DOG DAYS

Whoever suggested that the British are obsessed with their dogs had never been to New York. The Brits are just more affectionate to their dogs than their children, New Yorkers on the other hand have replaced children all together. There are dog parlours, dog spas, even a dog tree in Central Park which memorialises dead local residents. But the undisputed pinnacle of this passion is the dog costume parade which happens every year a week before Halloween.
