Pets are important family members in New York City. Sometimes the attitude towards them amazes immigrants from post-Soviet countries, writes the blog author Elizabeth Gray on Yandex.Zen.

Next - from the first person.

Of course, we all love our pets, but we realize that we are people, and they are animals. And we cannot personalize them in any way ... But in New York everything is different. I will share with you stories from my personal New York archive.

One day, while entering the elevator of my house, I ran into a woman holding a cute black pug on a leash. I greeted her, to which she greeted me in response both from herself and from her cute dog.

Not immediately paying attention to this, I began to ask the owner what the name of her dear little friend was, to which, you just would not believe, she began to answer me not from herself, but from her pet, taking higher notes in her voice. It all looked something like this:

- What is your pet's name? - I asked the woman smilingly.

- My name is Pietro! - She answered in a funny, a little even cartoonish voice, looking at her dog, and not at me. The dog was looking at me at this time. So I really got the feeling that I was talking to a dog and not a woman.

Then, after thinking a little, I began to ask the dog:

- Pietro, how old are you?

To which the woman began to answer, again connecting her cartoon voice:

- I am 5 years old.

Further, I began to tell the dog all sorts of pleasantries that he is cute, etc.

To which Pietro said to me "Thank you!"

As a result, the hostess Pietro smiled at me, took the keys from her purse and left the elevator, leaving me completely bewildered ...

My dad also ran into a rather funny situation in New York, confirming the existence of some kind of cult on pets.

One day, walking away from the checkout at Target, he smelled a very tasty smell of pastries and, looking around, saw a small, pleasant-looking cafe with various cookies on the display window, which was simply impossible to walk past. Entering the shop, he ordered one of the beautifully decorated cookies and, after waiting for his order, asked for another cup of coffee:

-Coffee? The seller asked him, bulging his eyes.

At that time, my dad thought that maybe his English was not so clear to Americans and repeated:

- Yes, yes, a cup of espresso, please! Sorry for my English, I'm just a foreigner.

After that, he began to unpack the cookie that had just been served to him to begin his meal. She looked too tasty.

At this moment, the seller, choking with laughter, began to point to the sign of the store's name: “Barking Dog”, which my dad did not initially notice, explain to my dad the following:

-You got it all wrong! This is a dog cafe! Dog owners come here to buy something tasty for their beloved pets. And you are the first customer who tried to order coffee from us ...

As it turned out, in New York, a fairly large segment of the market specializes in serving our pets, and in the most unexpected areas.
