Features

The New York Times praised New York Dog for its quirky features such as "The 10 Best Walks in Manhattan" and guidelines on how to keep a dog in a custody battle as well as plans to include photo shoots of dog haute couture, dog horoscopes and obituaries, dog dieting tips and pop psychology advice for dogs. An alternative view on its subject was sought in the shape of prominent New York journalist Jimmy Breslin, who dislikes dogs. He wrote a column titled "The Back Yard" and "Who Let The Dogs Out".{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/16/business/media/16dog.html?ex=1250481600&en=af74ad9eca12ed6c&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120908011633/http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/16/business/media/16dog.html?ex=1250481600&en=af74ad9eca12ed6c&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 8, 2012|title=For Dogs in New York, a Glossy Look at Life|date=August 16, 2004|accessdate=January 12, 2009|work=The New York Times|author=Brian Lavery}}
