THE DOGIST

Elias Weiss Friedman

Photographic Encounters with 1'000 Dogs

This beautiful, funny, inspiring, moving tribute to the beloved dogs in our lives, based on the enormously popular blog, has the feel of an instant best-selling classic. It's the canine version of Humans of New York and is finding a similarly devoted audience among dog people and beyond. - THE DOGIST is a New York Times Bestseller - it is on the November list for books about animals, in the company of such noted authors as Helen Macdonald (H IS FOR HAWK) and Virginia Morell (ANIMAL WISE).
Every page presents dog portraits that command our attention. Whether because of the look in a dog's eyes, its innate beauty, or even the clothes its owner has dressed it in, the photos will make you ooh and aah, laugh,
and fall in love. Photographed by Elias Weiss Friedman, aka The Dogist, every portrait in the book tells a story and explores the dog's distinct character and spirit. Themed sections include Puppies, Cones of Shame,
Working Dogs, and Dogs in Fancy Outfits, giving every dog lover something to pore over.

Elias Weiss Friedman grew up near Philadelphia, in a big family of brothers, sisters, cousins, and dogs. After graduating from Boston University in 2010, he moved to New York and held a job at a major brand strategy agency for two years. But after a round of layoffs, he wanted something more authentic and creative to take on. Inspired by his circle of friends in New York City's startup culture, he decided to combine the two things he has loved since childhood: photography and dogs. Friedman created the wildly successful blog and Instagram feed, @TheDogist, in 2013.
