LOOK Magazine, July 1954
In New York, dogs can be celebrities. Macy's, the famous Manhattan department store, trained these Doberman pinschers to perform various tricks, including jumping through hoops and striking elegant poses on wooden crates spelling MACY. As the company's mascots, the dogs traveled and entertained people at different stores and hotels.
