As a little girl growing up, having a pet of my own was always on my wish list. Christmas of 2012, a four-legged Yorkie named Buddy entered our family. My 10-year-old self was overjoyed and filled with excitement, as Buddy became my closest companion. In April of 2018, I lost Buddy due to an unexpected illness. For days, I found myself sitting in the driveway dreading the thought of walking through the door knowing Buddy would not be there ready to pounce on me. It took weeks to come face to face with the reality that he was gone. I wrote this book not only in remembrance of my dog Buddy, who taught me first-hand to love like there is no tomorrow, but also as a reminder that no matter what, you always have a BUDDY to LUV.




Buddy Luv woke up; it is a new day and the sun is shining. But oh no, Buddy Luv is feeling lonely and sad as he lost his dear friend. He was unsure if he would ever find someone else to share adventures with. Then, to his surprise, his spirits were lifted when he met a little girl named Grace. Even with her differences, Buddy Luv and Grace became the best of friends. Together they realized adventures are better with each other and everyone needs a BUDDY to LUV.
