Dog lovers can finally rejoice, because not only is there a show dedicated to all things canine (the yearly Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show), but now there’s a photographer sharing his love for all of these presented pups for free on social media.

Meet Elias Weiss Friedman, a photographer who has set out to capture the true beauty of dogs, and is now sharing them all on his Instagram account, @thedogist, for all to enjoy. Think lots of snouts, jumps, licks and head tilts, all designed to melt your heart during the super chilly days.

We can’t think of a better opportunity to snap such photos than at the 140th Westminster show, which recently took place in New York. There, the prettiest pooches and most talented tail-shakers were celebrated, with a German short-haired pointer strolling away as the Best in Show.

Here’s the good news. If you missed the show, you can still check out Friedman’s photos below, along with a few extras from his account. And believe us when we say that you don’t need to be a dog person to appreciate these pics; they’re kind of the cat’s meow.

This pup would beat us in a staring contest any day.

Saffron, Airedale Terrier (4 y/o), #WKCDogShow, New York, NY • “She’s like my girlfriend – she likes to stay in my bed, much to the chagrin of my wife.”

I spy, with my little eye, a big old black-and-white snout.

What do you mean you ate all the bacon?

Skye, Belgian Tervuren (2 y/o), #WKCDogshow, New York, NY • “She’s the first show dog and Tervuren we’ve ever had. This dog can find treats anywhere.”

Guys, it’s a little chilly in here, mmmk?

Ruffy, Afghan Hound, #WKCDogShow, New York, NY • “She’s wearing a snood. Afghan Hounds have long, furry ears, and when they go down to drink water, it keeps their ears from getting wet.”

Chill, it’s my turn for a hug.

Junior, Bluetick Coonhound (3 y/o), #WKCDogshow, New York, NY • “He plays with a mini Poodle at home that chews on his ears.”

I’ll be your valentine!

Mitchell, Plott Hound/Labrador Retriever mix (3 y/o), 9th & 2nd Ave., New York, NY • “He’s a hugger. You might want to let him hug you before you take his photo.”

This is how dogs wear their heart on their sleeves. Er, collars.

Maw, I told you I don’t want to cut my hair.

It’s a dog-eat-dog kinda world out there.

Simon, Chihuahua mix (15 y/o), Times Square, New York, NY • “All his teeth are gone, but he’s super healthy otherwise. He’s attached to me like we’ve been together our whole lives. He’s needy for love. Susie, our other dog, is fine and comfortable, but she’s not looking her best for the camera.” @susiesseniordogs

Don’t mess with the paw patrol.

It’s just a little snaggletooth. The dentist was booked.

Mabel, English Bulldog/Pug/Boston Terrier mix (1 y/o), Pier 84, New York, NY • “Mabel is our little athlete. She’s a high five champion and a snow enthusiast. The deeper the snow, the better. She wants another blizzard.” @mabelandmatilda

I’m pawsome and I know it.

Liam Neeson, Pembroke Welsh Corgi (2 y/o), 43rd & 10th Ave., New York, NY • “His mother and father are both Champions, but we don’t show him. If you look closer, he stands like a ballet dancer in first position, which is not a disqualification, but a deduction.”

Beautiful, right? Yep, we thought so.
