The only reason we might have expected to see a puppy coming down a fashion runway would be if a toy breed escaped from the clutches of its fashionista owner. But during Vivienne Westwood's latest runway show at London's fashion week, spectators were caught off guard when a model strutted down the catwalk with a dog not in her arms, but in her pants.

This pair of skinny, cropped trousers is a part of Westwood's Red Label collection and features a sewn-in puppy pouch.

Will pooch-pouch pants be the new dog-carrier handbag for 2010? They're hardly flattering for the figure, but might be just the right fit for take-my-dog-everywhere types.
