A Sunset Park photographer created an entire book, “Men with Cats,” to honor the unbreakable relationship between men and their whiskered pals. In the interest of equal coverage, this newspaper presents “Women with Dogs,” an in-depth look at the bond between women and their cuddly canine companions in the county of Kings.

Kerry, with Parker in Williamsburg: “She’s an unbelievably mellow dog that I love. My husband fostered her and it was about one day before he called back and was like ‘I’m adopting her.’ She’s extremely easygoing even though she lives in New York and she’s just an all around cool, laid-back dog. She does nothing wrong.”

Rabara, with Rufus in Brooklyn Heights: “He’s a really sweet dog. He’s very smart and he’ll just do whatever you want him to do. He’s very easygoing, one of the best. We play hide-and-go-seek and he comes and finds me behind the tree.”
