Hi All,

I was just curious if anyone has run into any problems bringing their little one onto the subways in NY. I know you are not supposed to, unless they are in a bag. My yorkie is 5 pounds, and sits comfortably in my lap. I'm new to the area, and have not once seen someone bring a little dog onto the train, but my friends have assured me I'd have no problems doing so. I've stayed on the side of caution and generally bring a bookbag with me and put her in that iwth the top open and her head sticking out. It's just annoying to stick her in there - she doesn't like it and puts up a fight every time until I get her in, at which point she's fine. Having the bookbag isn't all to bad, as I can use it for storage to keep some treats and water in it but curious if I'd be asking for trouble if I took her out and kept her on my lap. Has anyone been asked to leave the train or received tickets for doing so? Has anyone ridden on the train with their dogs out, and authorities see it and ignore it? Complaints from other passengers?

Thanks for any thoughts on this!
