It’s hard not to smile a little at the scenario, what with a man carrying a large pooch roughly 40-50 pounds in a canvas tote bag. Yep. Totally casual.
Whoever this man is, he’s not the first one to try to sneak a pup in for a ride on the subway.
Here’s one dog who looks totally defeated by having to stay in his little bag.
And another who looks a bit worried about why the heck he’s in a bag at all.
You do you, New York.
