With the Brooklyn Heights Association?s annual Dog Show returning to Montague Street Sunday, Sept. 23?part of the BID?s Summer Space?it seems apropos to share info about how much New Yorkers prize their pets. Webbie Puppy Tales featured a ?New York Dog Spotting? post Sunday, with stats from the NYC Economic Development Corp.: As of February 2012, +/-1.1 million pets reside in the city (600,000 dogs, 500,000 cats), with an ownership rate of about one pet for every three households.
The corporation breaks down ownership by region: Downtown Brooklyn, which includes the Heights, is home to between 15,001 & 20,000 pets. The most-populated NYC nabes are the Upper West & East Sides (lining Central Park), Staten Island, Astoria and?for whatever reason?Williamsburg.
Meanwhile, BHA President Judy Stanton shares with BHB readers that the organization will offer registration information and details for the Brooklyn Heights Dog Show soon after Labor Day. She says, ?The idea is to make this homegrown show fun for dogs, their owners and the audience. Any dog who lives in Brooklyn Heights is eligible to enter the show on a first come, first served basis.? Poochie lovers with suggestions for show categories can email info@thebha.org, heading the Subject with ?Dog Show.?
