Who knew there were so many Jewish dogs living in New York City?
Turns out, the metropolis is home to a handful of pups named Moses, Abraham and Kelev (Hebrew for dog). Just take a look at NYC.gov’s breakdown of the city’s most commonly-used dog names.
Worthing noting that there are four dogs out there named Babs, which, given this trend, we can only assume have gotten their namesake from the Jewish diva herself, Barbra Streisand.
Also, shout-out to Coco, one of NYC’s most popular dog names — there’s a whopping 852 of them!

At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
