A middle-aged man with light skin, gray facial hair, and blue eyes taking a selfie outdoors in an urban park. He is wearing a brown hoodie under a green jacket and a plaid cap. Behind him is a black metal fence, green grass, some trees, and tall modern buildings.

I’m Brandon — founder of Hound Society, lifelong Jersey City resident, and proud dog enthusiast. Standing 6’6”, I’ve spent the last fifteen years walking these city streets with a steady hand, a calm presence, and an artist’s eye for detail.

When I’m not walking dogs, I’m often painting them — occasionally commissioned to capture the quiet nobility of a hound or the mischief in a terrier’s eyes. Dog walking has always felt like the truest expression of that same art: patience, rhythm, and connection.

Dogs have a way of grounding us — reminding us to slow down, breathe, and notice the small things. That’s the spirit behind Hound Society: thoughtful walks, steady companionship, and a touch of old-world charm right here in Jersey City.
