By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Zabi the Pomeranian, as most folks will tell you, is a special dog. Apparently unable to produce even the faintest bark, Zabi has had to resort to alternative methods of communication.

Portland Pup Wins ‘Best Dressed’ Award

Stella, a bulldog from Portland, ME, has been named “Best Dressed” by the city’s mayor and chamber of commerce.

“Stella’s sense of fashion is unrivaled,” said county executive Ed Dooley at a press conference. “It’s a real joy to watch her trot down the street in those designer threads. That’s why we’ve put our important work on hold so we can give her a trophy.”

This is not Stella’s first foray into the elite world of fashion. She has been featured in numerous magazines and blogs, and intends to walk the runway at this fall’s Dior show.
