This is such a sweet story about love and chance and acceptance. The landscape of foster care and the perspective of a dog is a fabulous way to understand love in a different, beautiful kind of way. The pictures are so cute and lovely. Quick read. Uplifting.

I enjoyed the story and the fun pictures of the sweet Labradoodle, Reagandoodle, and his toddler friend. I had not previously followed this author/Reagandoodle on Instagram so everything was new to me. This true story is all written from the dog's perspective, which at times was a little over the top to me, but as a whole it was all fun and enjoyable. It would be a lot of fun to read this book with a young child who likes dogs.

I received this book from the publisher in a Facebook drawing. I was not required to write a positive review.

This review is a little different from the books I've read and reviewed before but I like mixing things up every now and then. I wanted to read this book because it brings up several topics that I think are very important and hold close to my heart. Adventures of Reagandoodle and Little Buddy is a wonderful story about a foster boy and an adopted dog who came together, became best friends and enchanted the world with their love for one another. 

Adventures of Reagandoodle and Little Buddy is a wonderful story that tells the tell of adoption and foster care and what can happen if you support both of these wonderful causes. I wanted to read and review this book because I have been following their wonderful Instagram account (@Reagandoodle) and it just shows more of their wonderful love story. 

The book is full of fantastic, cute pictures of the dynamic duo. If you want to a feel good read with an uplifting story that will make you smile, Adventures of Reagandoodle and Little Buddy is for you!

Love, Love, Love this book and the story of these two friends. This is a feel-good story about a dog, his boy and the love that happens between foster children and their foster parents. If you like children, dogs and nice human beings you will enjoy this story. Proceeds also benefit foster families so it's a win-win. The photos are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The author is an excellent photographer that captures adorable scenes between Little Buddy and Reagandoodle.
The would also be a great gift to anyone that needs a smile!
Highly recommended.

I chose this book for the 52 Book club challenge, prompt "featuring adoption."
This is such a fun story, a serious story but told from the voice of the dog which makes it quite enjoyable. The main focus of this true story is fostering and adoption - fostering Little Buddy and other children, and including the adoption of Reagandoodle, a labradoodle. It is gorgeously illustrated with photography of the boy and dog together in many situations, in matching outfits. Fun, sweet, a forever friendship.

What a fun book to read! I was not familiar with Reagandoodle on Instagram. This book was about his life and adventures with Little Buddy. The pictures are great featuring these two friends who you can tell have a special bond. Some of the poses and ways they are dressed alike are so creative. My little guy liked looking at them too.

I like and appreciate that this book spreads awareness and information about foster care and adoption. This book is well done and is an enjoyable read.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for my honest review. Thank you.

A beautifully told love story, from the dog's perspective.

Share this book with others, a perfect way to convey that fostering is a way to share your heart and home with children that are all deserving of the basics fundamentals we take for granted each and everyday. The pictures are priceless and the message is filled with love. I couldn't put it down. And tears flowed at the end.

The best book I've read in a long time.

Because of the mission of Reagandoodle, the four-pawed Instagram star, I rated this a "5." Personally, my rating would actually be a "3." I am not a fan of anthropomorphism, although I understand its use in this book. Also, the story alignment of Reagandoodle, the "adopted" dog, and his foster "human nephews" was repetitive, and lacked subtlety. It is a sweet story with an important message, but not what I would normally choose to read.

A sweet quick afternoon read written through the eyes of Reagan. Sweet story of love between a pup and his boy acceptance and becoming family. I loved the photos sprinkled throughout the book. I can't wait to read it again and again. Reading this book every New Years day may become my new years tradition! Anxiously awaiting the follow-up story!

Reagandoodle loves Little Buddy and vice versa. Just glancing through the book's photographs is enough to make this read a priority. Reagandoodle shares with his readers the true story of his adoption and his best friend's life as a foster child. Their lives prove what can be and what should be: love, caring, and respect for others.

A sweet collection of photography and stories of a foster family's journey... Cheesy at times, but ultimately a wise and poignant view of the brokenness that comes before beauty in foster families.
Would recommend for anyone who needs a "pick me up" on their foster care or adoption journey. Or to "normal" families who just want a quick, heartwarming read.

I simple, quick read but very poignant.
Written in the dog's voice, there were times I was laughing, it really sounded like how I imagine my dog sees things.
This is a great look at the beauty of adoption and foster care. My 9 year old read this and she loved it. The chapters were only 3 or so pages with pictures of Little Buddy and Reagan on every other page.

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of the book from the publisher and it quickly became one of new favorite books! By far the most adorable book for sure. I loved how easy of a read this book is - and it's so heartfelt. Such a cute book that I will read many more times in the future.

A sweet story about foster care and the friendship between an adorable labradoodle and his equally adorable toddler best friend. Told from Reagandoodle’s perspective and full of precious anecdotes and pictures. I love a good book and doodles so this book was the perfect, short and inspiring read.

Cute and made me chuckle a few times. Also made me partially want a labradoodle, maybe.
