| The Dogs of New York During the 1970s and 80s, New York Citys canine population was drastically reduced. Whether this was triggered by Mayor Ed Kochs enactment of the "pooper scooper" laws or whether New Yorkers simply lost interest in dogs is still unknown
What is certain is that since 9/11, the situation has completely reversed. In the past five years, the number of dogs in New York City has increased to an all time high of 1,250,000.
Psychiatrists, psychologists, and social scientists have speculated that this explosion of new dogs is due to a great need by their owners for unconditional love.
Psychotherapist Michelle LeBow, who with her therapy dog "Ego", is featured in "Dogs of New York" comments: "I don't know what you would do when you come home every night to an empty apartment. Your apartment is... empty, until you do have a sensate being there."
New Yorkers have found great comfort in their new dogs. But dog love comes at a high price for working city dwellers, who have helped build "doggie day care" into a $55 billion business nationwide.
The Dogs of New York spend their days at the Ritzy Canine, an historic 1820s carriage house in midtown Manhattan, whose owners have had completely renovated to accommodate dogs.
From the chandelier over the reception area, to the roof garden with its waterfall fountain and solarium, no expense has been spared.
The dogs at the Ritzy Canine are surrounded by professional attendants, who actually spend more time with them than their work-weary owners.
Most are dog owners themselves- but in sharp contrast, their dogs remain at home like latchkey children, waiting for them to return from their daily charges.
"Dogs of New York" is a multi-layered film that uses comic relief to take a look at post-9/11 New Yorkers struggling to regain the peace and balance they once knew, and to find that the healing power of a dog's love is worth everything- no matter what cost or inconvenience.
