Surveying Midtown Manhattan

Riding in cars with … dogs. A German shepherd surveys Midtown Manhattan through a sunroof in this image from the Times archives. The sweet and resourceful pup looks directly at the viewer as if he’s saying hello.

The image is a wonderful representation of this description by New York Times reporter Andy Newman, who wrote the Pet City column about the lives of pets and their owners: “A lot of dogs have that ability to just kind of channel their emotions and their thoughts or whatever is occupying them, it just shows immediately in their face. Cats are a little bit more opaque emotionally.”
