CANINE CAPERS

In my blog "WALKIES" published on 15th. December 2008, New Yorker's love of dogs was highlighted. It cannot be stressed enough how prominent the canine 'cuddly' is within the NYC street scene and the obvious love, affection and pride stretched across the visages of the owners, is apparent for all to witness. Below are just a few photographic examples of the pooch in New York City:-

Watching the world go by

Something in the city

"If it's not the Easter Day Parade my street cred's blown."


"Fidel Castro is my name."


Fire dog


Lock up your daughters - the Fleet's in town

Let's see what some famous and erudite people have said about dogs:-

"My little dog - a heartbeat at my feet."

Edith Wharton

"They never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation."

Jerome K. Jerome

"Happiness is a warm puppy."

Charles M. Schulz

"A man may smile and bid you hail

Yet wish you to the devil;

But when a good dog wags his tail

You know he's on the level."
