His spirit is absolutely amazing. I love his shorts and watching him interact with other peoples dogs and maybe talk to him as if they were his own is always a joy to watch as a pet owner myself his spirit, purity and joy for what he does definitely spreads happiness all throughout.

The Dogist is popular because we all just want to hangout with dogs all day!

I didn't know The Dogist has been featured in NatGeo.

So, now he's a s/m millionaire! I love to hear stories where success happened organically, no preconceived master plan, just a labor of love that caught on. That's the best!

I love Elias and he’s the first I watch on Instagram when I check it. I am glad he has his own dog now and his reach is such that he’s a celebrity in his own right. My sis is in NYC just now (from Scotland). I hope she gets a chance to see the Dogist. If she does I will be very envious.

"dogs don't need that much to be happy, they need food and love right? That's soomething I always aspired to do is to take a page out of their book, become more simple in the way I look at the world." - Elias Weiss Friedman aka "The Dogist" 2017 :')

What's weird is that I saved this video to watch later way before I got Insta. Now I have Insta and I instantly followed this guy. And now I get to watch this and understand.

2:54 the silence after "Midtown Doesn't have any dogs" is so funny to me

Thanks to you, Elias, for your words and your deeds. Seeing this has brought the relief that's been in such short supply for the past several months of anger-charged politics. I think you've found a key to joy, both for yourself and others. From an old new fan.

He should make it into a service of doing dog profiles for owners, capturing their dogs character in a collection of photos and maybe do something for kids and dogs. Should also set up a patreon page to fund his work and eventually appear on tv etc..and he should get a dog with a beautiful owner !
He could do his service at events ..say dog shows and carnivals or festivals as a service to make people smile and appreciate their dogs
Mans best friend
