The Best Dog

A gorgeous, heartwarming, and comedic collection of pup portraits and stories celebrating the enduring bond we share with our dogs, from acclaimed photographer, Aliza Eliazarov

Capturing animals’ unique personalities with humor and grace for over a decade, Aliza’s portraits have been exhibited and published widely, including on the covers of Modern Farmer magazine, BarkBox ads, and U.S. postage stamps. 

From couch potatoes to working dogs, Aliza takes us on a journey revealing the individuality of our loyal companions through dazzling photos and captions that illuminate the deep connection we have with our pets. You’ll meet Frank, the bulldog who loves a tire; Maggie, the Jack Russell terrier who delivers homemade cookies to lobstermen via kayak; Eddy, the hero mutt who saved her farm from a fire; and many more soulful, funny, and downright adorable pups.

With evocative portraits and hilarious observations of almost 100 dogs, The Best Dog will confirm what we already know—dogs really are the best.
