Isabelle Klee, content creator and new York Times The best-selling author has had a prosperous career during her lifetime passion for dogs. Cleary’s love of dogs began early. While attending college in New York City, she began fostering dogs regularly and opened her heart and home to animals in need. After graduating with a degree in English Language and Literature, she turned her passion into a full-time role as an assistant to a leading dog photographer. For seven years, she lived and breathed the world of dogs – capturing their personalities day after day and sharing her experiences with her dogs and foster puppies through emerging social media content.
Losing her photography job unexpectedly became a turning point. Instead of seeing this as a setback, Clay focused on his growing online presence. She transitioned into independent content creation while continuing to document the emotional and rewarding process of rehabilitating foster dogs. Their honest, heartfelt videos deeply impacted their audiences, striking a chord with pet lovers who related to the joys, challenges, and sometimes tears, of rescue work.
Today, Cleary has over one million followers on TikTok, where her content continues to inspire and educate. Eventually he stepped away from freelancing to devote himself entirely to his personal platform and a new creative endeavor: writing. His first book, Dogs, Boys and Other Things I’ve Cried AboutWas released in April 2026. This memoir blends humor, vulnerability, and wisdom, weaving together stories of canine companionship, personal growth, and life’s difficult moments.
