Not Your Sweetie

A 10 foot shiny plastic dog appeared in Tompkins Square Park last week. He stands in a shallow pool of water on a platform under a roof. "The Dog is You - You are the Dog - this is about Community" proclamis a Haagen Daas board next to it (they sponsored the thing, along with Marion Boeski). An uniformed guard was there on a chair next to it last week, but he's gone now. Yesterday, the dog's closed eyes started squiting water - like long eyelashes. "I like him" Maya said. "He's brand new, I like brand new things"
