Depicts dogs throughout New York City as they take walks, ride in taxis, lounge in apartments, and shop with their owners.

When Friedman moved to New York City, he missed the dogs that had surrounded him growing up. He began photographing dogs on the street, and posting them on his blog, The Dogist. Whether because of the look in a dog's eyes, its innate beauty, or even the clothes its owner has dressed it in, every portrait in this book tells a story and explores the dog's distinct character and spirit.

Argy Boy is a little black and white dog who lives high above the New York City skyline. He is so happy and comfortable in the apartment he shares with a friendly kitten, a talking parrot, and two goldfish. Argy loves to run and chase Blizzard the kitten all around the apartment. Run, run, run! Argy likes to listen to Soleil the parrot. Talk, talk, talk! Argy enjoys watching the goldfish, Woody and Moonstruck, swim around their bowl. Swim, swim, swim! But then one night, Argy hears a strange scratching noise coming from the kitchen. When he runs to investigate, he finds an unexpected visitor. Now, the fun really begins! Argy is so happy to have another pet friend: a tiny ballerina mouse. Shake, shake, shake! Argy Boy! is the heartwarming tale of a little city dog who makes a new pal and takes her for a ride around his apartment, where they both discover that playing with friends is more fun than anything else in the whole, wide world. Happy, happy, happy!

A celebration of New York City, told from the perspective of a dog.

Fierce. Flawless. Frenchie. With opinions on brunch (always boozy), work (something for lesser life forms), and everything (really, everything) in between, René-Charles is the ultimate New York City tastemaker. Whether he's dining at the finest restaurants or luxuriating in his king-size bed, this discerning French bulldog accepts nothing less than the best. And if you don't meet his standards? Well, he'll let you know.

A beautiful, heartfelt, funny, and inspiring collection of photos and stories that maps the relationship between canine New Yorkers and their human counterparts. New York is a city of five boroughs, more than 250 distinct neighborhoods, 8.5 million people, and more than 600,000 dogs, who are as much a part of the social fabric as the people who follow them on the other end of the leash. City of Dogs maps this relationship with incredible four-color photos highlighting the scene. From the Bronx to Brooklyn and along the streets of Harlem and Manhattan, Ken Foster and Traer Scott explore the unique relationships between dogs and their human counterparts. We meet Alex Nuckel, living on disability and finding joy and purpose in caring for his two pit bulls, Lucy and Rocky. And Majora Carter, a community activist who has received a MacArthur grant, living and working with two stray shepherds she rescued in her own neighborhood. City of Dogs also takes us to a Midtown Manhattan law office, where staff are encouraged to bring their adopted dogs to work, and to the JFK airport, where we meet dogs who help screen at security. And then on to Brooklyn, where we meet award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson and her dogs, Toffee and Shadow. These are just a few of the amazing animals and their people featured in this perfect gift book for any dog lover.
