Awww! Thank you for that wonderful story! I think NYC often gets a bad rap from folks who don't really know it. They should read this Substack article. This IS NYC (at least, it was). I'm from Long Island originally, don't even live in NY State any more, and I haven't set foot in the City in maybe 16 years, but I've never forgotten its neighborliness. Some time in the late 1970s, when I was a teenager, I lost a hard contact lens on the sidewalk in Midtown, on 7th Avenue. I had the same type of experience you relate about Central Park, though it was hardly as dramatic as yours. Dozens of pedestrians stopped to help, some crawling on hands and knees. We found the lens eventually, in about 9 pieces, but I went home filled with appreciation for all those people. Anybody who tells me to my face that New Yorkers are cold and uncaring gets to hear this story, and maybe some others. They just don't know. 😃 Also, I agree a thousand percent about dogs. They are the BEST. So glad you found your good boy unharmed and in good spirits!
Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. It also touched me emotionally. Newyorkers got the rap from the media portraying them as rushing insensitive people without a heart. I lived in Manhattan for 24 years, so I know that's just not true. At all. Beautiful comment. Thank you! ✌️

By the way, my dog also thinks she's my boss. (I tell her her middle name is "I'll have what you're having.")
LMAO. 😆
