Cantoni goes doggie style with ‘yappy hour’ and Posh Paws gala

Posh Paws was inspired by designer Eero Aarnio’s polyethylene puppy.

Contemporary home furnishings boutique Cantoni is helping design better lives for furry quadrupeds. This month, they started “yappy hour,” a Saturday afternoon pets-welcome whingding where your best friend can sample doggie pastries and while you get to lap up the vino.

On Thursday, Cantoni is having their Posh Paws gala, a doggie pageant and auction where celebrities put their original stamp on designer Eero Aarnio’s stylized polyethylene puppy sculpture, above.

Fashion designer Nicole Miller, footballer Terrell Owens, FOX news anchor Baron James and l5 others re-embellish the Aarnio pup to help raise money for Operation Kindness.

Posh Paws Gala at Cantoni Dallas, 4800 Alpha Rd. June 26, 7 p.m.-9 p.m. Cantoni.com/poshpaws
