who lives in New York.

Also known as the Menswear Dog, Bodhi is one chic canine.

His owners, David Fung and Yena Kim, first discovered their pooch’s talent one Saturday afternoon they decided to dress him in human clothing.

Bodhi immediately “lit up and started posing for us,” says David.

Since then the pair have given up their day jobs to focus on Bodhi’s career. “It gave us the courage to live a life less ordinary, and to do something that was fun as a family,” says David.

So far Bodhi's clients have included major brands like Coach, Salvatore Ferragamo, and ASOS.

Yena, a fashion designer by trade, says Bodhi has a line of sweaters or jackets for fellow dogs in the works.
