Bran, Sato mix (6 y/o), 17th & Park Ave., New York, NY • “He’s from Puerto Rico – he was born on the streets. He’s affectionate and playful. He has the best manners. I tried to copy you at one point — I had a site called Joy Dogs. ‘Stories of dogs and people who love them.’”

Happy Mother’s Day! I met up with my mom, Dr. Marisa Weiss, founder of Breastcancer.org,  for coffee and a chat about how I became The Dogist. I hope to see you guys at one of my upcoming tour events! See the full details at the link in my bio #dognation

Bali, Golden Retriever (4 m/o), Mulberry & Prince St., New York, NY • “He’s always biting my hands – I have scars everywhere. This shirt didn’t have any holes prior to him. We’ve been going to Bali for two years now. It’s where we first said our ‘I love you’s.’”

Olive, mix (2 y/o), W 20th & 10th Ave., New York, NY • “She’s from Kentucky; the vet thinks she’s maybe had some puppies. Once I saw her, I was sold. She’s sat through a couple Chicks in the Office podcast recordings – our producers made an Olive Cam.” A rescue via Muddy Paws Rescue

Panko, English Bulldog (8 y/o), 17th & 2nd Ave., New York, NY • “We’ve met before – you took his picture for Neiman Marcus when he was a puppy. He’s definitely a mama’s boy. This is my second Bulldog – they’re just like big teddy bears. They’re good at cuddling.”

Bear, German Shepherd (8 m/o), Tompkins Square Park, New York, NY • “She’s my first, and it’s been chaotic. It’s rewarding, but it’s taxing. I raised her in PA, and she started eating bear and deer poop. It was in the winter, so it was frozen, and it was like a delicacy to her.”

Cairo, mix, S 4th & South St., Philadelphia, PA • “I’ve always wanted a three-legged dog, because I was born without my arm. A rescue in New York flew him from Egypt to New York, and I picked him up in the financial district. We call his stump a chicken wing.”

Drago & Spencer, Cane Corso & Rough Collie (5 & 13 y/o), 19th & 2nd Ave., New York, NY • “With Spencer, since I’ve had him for 13 years, a lot of my best days have been alongside him, but also my worst. And that’s been a real blessing. Both of them are awesome.”

Woody, Husky/Labrador Retriever mix (5 y/o), 4th & Ave A, New York, NY • “He’s a really balanced dog – very easygoing. He takes a lot of work and a lot of patience, but he’s made me more social.”

Koda, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (5 y/o), Prince & West Broadway, New York, NY • “Not a lot of people know them – people try to tell me she’s a Mastiff or a Berner mix. She loves people watching. I got lucky – she’s incredibly well behaved. She’s changed my life for the better.”

Barbra Streisand & Chicharrón, mixes (8 & 3 y/o), Greenwich & Perry St., New York, NY • “I genuinely feel like Barbra has her coloring, and she has human eyes. She’s really good at laying, and he is really good at bothering her when she lays.” A rescue via Good Karma Pet Rescue

Tank, Dachshund (1 y/o), Spring & Greene St., New York, NY • “He’s high maintenance – he had steak for breakfast. He struts like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. During my mental health crisis, he was a major help. I don’t think I would go outside if I didn’t have a dog.”

Louie, Prague Ratter (5 y/o), Pearl & Avenue of the Finest, New York, NY • “I was looking for a dog that’s not loud, because I technically wasn’t allowed to have one. Turns out he fraternizes with Huskies at daycare, so now he howls.”

Tippy, Miniature Pinscher mix, Spring & Greene St., New York, NY • “I had another dog who I adopted in Miami Beach named Chica. I had her for 16 years, and she was great. When she passed, I thought I would adopt a dog that looked just like her, but he is evil reincarnate Chica.”

Elias Friedman, the man behind @TheDogist, captures images and stories of the dogs he meets all around the world, bringing smiles to his millions of followers. @DanaJacobson met up with him to discuss his new book and what we can all learn from our dogs.

Callie, Dalmatian (2 y/o), Prince & W Broadway, New York, NY • “She has crazy energy. So friendly. She’s loving and loyal — everywhere I go, she’s there. She makes the simple things happy, whereas before it was like, I needed the big things in life. Doing nothing is everything.”

Doug, Saluki (5.5 m/o), Spring & Greene St., New York, NY • “He’s my first Saluki. I had Great Danes before, but they don’t live very long, so having my heart broken twice was enough. He’s been working on ruining my house, but otherwise, he gives me joy. He’s hilarious.”

Rosie, mix, Prince & W Broadway, New York, NY • “She’s just a dog dog — we’ve never had her DNA done. She’s from down the street, from Best Friends. She’s very sweet. She’s frightened in the city, but she’s great with other dogs.” A rescue via Best Friends

Finn, Terrier mix (17 y/o), Prince & Mercer St., New York, NY • “I grew up a lot since having him. He likes people a lot, and he likes picking up shit off the street. He’s a runner — even today, he’ll run three miles no problem. He’s awesome.”
