In 1964, The New York Times profiled a 32-year-old Upper East Sider who left a comfortable job in electronics to do something no one else was doing: walk dogs, professionally. Armed with leashes and charm, Buck strolled Manhattan’s sidewalks with five, six, sometimes eight dogs at a time, drawing crowds and one-liners from doormen and cops alike.

He wasn’t just walking dogs. He was building an institution.

By the time he died in 2013, Jim Buck was widely credited as the first professional dog walker in NYC—and likely the country. Rain, snow, or Park Avenue sunshine, he showed up in a tie, often with a better stride than the men in suits.

Reminder: if it's too hot to walk barefoot for humans, it's too hot for your dog!

What is a "Red Flag Rescue"?
What is a good and what is a bad animal rescue? The following list is a bunch of questions to ask yourself to help you choose where you get your next pet and from which dog rescue. This is the list many concerned veterinarians are talking about. Hopefully you find it useful in helping people find a great new rescue dog for their family...there are excellent rescues out there and there are those who we refer to as "Rescue Retailers".

“What’s the hardest part about having a dog?” they asked, their tone casual, like it was just another question.

I glanced at the worn leash hanging by the door, my chest tightening. “Letting them go,” I said quietly.

They frowned a little, waiting for me to explain. “They come into your life like they were always meant to be there,” I said, trying to find the words. “They make everything better—simpler, brighter. And you think it’s always going to be that way. But it’s not. One day, they’re gone, and you’re left with all the space they used to fill.”

They nodded, but I wasn’t sure they understood. “It’s not the messes they made or the routines you have to let go of,” I continued. “It’s the absence. You walk into the house, and it feels... wrong. The quiet is heavier. The mornings don’t feel the same without them nudging you awake.”

“So why do it?” they asked, their voice softer this time.

I sighed, glancing down at my hands. “Because the love they give you is worth every bit of the heartache. They teach you how to love without holding back, even when you know it’s going to hurt in the end. And you keep choosing that love because you know it’s one of the best things you’ll ever feel.”
