Good Dogs of Gotham: The Working Dogs Who Built New York

New York City was built by millions of hands, but it was also shaped by thousands of paws.

In this special edition of NYC’s Secrets & Lies at the AKC Museum of the Dog, four master storytellers take the stage to share the history of the incredible working dogs who dedicated their lives to the five boroughs and celebrate the four-legged New Yorkers whose legacies still impact our city today.

But there’s a catch.

Your city knowledge—and your instincts—will be put to the test. In our signature game of historical detective work, three of these stories are true and one is a total lie. Can you tell the difference between a legendary hero and convincing fiction? If you can sniff out the lie, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a great prize. And because dogs are always all about treats, a selection of snacks will be included with the price of your ticket.

Join us for an evening of NYC history, mystery, and the goodest boys and girls who graced our streets.
