The Dogist
Loki, Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix (5 y/o), St. Marks & 2nd Ave., New York, NY • “I got him from the shelter here in the city. He’s a very one-person dog, very much bonded to me. He’s traumatized from his home, but I’m traumatized from my first home, so we get on like peas in a pod. Two months after I got him, I left my ex-wife. I was like, you can abuse me, but you can’t abuse the dog. And I agreed to protect him, so I left in the middle of the night. And we’ve been on so many adventures since. Living in the city afterwards and traveling the country together, hopping freight trains. I call him my primary partner.”
