About this episode

What makes the bond between people and dogs so special? Elias Weiss Friedman, creator of The Dogist, has captured millions of hearts by documenting this unique connection through his journalistic style of dog portraits, which reveal each precious pup's unique personality. In this photographic tour of his work, he reflects on his global travels documenting humanity's four-legged best friends — and reminds us of the magical ways dogs make life better. (This conversation was hosted by TED’s Cloe Shasha Brooks.)
