NYC Dogs In Bags Are What You Need In Your Life Right Now

There's even a pup in a giant IKEA bag.

The MTA in New York City has a ban that prevents any subway rider from bringing a dog on the train... unless that dog fits in a “container.”

The stipulation also indicates that the dog-in-container must be carried “in a manner which would not annoy passengers.” New Yorkers, being the ingenious human beings they are, have discovered truly incredible solutions to work around this rule:

Seriously, there are all kinds of dogs hangin’ out in all kinds of bags:
