From New York Magazine: A front-page piece in today’s Times tackles “de-barking,” an elective surgical procedure wherein the dog’s voice box is modified, leaving a raspy, wheezy sound in place of a full-throated bark. Featured is a dachshund-terrier mix called Nestlé, whose “vocal cords were cut by a veterinary surgeon after a neighbor in the family’s apartment building on the Upper East Side threatened to complain to the co-op board about the noisy dog.” (Photo: Jill Greenberg) (Original NYTimes article) Ah, the world of Upper East Side co-ops. Has anyone dealt with a similar experience?
