Elliot Stabler and Marceline

Marceline is a Yorkie-poo who was rescued from a puppy mill. Elliot Stabler is a street thug, who we rescued from a box in a parking lot. Natalie passed away from congestive heart failure at 14. She is also in this family portrait.

Emma Walton Hamilton

Meriwether Lewis

While he projects the bravado of a naturalist and explorer, Lewis is actually a neurotic mess, voted most likely to botch his own suicide in an inn called Grinder's Tavern.

Slink

This is Slink, the adopted bearded dragon.

Carla Caglioti

Max

Max is a Yorkie-Siberian Husky mix adopted from a shelter in New York City. He's loving, clumsy, motivated to do just about anything by treats, and loves visiting with seniors and kids as a therapy dog for A Fair Shake for Youth and a host of Senior Centers. His favorite things include cheese, snow, family time and his squeaky duck.

Martino

Martino (“Marty”) in a pensive mood, lounging in silk pajamas. Marty is Robert Reeves’ “grand-dog,” officially the pet of his son, Evan. As is customary with grand-dogs and grandchildren, Reeves has the pleasure of short, indulgent, treat-filled visits, without any obligation for discipline or sidewalk clean-up.

Leo

20 month old Lab Mix!

Simone Pero

Genevieve Sly Crane

Ichabod

Ichabod is passionate about eating and grooming. He is a gentle spirit who prefers to maim and then play with a mouse at length, rather than kill it. He is also a reluctant yet gifted actor, and has held important roles in his human friend Niav's two features.

Niav Conty

Dozer

Mostly schnauzer, part terrier, part retriever, part chihuahua, part hound. All lovable.

Scott Sullivan

Banana

Banana is a one year old Pomeranian, who loves people more than bones and chicken.

Kate Levitt

Charlie

A rescue and a good boy.

Scott Burkhardt

Amelia and Sabrina

Amelia and Sabrina are two highly accomplished cats living in New York with their fairly boring owners. They've both received accommodations from several prominent media outlets for their revolutionary research in the field of feline activity. Notable academic papers include "How to Spread Litter Over as Much of the Basement as Possible" and "Opening all the Cupboard Doors, Even When Child Locks are Installed."

Marissa Levien

Hopper

Hopper loves to keep me safe from squirrels, turkeys, deer, random people and cars turning around in my driveway.

Will Chandler

Apollo

I will tell my own story, thank you very much. I, Apollo, was named for the swift god, or Rocky’s true friend, or a cool theater in Harlem. Sometimes I go by my hip-hop name, ‘lil bastard, often followed by, “give that back!” I’m known for my larceny, my agility, and for being smarter than a “professor”

LB Thompson

Leo

Leo is an eleven year old blood parrot whose favorite snack is peas!

Elizabeth McRae

Riley

Riley, a sheepadoodle, arrived just before the pandemic. But to amuse himself during lockdown, he chomped through 6 pairs of glasses, innumerable shoes and socks, a sweater or two--he was stopped before he did significant damage to a leather chair. One of his favorite activities is to hop on the bed, and move the four pillows into a fort, then plop down right in the middle with is stuffed bunny.

Lou Ann Walker

Iggy and Gertrude Stein

Mini Australian Shepherd, 2 years old and a rescue mini-dachshund about 12 years old.

Kathleen Russo

Dimple and Creamsickle

Manuscript assistants.

Karen Bender

Ginger and Smudge

Ginger is a Texas-born rescue pup with the energy of a toddler on espresso and the brainpower of a doggy supervillain in training. They think she's a lovely mix of blue heeler, Australian shepherd, and chocolate lab, which makes her a furry tornado with a PhD in mischief. Ginger enjoys long zoomies in the yard, performing unauthorized home renovations (see: chewing furniture), and outsmarting every baby gate known to humankind. Smudge, on the other hand, is a refined senior gentleman who exudes elegance and mischief in equal measure. My fluffy feline aristocrat spends his days napping in sunbeams and devising overly complicated schemes for global domination. His hobbies include judging your life choices, stealing Ginger’s treats with surgical precision, and pretending he wasn’t just sprinting through the hallway at 3am.

Chrysovalantou Tsoumpelis

Zadie

Zadie's mind control is strong. She showed up in a dream, led me to the shelter before she was listed for adoption, and corrected me, in my sleep, when I misnamed her. She now sits on the front of my paddle board and will soon be driving my car and responding to your emails.

Magdalene Brandeis

Agnes

Varda or de Mille, depending on the day.
