Dolly Parton is excited to announce the launch of her dog apparel line, Doggy Parton.
"'Puppy Love' was my very first record, and six decades later, my love for pets is stronger than ever," she said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "This inspired me to start my own line of Doggy Parton apparel, accessories, toys and more with a little ‘Dolly’ flair. Part of the proceeds will support Willa B. Farms, a rescue where animals in need find never-ending love. Don’t we all need that?"
The idea for Doggy Parton came about through Parton’s love for all animals and her desire to transform their everyday items with a little extra sparkle which would reflect the fun style and personality of the country music icon.
So far, the collection includes a printed denim and gingham bandana, a cowgirl collared dress, a microphone plush dog squeaky toy with rope, a pink winking butterfly plush crinkle dog toy and a sparkling beaded butterfly necklace.
