City of Dogs: New York Dogs, Their Neighborhoods, and the People Who Love Them

By Ken Foster

Book Overview

A beautiful, heartfelt, funny, and inspiring collection chronicling the unique relationships of the canines of New York City, the humans who share their lives, and the communities they live in. New York is a place of immense complexity and diversity-a place where relationships can virtually define love and loyalty. In NoHo, a neighborhood forged by the neighborhoods surrounding it, Noah and Oz share a boxing gym where Noah, a trainer and entrepreneur, inspires the best from his clients but easily accepts the quirks and attitudes of his dog, Oz. There is a genuine sincerity in their companionship, a simple give-and-take that is mirrored by Freyja and her person, Joanie, who live on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Joanie, a film production worker and art curator, and Freyja, a former Puerto Rican street dog, thrive on the electricity of a place that pushes boundaries and expands their lives every day. These are just a few of the forty stories featured in this incredible collection. Ken Foster and Traer Scott explore and document, with vivid prose and beautiful photography, the distinct neighborhoods of New York's five boroughs, home to 8.5 million people and 600,000 dogs-New Yorkers all-who, with simple elegance, help to define the world's greatest city.
