Your dog’s photo on a wine label

Dog Lover’s Wine Club (‘Love My Dog -- Love My Wine’) does the usual wine club thing: delivers bottles (mostly from Santa Barbara County) to its subscribers at various intervals. But there’s a difference: A percentage of sales goes to the Humane Society ... and every bottle has a portrait of a dog on the label.

If you’re seriously, seriously dog-ocentric, you can even send them a photo of your own pooch and they’ll put it on a bottle of wine ($62 for a photo, $102 for a digital painting) or even a 12-bottle case ($382/$430). Maybe the dogs appreciate this as much as their owners; could be. But that raises a question: How long is 15 minutes of fame in dog years?
