Elias Weiss Friedman is a photographer best known by his online name, The Dogist. He started photographing dogs on the streets of New York City and posting the portraits to Instagram, where the account quickly attracted millions of followers. His first book, The Dogist (2015), collected hundreds of these photographs alongside short stories about the dogs and their owners. He followed it with The Dogist Puppies (2017), focused specifically on young dogs.

After a gap of several years, Friedman returned with This Dog Will Change Your Life (2025). His work appeals to dog lovers and photography fans alike, and his distinctive approach of treating each dog as an individual portrait subject gives the books a personal quality that sets them apart from typical pet photography collections.
