Abhishek Joshi founded Dog with Blog in 2009 and has grown it into a 150,000-strong community that has helped place more than 1,000 dogs and cats in homes across India. He writes evidence-based pet-care guides, runs verified foster and adoption listings, and tells the stories that move people to adopt.
His writing for Dog with Blog appears in The Book of Dog, an anthology alongside Ruskin Bond, Gulzar, Maneka Gandhi and chef Vikas Khanna.
