My Good Dog NYC

Take an 8-1/2 x 11 pad of paper, turn it sideways, stick on a head and you have Nina, a truly adoggable New Yorker. She rescued me in October 2011 at the estimated age of four years, and that moment marked the beginning of beginnings for us both.

Lulu, my 11-year-old mini poodle, rests under a bench along the East River. She loves to run, swim, chase tennis balls and explore the city with me. Her T-shirt says, “I love dog-gone New York!”

This is Disco, unofficial Mayor of the LES, and real New Yorker. 4 1/2 years old (going on 2 months) he’s obsessed with reflections of light and often seen leaping six or seven feet in the air to lick the face of anyone who welcomes happiness.

This adorable pug was rescued and given a second shot at life and is therefore named Mulligan.

When not dressing up for Halloween, he enjoys eating, sleeping and snoring.

This is Jordan. He’s an 11-year-old shiba inu. Likes: Chicken, napping, barking at the door. Dislikes: Mondays.

Gypsy is 6 years old and loves her squeaky toys.

This is Bonson…Rog Bonson, my extremely hyper Yorkie. He loves to play and show everyone his tummy.

This is Mr. Oliver. He’s 8 years old, was born on Christmas day and loves to play in the park. Muah!
