All the Downtown Dogs We’ve Featured So Far

One of the best aspects of life in the city—or life in general—is dog-watching. And the good news if you’re stuck at a computer all day is that we’re bringing dog-sighting to you! Our Downtown Dog series highlights some of the cutest, sweetest and sassiest pups in Lower Manhattan. Here are the 10 we’ve featured so far:

1. Penny

Our inaugural Downtown Dog is the Andaz Wall Street’s own Penny. The one-year-old hotel ambassador spends her days sitting by the window and watching her kingdom.
