Ozzie, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (4 y/o), 78th & 2nd Ave., New York, NY • “He’s energetic and loyal. He’s a little odd with other dogs sometimes – he sits by our side constantly. We have a newborn, and he literally just sits and stares at her all day long. It’s a handful having a dog and a newborn, but we love it. He’s the best dog I’ve ever had – he wants to be with me at all times.” | The Dogist

Maple & Mickey, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers, Cobble Hill Park, Brooklyn, NY • “You photographed our previous Toller, Nova, in the Halloween parade in Fort Greene. They’re very active, and they want to be working the whole day. It’s a little bit difficult in the city here – we’re from the Netherlands. But they’re used to it, they're New York City pups, and we get them upstate. Mickey grew out of four harnesses already, so now we have him in the old harness from Maple.” | The Dogist
