Take the 5: The Pets of NYC

This week's "Take the 5" podcast episode is all about the pets
and animals of New York City. We recorded the episode on Election
Day, not knowing who would become President. But regardless of
the outcome at the time, we hoped it will be a respite from
political news for all of you!


Michelle, Justin, and Nicole talk about the new Pets of NYC
exhibition at New York Historical, the former Canine Chief of
Engine 203, the euthanization of squirrel Instagram star, Peanut,
and more. We even have an audio reading from Peggy Gavan, 
author of the The Bravest Pets of Gotham: Tales of Four-Legged
Firefighters of Old New York. Michelle also talks about her
experience when rats moved into her car during the
pandemic.
