The “hang-dog look” is sweeping New York. Everywhere you look this summer, the PuppyPurse is enabling the city’s most fashionable dog owners to turn pint-size pooches into eye-catching accessories. A pet carrier that’s mostly straps, the purse has attracted critics, who say dogs get distressed when carried with legs dangling. Users of the harness counter that by saying that their Chihuahuas and Yorkies enjoy getting air-cooled on hot days. Whichever side is right, a small dog strung from the hip sure looks great with a simple shift and heels.
