NYC: How Popular is your Dog’s Name?

Did you know NYC has a dog name database? Dogs in NYC (and most places in the US) are required to be registered with the city. It’s an easy way to make sure your dog can be easily identified if they ever get lost. New York City created an interactive infographic displaying every dog licensed in NYC, so say goodbye to the next 20 minutes of your time.
