Central Park has always been an essential part of Central Park has always been an essential part of our @argosandartemis DNA—the same week I moved next to Central Park was the same week I adopted chief canine officer Artemis. We made friends with neighbors during off-leash hours, which, in turn, inspired our weekly newsletter, the Dog Park. When I got laid off from my first job in my mid-20s, I spent hours wandering The Ramble with Artemis (on leash), trying to clear my head and find purpose in the flora and fauna. We were extremely unhappy to hear about #AmyCooper weaponizing her white privilege to call the police on #ChristianCooper, an avid birder who sits on the board of @nycaudubon, while choking her Cocker Spaniel, Henry. Since day one, we have believed that we should be the people that our dogs believe we are—and that includes fighting against anti-racism and anti-blackness. Our next issue of the Dog Park will include resources to combat anti-racism wherever you are. Subscribe today to receive it on Saturday morning! We are a socially conscious dog brand, we believe that true empathy extends beyond just loving our dogs, and we’re grateful that you’re part of our community 🙏

How to shop like a London dog like Mycroft the Cav How to shop like a London dog like Mycroft the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, first son of media executive Leslie Hitchcock-Stone: “Our favorite brand is @butternutbox —we rely on them intensely. It’s fresh, handmade food. Some of it looks and smells like pâté that you could get from a restaurant! My husband and I are periodically like, we could eat this, because it’s actually tested on humans. It’s very nutritious. Mycroft eats the beef and lamb and turkey—he loves them. We’re suckers for the @barbourdogs jackets. He’s so low to the ground that when he goes outside when it rains—and it’s always raining in London—he just gets soaking wet. He picks up leaves and trash and gunk, which is why we keep him in a shorter cut. He has this jacket, and then he has a Mudfy Paws jacket that keeps him warm during the winter. The other thing I absolutely love is the @henry_wag Microfibre Cleaning Towel. It’s a super-high absorbent towel. We have one for his baths and one that we keep by the door. He’s got hair rather than fur like my parents’ Golden Retriever. The water really soaks into him. So, when he comes home, we use this towel—it’s amazing. It’s better than any random towel.” Link in bio for our full conversation ⬆️.
“Happy #NationalRescueDogDay, friends! Once upon “Happy #NationalRescueDogDay, friends! Once upon a time, I was a stray puppy captured by Animal Control in Miami. Then, I got my very own European Union pet passport and began traveling the world, meeting the pampered dogs of influencers, aristocrats, royals, celebrities, diplomats, academics, artists, writers, entrepreneurs, and more! Now, I run a company that is about to come out with our first product (!). Cheers to being a rescue dog! We deserve the very best (and make pretty good founders because we’re scrappy).” —chief canine officer Artemis
“We got Mycroft to help us make [my son] Jude. W “We got Mycroft to help us make [my son] Jude. We were having a really hard time getting pregnant. We ended up doing IVF, but we’d always read that having a pet around was really helpful for couples suffering from infertility. So, that was one of the reasons why we got him, as emotional support to bring down the stress. We tried a lot of suggestions, and one of the more extreme ideas was to get a dog. I always say, Mycroft is my first baby. He’s still the center of the family. It was really hard when Jude was born because babies are so intense with the moms for the first three months. I had to hold Jude all the time. I chose to breastfeed and Mycroft was very confused as to why he couldn’t get in my lap! [...] Mycroft did actually feel very pushed out at first. Luckily, Toby [my husband] was there to support him. I kept telling Mycroft, ‘When this baby starts eating solid foods, you’re going to be very, very excited because he’s going to drop it on the ground.’” —Leslie Hitchcock-Stone, former @techcrunch director of international events and dog mom to Mycroft (👶 Jude’s big brother).

We’re checking in with our friends across the po We’re checking in with our friends across the pond—meet Leslie Hitchcock-Stone, the American-born media executive who was most recently @techcrunch’s director of international events, and her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Mycroft—named after Mycroft Holmes, the elder brother of Sherlock. “Before I moved to London, I lived for 10 years in San Francisco,” she tells us. “I had always wanted a dog, but I traveled a lot for business. Also, San Francisco isn’t super dog-friendly in terms of apartments. If you don’t own your own place, you’re probably not going to be allowed to have a dog. Cats are fine, but dogs—not so much. It just never worked out for the decade I was living there. My husband did not grow up with animals, so he wasn’t really interested in having a dog. I thought I would get my dog when my kids grew up and left the house. But I started campaigning with my husband to get a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Mycroft. Finally, he agreed, but my husband suggested a Jack Russell Terrier or an English Springer Spaniel. But those dogs require a lot of exercise, and I knew I would be the one doing it. So, I told him that the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel would be good with children—if we ever decided to have one of those someday, too.” And yes, like his namesake, Mycroft does have a human sibling, now!
