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.

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.
