My favorite dog book is about a group of rescue dogs being moved across the country in a caravan of motorhomes. The name of the book is Dogtripping: 25 Rescues, 11 Volunteers, and 3 RVs on Our Canine Cross-Country Adventure by, David Rosenfelt. I also loved A Dog’s Purpose and The Art of Racing in the Rain. Another great one is A Dog’s Life by Ann M. Martin.

I don’t remember the name, but it was a Christmas book about a dog for a little boy. It seems like the guy that wrote it wrote more than one of them.

Bedtime for Bonsai
(Guys & Dogs #4)
by Elaine Fox
3.63 · Rating details · 325 ratings · 26 reviews
Penelope Porter longed for a baby. But now that her marriage is over, she’s turned to the next best thing—a cute, cuddly puppy. Mr. Darcy’s an absolute sweetheart, but he could use a stint in obedience school. He keeps sneaking over to the shop across the street, the one owned by Baltimore bad boy Dylan Mersey. Not that Penelope minds having to fetch her dog from his handsome new friend . . .

Mr. Darcy? Only a high-society hottie would name a mischievous pooch after a romantic hero. No, to Dylan this pup’s name is Bonsai . . . and his owner’s impossible to resist. Dylan’s more rough-and-tumble than refined, but he’s about to prove he’s exactly what Penelope needs to forget her heartless ex.

Soon things are heating up between proper Penelope and dangerous Dylan as they learn that misbehaving isn’t just fun for the dog. What Penelope considers unsuitable quickly becomes unstoppable, and she discovers that true love truly is worth the risk.

OMG OMG OMG I always wait for someone to ask this because I LOVED Dog On It by Spencer Quinn. It’s told from the perspective of the dog and his owner is a private eye. It’s so fun, not to mention cute. My husband and I both read it and it gave us a whole new perspective on our doggo. Even better, it’s a series so you can keep reading to your heart’s content! ???
