and they even go to the gym! Americans love their pets. In 2003 they
spent $8 billion on them. There are about 68 million dogs in the USA,
but the lucky ones live in New York. In New York dogs cannot run in
parks, so they need exercise. Lucky dogs can go to the swimming pool
for dogs at « Doggy village » in New York. , there are special taxis
for dogs, because normal taxis refuse to take them. Pet taxis take dogs
to the veterinarian, the park or to the gym.

Many New Yorkers are single, and they treat their animals like
children. For many New Yorkers, having a dog is a perfect way to meet
new friends Dog owners in New York want to give their dogs everything.
They take them to special restaurants, to parks where children are not
permitted, and. They employ dog walkers and dog babysitters. They buy
dog perfume and chic dog clothes . Many rich New Yorkers take their dog
