Park Slope, Brooklyn
From the new book: City of Dogs New York Dogs, Their Neighborhoods, and the People Who Love Them
“We were learning to walk the Brooklyn streets as though we had always belonged to them— our voices loud, our laughter even louder,” Jacqueline Woodson wrote in her novel Another Brooklyn. “But Brooklyn had longer nails and sharper blades.” These days, Jackie is teaching her newest dog, Shadow, how to walk those streets. Shadow is a recent transplant from the South, just as Jackie and her family were back in the 1970s. As she walks Shadow and her elder dog, Toffee, it is both easy and hard to see how much the neighborhoods have changed and how much they remain the same.
