Ever wonder how dog walkers manage those enormous packs of dogs, let alone make ends meet? Meet Nadir Samara, a New York City dog walker who makes more money walking dogs in Brooklyn than he did working for an insurance company in Philadelphia.

ABOUT the series: We see them every day and often depend on them. They are an integral part of the fabric of any city, including New York. They are the people who make our lunch, deliver our dinner, drive us around, walk our dog, and sing for us in the subway. “My Everyday Hustle” offers five fascinating firstperson profiles that reveal the struggles, successes, and “daily hustle” of everyday people.
