Theodore, Shar Pei (4 y/o), 23rd & 9th Ave., New York, NY • “I’m his walker. He’s very aloof, but also sweet. He doesn’t care much about other dogs. He has a small sister, and she’s wild. You can’t wear black, because of the saliva. I love my job – it’s kind of therapeutic.”

Braxton, English Mastiff (1 y/o), Tompkins Square Park, New York, NY • “He’s goofy, he loves dogs, but he’s a little jumpy with people. He’s about 150 lbs. He’s super cuddly – he sleeps in our bed with us, and so it’s tough, all three of us kind of sleep like toothpicks.”

Bunny, mix (4 y/o), Tompkins Square Park, New York, NY • “She loves going to the bar. She also loves ice cubes, and she’s addicted to tennis balls and bodega cats. She was actually just in a little ice cream photoshoot for Van Leeuwen.” A rescue via Hearts & Bones Rescue

Virgil, Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix (13 y/o), 11th & 2nd Ave., New York, NY • “He’s a hospital therapy dog. He helps everything – kids, the cancer center, the psychiatric ward. He’s named after Virgil Caine because he was found hungry and barely alive in Georgia.”

Bernice, Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull mix (3.5 y/o), 13th & Broadway, New York, NY • “She chews things and steals my food – she likes paper towels. She’s eaten an edible before. She acted really weird, but she was okay. She was on another planet, though.”

Snowy, Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix (2 y/o), Union Square, New York, NY • “She doesn’t come when she’s called. If she got loose right here, I would have one of you go out and call her because she would come to you; she wouldn’t come to me. She thinks it’s a game.”

Josh, mix (2 y/o), 31st & Broadway, New York, NY • “I was visiting family in Kentucky, and he was a stray. He was very playful, and my niece was like, he’s so cute, and I said he was joshin’ around. He has tons of energy – we’re on a five mile walk now.”

Cane, Jack Russell Terrier mix (6 y/o), Houston & Thompson St., New York, NY • “He gets up around 4:30-5:00 in the morning, but he doesn’t do anything in the house. I’ve had dogs all my life – I’ve had about eight. And they lasted long – one last to 20 years old. He was a mutt.”

Freddie, Standard Poodle (3 y/o), Bedford & Carmine St., New York, NY • “He just got groomed pre-Passover grooming on Friday. He was named for Freddie Mercury – a little bit of flair. I found people who are good at grooming Poodles – he gets hand-scissored.”

Voodoo, Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix (4 y/o), Broome & Thompson St., New York, NY • “My ex-girlfriend bought her off of Craigslist, and she was going to put her back on Craigslist, so I said I’d buy the dog from her. She’s hyper and very active. She’s a lot of fun.”

Dallas, Labrador Retriever (2 y/o), Prince & Lafayette St., New York, NY • “My mom named him – she was a Cowboys fan. He was my mom’s dog, and then she passed. He reminds me of her everyday – I think she’s in there somewhere. And he loves me unconditionally.”

Maxine, mix (8 y/o), Spring & Mulberry St., New York, NY • “She belonged to a man in Colorado, and then he died, so I got her. We’re both getting old, so maybe we’ll kick the bucket together. She’s a wonderful dog. She likes to walk down the street and pee on everything.”

Koda, German Shepherd, Thompson & Prince St., New York, NY • “You happened upon the most beautiful dog in town. He’s smarter than the average dog. He’s not aggressive – he won’t initiate with another dog, but he’ll react to a dog and stand his ground. He also won’t take snacks.”

Odin, French Bulldog (3 y/o), 48th & 1st Ave., New York, NY • “He wants you to pet him so bad. He finds benches and people-watches, and then when he finds people that show him any sort of attention, he gets excited.”

Lylee, Pomsky (5 y/o), Honey Locust Park, New York, NY • “We’re Indian, so she’s a vegetarian. No chicken.”

Louie, Italian Greyhound (3 y/o), 57th & 1st Ave., New York, NY • “He has, like, six good rotating outfits. Having him has given me someone to care for and think about more than myself. If I bring him to my friend’s apartment, I’m packing a bag, so I feel like I have a kid.”

Mitzi, mix (14 y/o), 62nd & 1st Ave., New York, NY • “I love everything about her. She’s my seventh dog. When I went to get her, since I’m not young, I said I want a medium-sized dog, medium age. And that’s what I got.” A rescue via Bideawee

Goose, Labrador Retriever (3 y/o), 74th & 1st Ave., New York, NY • “He’s mellow and the sweetest dog. He’ll always get into food no matter what – you can’t keep your food on the table. Gotta seal the trash can. He goes down to Bethany Beach every summer and swims.”

Duke, mix (9 y/o), 63rd & 1st Ave., New York, NY • “He’s such a sweet dog, it’s sad to think that I don’t know what happened to him. He was adopted out twice from the shelter, and I was the third – I’ve had him for seven years now.”

Su, Siberian Husky (1 y/o), 83rd & East End Ave., New York, NY • “He really likes to chase the cat, but my cat is even more sassy, so he’ll slap him back. I got this scramble from a store once, and I put it very high on the counter, but he jumped over and got it down.”
