Being a bonafide It Girl in this town comes with many demands. There's party invites to juggle, BFA photos to pose for, faces to pretend to remember having met... Certainly in the smoke and mirrors world of New York glamour, there's no better grounding force than once, sometimes twice a day, picking up dog shit off the sidewalk in front of a parade of passersby.
The socialite furry plus one is of course a tried and true pairing - a tail as old as time, one might even say.
Tory Burch has her two tiny, fried-chicken-esque doodles, Chicken and Slim. Lauren Santo Domingo's got her hands full with two mischievous French Bulldogs. Aerin Lauder's Upper East Side home is filled, unsurprisingly, with a decidedly classic duo, a Brittany Spaniel and Long-haired Dachshund. Always one for a 90s style throwback, Ivy Getty's pup Blue is a pocket-sized Chihuahua. And Georgina Bloomberg doesn't just talk the talk with her animal activist work, girl's got houses full of furry rescue friends.
Much like apples and trees, dogs and owners always tend to share the same roots, no?
