Dogs Have Their Day: AKC Dog Museum Opens In New York City

Staying away from New York City's newest museum could be ruff.

The American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog reopened in New York City on Friday, after spending decades on the outskirts of St. Louis.

Located on Bark, er, Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan, the museum's collection includes a terracotta dog paw print that dates back to the Roman empire, a dog-pulled cart from the Victorian era and an extensive array of canine fine art.

Painted pooches like Millie Bush, who belonged to former president George H. W. Bush, adorn the walls, showing just how prominent our beloved pets can be.
