Ruby, a miniature pinscher, wears a “Yummy Dress” from Ruff Ruff Couture along with a Swarovski crystal pet necklace and brown mode polka-dot collar and leash set, all from the Blaze-N-Skyy collar collection.

Asheville is inarguably a dog-friendly town, and now there’s dog fashion for those furry friends. Here, a quartet of style-savvy canines sport the latest in dog accessories from Blaze-N-Skyy Pet Boutique & Wellness Center (62 Wall St., Asheville, 253-2850).
