Here's the data is plural description: "You might have seen New York City’s bubble map of dog names. It turns out that the underlying dataset — which includes the name, gender, age as of 2015, breed, and borough of more than 110,000 dogs — is available on GitHub. You can also download slightly older, but more detailed data from WNYC’s Dogs of NYC project. That data includes each dog’s coat colors, whether it had been spayed/neutered, and its ZIP code. Related: Similar pet license data from Tacoma, Wash., and Edmonton, Canada. [h/t Alex P. Miller + Dan Nguyen]"

Lets add this awesome satellite data too: http://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/space-weapons/satellite-database.html

Also from Data is Plural: "The Union of Concerned Scientists’s Satellite Database currently contains 1,305 entries and is updated “roughly quarterly.” The longest-orbiting: AMSAT-OSCAR 7, an amateur radio satellite launched in November 1974. Related: The satellites, visualized. [h/t David Yanofsky]"
