Jack

This four year-old fawn and white pitbull/whippet mix with the energy of a puppy took a lot of coaxing to pose. Sit still, Jackie boy!

Bishop

Part Australian cattle dog, part "reservation pup" (as in native american, not restaurant), Bishop was once immortalized by graffiti artist Chico.

Becky and Luke

This pair of very pale Golden Retrievers were getting set to make their modeling debut—for a friend's line of dog goods.

Trying to be patient while tied up on Great Jones Street.

Tessa of NoLiTa

Tessa is very, very affectionate: upon meeting me she stood up on her hind legs and wrapped her front paws around my arm to make a solid, furry cuff.

handsome Willy

Dolce

This gorgeous couple's little slip of a dachshund pup is four and a half months old.

Joe

As in "cup of Joe" said his owner, this fellow gets very cranky when left at home too much and is half-Italian Greyhound, half-Chihuahua.

Prince

"What's your dog's name?"
"Mumble."
"Crayons?"
"Mumble."
"Crince?"
"Prince."
"Oh, Prince." (I liked Crayons better.)

Wally by the West Side Highway

Straddled by the incomparable SM.

l'il helper

This little fellow in the smart vest spends time visiting people in the hospital. What a good boy!

shar-peis in the meatpacking district

The only thing that might possibly be less appealing than the drunk entitled hedge fund assholes who roam the meatpacking district? These lumpy, scabby, very aggressive dogs tied up outside across the street from the almost-dearly departed Florent. Actually, I'd rather spend an evening with these guys.
