As well as recording Puppy Love, singer-songwriter Dolly Parton once sang about working nine til five but it would appear she's been putting in some overtime too. For as well as also being an actress and philanthropist, she's launched a new clothing and accessories line for dogs called Doggy Parton. What else?
Working in partnership with Sportpet Designs, the global icon's range also stretches to a set of dog toys with the pet project claiming to introduce some “Dolly” flair.
What's more, part of the proceeds are going to a rescue called Willa B. Farms which provides a home to all displaced animals.
“Puppy Love'' was my very first record and six decades later, my love for pets is stronger than ever,” the 76-year-old said, in reference to the hit song she recorded aged 13 in 1959.
“This inspired me to start my own line of Doggy Parton apparel, accessories, toys and more with a little ‘Dolly’ flair.”
So far the website – which directs to an Amazon store – lists more than 20 items and these include dresses, shirts. Jackets, necklaces, wigs, costumes, collar and leash sets, squeaky toys and harnesses.
Parton also took to Instagram to promote the wares, explaining what is on offer.

'I will always love you, Dolly Mama. Thank you for my @doggyparton wig and accessories,' the caption said.
