This is a BEAUTIFUL collection of photographs and declarations of love for Lil Bub. There are many wonderful contributions from a wide variety of people, all of which clearly loved Lil Bub dearly. This book does a great job documenting her life from the very beginning of her getting adopted, to her contributions to medical and scientific discovery, and many other amazing things Lil Bub accomplished while being here. I'm thrilled to have this book on my shelf forever in honor of the amazing being that was Lil Bub.
I haven't yet been able to read all of the lovely anecdotes but of the ones I have, they have been lovely and touching and truly depicting of who Bub was. The book itself is an immediately obvious labor of love. It's beautiful and visual and an art piece all on its own. It's really wonderful to have the entire official story of Bub and the wonderful people around her.
