It was a while ago that we created our book list featuring cats and it has been on my radar since then to get a list compiled for our favorite books that feature dogs. (Because if you have one, you must have the other, right?!) Well, there have been so many darling “dog books” released recently that I figured it was the perfect time to compile that list.
Below are our favorite books that feature dogs and there are some on here that are really endearing to us. They are like little puppy friends that we visit when we read their books and they allllmost make us want a puppy of our own. Almost.
