New York

A ‘Doctor Who’ puppet visited New York and it the cutest thing we’ve seen all week

Every now and then something will come to our attention that just warms our hearts. Does everyone remember Ryan Gosling’s cuteness compared to puppies? We certainly do.

As a Time Lord, The Doctor Puppet is a tourist wherever he goes. He travels all over New York. From Grand Central Terminal to Coney Island all the way to Prospect Park, this city is his playground. He even made a quick pit spot in Philly.

With every stop, The Doctor Puppet has a little something to say about his location.

When he visited Sunset Park in Brooklyn he tells his audience that he joined a picnic and did some cloud watching. Adorable, right?
 
It’s not all good days, for The Doctor Puppet, though. When he visited Prospect Park, he tried to play football, but was told he was too short. When he went to Coney Island, it was unfortunately too cold to swim. It’s OK, Doctor Puppet, we have bad days too. And at least there are no Daleks, right?

So meet our new friend in the photos below. We can’t wait to see where his next adventure takes him.

He walked down Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn.

He visited the main branch of the New York Public Library.

The Hudson River was a little smelly but The Doctor Puppet said he still enjoyed himself.
