Brinkley, the golden retriever from the movie You’ve Got Mail, is from the home of Tom Hanks’ character, Joe Fox. The dog plays a notable role in the film as the loyal companion to Joe, often seen in scenes with him. While Brinkley isn’t directly associated with a specific real-life location, the movie was primarily filmed in New York City, particularly in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, which serves as the backdrop for the characters’ lives.
