My Buddy Butch: Confessions of a New Dog Dad Book

My Buddy Butch is a humerous, touching, true story of how a little, rambunctious Boston terrier gives Jeff a new perspective on single parenthood, unconditional love, and learning to slow down in this hectic world we live in today. After Jeff's mom passed away, the family decided to get Dad a little female Boston terrier puppy to keep him company. This was just what the doctor ordered and when "Buttons" had her first litter of pups, Jeff was not far behind from his own furry bundle of joy! From eating the carpet to taking over an entire king-sized bed, Butch went to great lengths to turn Jeff into a "New Dog Dad!" The book illustrates how these little dogs eased the pain of the loss of a wife and mother and brought a son and his father closer together, giving them something in common to discuss.
