Ethical canine fashion finds a home at Gone to the Dogs in Park Slope
When Jenn Wong and Santos Agustin first met working in fashion, they bonded right away.
They connected over shared interest in the ethics and sustainability of their industry. Coincidentally, both brought home rescue dogs, Ollie and Miles, around the same time.
The foundation for their friendship soon sparked an idea: a business that would combine slow fashion with their love of dogs.

The holidays are right around the corner, and as usual, I find myself scrambling last minute to try and gather everything together in time. I’m excited, yet at the same time anxious, all in one.
Let’s face it, this year has been tough, what with Covid and the presidential election – and the holidays are proving no less. Events and parties have been cancelled, shopping is all online, and I don’t know about everyone else, but it looks like I won’t be able to connect with my own family in person this year. A lot of ‘gatherings’ will have to be done virtually, so I count my blessings that I at least have Huckleberry and Bobo, by my side. My plan is to go all out on decorations to add some good vibes and cheer within my own four walls.
As I shop and click, I’m reminded of holidays past. Many of my family’s stories revolve around kids of course, but there are some equally favorite stories about our dogs or the dogs we looked after.
