People and their dogs coexist all over NY and I've seen every breed and size imaginable. I see them on leashes, in baby strollers, and tucked into handbags. There must be more dogs living in Long Island City than anywhere else in the city- its quiet here and I know of at least 3 dog playgrounds in a 2 block radius. Still, it's always a bit of a shock to see such an enormous beast walking down the street- after all, all these large dogs live in tiny apartments. But if they want to go on the subway, they must be in a travel bag...can you imagine trying to stuff this beast into your Louis Vuitton?
