Why your support matters
Not a dog owner but this couldn’t be more against the spirit of NYC…the tarsnformation to trust fund playground is almost fully complete while our public parks deteriorate.
Oh god. Just imagine what hanging out with these people would be like. Nothing but a group of 30-something product managers and creative strategists probably saying “doggo” multiple times in a conversation. Puke.
$100+ a month and they can’t afford more than one vowel
Why not give a portion of the proceeds to shelters that are underfunded and overcrowded? How about a discount to those who have rescue animals? If they are going to charge so much there is an opportunity for some goodwill and to help the rescue community.
As a dog owner, I’m actually excited about this. I’m tired of walking around the neighborhood where people don’t pick up after their dogs on the streets or in dog runs. It is disgusting.

It’s unfortunate, but I’ll pay for a pleasant experience over what is going on in the neighborhood now.
