We talk to Elias Weiss Friedman, the human behind the wildly popular, @dogist Instagram page about stylish, New York City dogs and the secret to great dog photography. 

In this special episode, we learn the religious and cultural importance behind the Bark Mitzvah. Despite its surface frivolity, these ceremonies have an almost two thousand year history: connecting the modern animal welfare movement with a long tradition of Jewish trauma and persecution. They celebrate not just one dog but all dogs - giving thanks to those animals that love us unconditionally.
