This Afghan hound is destined to become an international supermodel
Some dogs are just destined for greatness.
Meet Tea, a 5-year-old Afghan hound who's become something of an internet sensation in the past year. With her long silky locks, excellent posture and vacant stares, 'Tea' has everything it takes to become an international pup supermodel.
Just look at her.
Tea lives in Sydney, Australia, with her owner, Luke Kavanagh. He knew she was beautiful, but he never quite expected Tea to become this popular.
"Even our weekend walks draw a crowd. She pretends she doesn’t need the attention, but she definitely loves it, just like any supermodel," Kavanagh told The Daily Telegraph.
A photo of Tea recently went viral and was shared over a million times.
The dog has become a spokesman/barksman for Royal Canine and was recently featured in an ad campaign for Harriot and Hounds' dog perfume.
As much as Tea is enjoying her newfound fame, her manager/owner Luke Kavanagh has been forced to turn down further offers from companies wanting to showcase the dog:
"Her retirement is due to no other reason than I reached a point where showing (grooming and show day) was taking me away from spending time with my family and I want to prioritize them over campaigning my dog," Kavanagh told The Daily Telegraph.
For now, we'll just have settle for these incredible, sadly non-pettable photographs.
