Dorothy is a fabulous french bulldog who holds a very important role at Art and Sole as our Shopdog. She has been a shoe lover for as long as she can remember. Her favourite designers include: Jimmy Chew, Pawda and Loubarkin to name a few ;) Her favourite movie is the Wizard of Oz and she would do anything to get her paws on a pair of ruby slippers. If you are interested in signing up for a class but feel uncomfortable or have allergies to dogs please send us an email in advance to: contact@artandsoleacademy.com and we will give Dorothy some time off! |
