Subway Dogs Ride NYC Transit in Vogue Photo Essay
New York City subway riders regularly encounter dogs despite an MTA rule requiring them to be carried in bags. A Vogue photo essay by Hannah La Follette Ryan captures dogs like Zino, a four-year-old Havanese owned by Perris Cavalier, riding the G train from Greenpoint to Downtown Brooklyn. Six-year-old ridgeback Lady, accompanied by Naomi Mishkin, travels from Prospect Lefferts Gardens to Dumbo. Two-year-old Vizsla Mishmosh rides with Charlotte von Hardenburgh, who admits to disregarding the rule during off-peak hours. Owners say police officers are among the dogs' fans. The essay includes images of pups peeking from totes and larger dogs on Ikea carryalls.
