Frenchie fashion

Chic canine Bruce looks rather fetching in his doggy dress-ups.

The two year-old Frenchie, who is owned by Werribee couple Helen and Brad, is participating in Petember.

The charity campaign is asking animals and their humans to attire themselves for weekly costume challenges, to raise money for Variety – the Children’s Charity.

Funds raised during Petember will help Variety provide assistance dogs for children with autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing disorder, anxiety and epilepsy.

It can cost up to $40,000 to train one assistance dog.

Helen said that Bruce did not mind wearing costumes as “he knows he gets treats”.

The photogenic pup, who has more than 3400 followers on his @monsieurbrucealmighty Instagram account, has one ear smaller than the other.

Bruce has already helped Helen and Brad to raise more than $1000 for Petember.

Helen said she was running $4 Fridays during which she asks people to donate $4 to Bruce’s campaign.

“Every dollar counts, it doesn’t matter if you donate $1 or $100, so many people know someone, or are affected by, things like autism and anxiety,” she said.
