Over the course of the decades that he has spent studying dogs and the people who care for them, he has come to the realization that dogs are able to make people’s lives better by making people themselves better. Dogs are able to work to improve us and they often save us, giving our lives ever-greater meaning as well as fulfillment.

We look for these things so often in our human life, but also often times the answers can be right there in front of us in the form of our dogs.

This books together the many stories of the dogs that Elias has been fortunate enough to meet and get to know, in the course of doing work for the Dogist but also in his personal life.
