If you have a dog, Central Park in the early morning
is the place to be. Dogs can be off leash,
and on a nice day, hundreds of good boys
and girls run happily amok — chasing squirrels
and generally having the most-fun dog
Des p i n a
Leandrou, a
vice president with
Orsid Realty, has rescue Greyhounds
and knows the ins-and-outs of
getting dogs into co-ops.
“Some boards will want to meet the
dog,” she said. “I’ve even heard of ap-
party ever.
Martha Redding is a lawyer who
lives near Central Park.
“In New York, having a big dog
is a lifestyle choice — you commit
to spending a huge amount of
time outside, no matter what the
weather,” she said. “Through my
dogs, I’ve met amazing people,
many of whom I would never
have met otherwise.”
Dog people help each other
out.
“Living in a dog-friendly building
means that I’m surrounded by
people who value pets,” Redding
said. “If I’m trapped at work or sick
in bed, I have neighbors who will
walk my pup for me, as I do for them.
We also text each other about raccoon
and coyote sightings.”
Seeking a pet-friendly building? Filter
listings on StreetEasy.com by “pets

Friendly.” In real life, visit a dog run
and ask people where they live. Not
all buildings allow dogs and ones that
do may have size limits or other rules.
