This book will change your perception of dogs. I have loved seeing Elias Weiss Friedman talking to dog owners and photographing dogs, getting only their best sides. Throughout the book, he describes how dogs make such a huge impact on their human families, from service dogs to family pets. He is transparent with the stories he tells about his friends, the people he meets along the way, and even himself.
Elias has travelled the world and encountered dogs in all kinds of situations. His heart is easily discerned through his stories and through his pictures. When he talks of his friends and their dogs, the love shines through. When he encounters street dogs his heart breaks for them. His anger burns at puppy mills, his love shines through when dogs are obtained through reputable breeders or adopted from a rescue agency. He applauds fostering--even when it fails and the foster becomes the pet adopter.
This book may not change your life, but it will give insight into dogs and dog owners. I loved it.
Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and a dog to love you forever.
