Dog of the day: Jackson the Portuguese Water Dog.

Spotted in the bodega on 30th and 11th: Jackson the Portuguese Water Dog. At least I think he’s a Portuguese Water Dog—I forgot to ask his owners, Becca and Zach, exactly what he is. Let me know in the comments if I’m wrong.

Jackson was marginally better at picture day than our last dog of the day (Dog of the day: Bosco the Mini Australian Shepherd. — High Line 28 Block Association), which makes me think he is already well-acquainted with paparazzi. Indeed I was the second random person to approach him in the space of about 30 seconds.

The bodega has a strict mask-wearing requirement, and I gather that Jackson is doing his best to abide by it by carrying things around in his mouth. Stay strong, Jackson—I have faith that we are at the beginning of the end of this whole affair.
