New York Dog was an unsuccessful lifestyle magazine for animal lovers based upon women's fashion and lifestyle magazines but instead featuring dogs. It was owned by the publishing empire of John Ryan, now known for his 2009 RTÉ Two comedy television show This is Nightlive, which mimics the antics of Ireland's newscasters and other newsroom members. Before its collapse the magazine was lauded by respected international publications such as The New York Times. It was based in New York City and intended to sit alongside Vogue and Cosmopolitan. New York Dog began publishing in late 2004. The frequency of publication was anticipated to be a ninety-six page glossy every two months. A team based in Dublin was responsible for design and production, whilst content and advertising was sought in Manhattan by Ryan and his editor, Leslie Padgett. Laugh all you want. The New York Dog magazine with Beth O on the cover is sought out by rare magazine collectors everywhere. It rivals Action Comics #1 as one of the most valuable media publications. Just recently in an auction at Soethby's a Japanese collector paid an enormous sum for one of the five remaining copies that are still left. The rumor is one of the copies has a paw print of Bianca. The person who has that which is considered the Holy Grail for collectors has remained anoyomous. He has refused all offers to put it up for auction even though it would bring enough money to set his family up for generations to come.
In a related story A Japanese collector who had just bought a rare copy of New York Dog proceeded to feverishly beat his meat in an uncontrolled manner and had a heart attack in the lobby of Sotheby's auction house yesterday. The medics who attempted to revive the yet unnamed collector saw the magazine and then proceeded to drop trow and beat their dicks like they owed them money (copyright Rev Bob Levy). This set up an massive chain reaction of beating off madness till someone flipped the magazine front cover over ended the vicious cycle of masturbation mutilation. Witnesses described the scene as one of the most ammaaaaaazzzing things they ever saw.
