Clever People Who Got Their Way Without Technically Breaking Any Rules

The NYC Subway Said Only Dogs That Fit in Bags Could Ride

Everyone in New York City knows that dogs are banned from riding the subway unless they can fit inside a bag. One man faced this challenge with his large dog, which clearly wouldn’t squeeze into a normal-sized carrier. Determined to bend the rules, he found the most oversized bag he could—a giant IKEA tote—and managed to tuck his pup inside. Surprisingly, the dog seemed perfectly content to ride the subway this way

So, did he really break any rules? After all, the dog fit inside the bag, even if it was an unconventional choice. Who cares if it wasn’t a typical pet carrier? This clever workaround highlights how New Yorkers often find creative solutions to navigate the city’s strict regulations. It also raises the question: Should the subway rules adapt to accommodate larger dogs, especially when they’re well-behaved and pose no harm? For now, this man’s ingenuity kept both his dog and the rules happy.
