5th Ave at 18th - Frequent Fliers

A new ad agency from Texas recently opened upstairs. Since then, I've noticed a huge increase of dogs in the building. One day, as I was heading out to lunch, I shared the elevator with two executives and their two dogs. I joked if there was a dog park upstairs. Turns out, when the ad agency was starting up, the president loved having his dogs nearby and encouraged his employees to bring their pets to work. The company took off and this perk was expanded accordingly with the company flying the dogs out with their employees and arranging for them to stay with their owners wherever they go.

The two executives and their dogs flew in from Houston a few days ago. This weekend, they will all be flying to the newly opened San Francisco office.

The London office opens in a few months.
