Dog looks on as owner eats noodles LEADIN The pet fashion industry is booming in Japan,despite the financial crisis. And the latest hot dog trends on the catwalk include sunglasses, scarves and themed outfits. STORYLINE Shades on, tongues in, noses wet. These three cool chihuahuas pose behind sunglasses at Pet Expo 2009. And when it comes to puppy power, this youngster in the pack is not to be outdone in a bib with floral head gear. Some pets have it all - here, these poodles take \"going for a walk\" to another dimension, as they are given a ride in a hand pushed buggy. When it comes to dogs in Japan, fashion and fashionable accessories are a major must. Sunglasses, ribbons and scarves are the most common themes this year. Another trend is that the Japanese like their dogs to be small. Chihuahuas, miniature poodles, dachshunds and yorkshire terriers are among the breeds most heavily represented at this year\'s Pet Expo in Osaka. Sporting the latest looks, owners made sure their dogs look their very best for the occasion. One of the highlights of the expo is the dog fashion show. Owners design and often make their dog\'s outfits. One of the judges is Tani Masatomi.
