    Have you met Buckets, a French Bulldog Instagram star?

    Buckets is a blue pied French Bulldog, born and raised in San Diego, California. He has a big personality, and he is much more concerned with what humans are doing than what other dogs are doing. At the park, you can find him huddled around the humans, waiting for belly rubs and sniffing for treats. He was born without sections of his vertebrae and therefore has inflammatory bowel disease and scoliosis, but that doesn’t slow him down. He enjoys naps, cuddling, eating cucumbers, playing frisbee, and chasing his racquetball around the house. He is a registered Emotional Support Animal (ESA) and offers love to everyone who crosses his path.

    Starring in a book of his own, Buckets Goes on a Winter Adventure is a story of friendship and determination, and will encourage readers of all ages to explore the mysteries of the world around them.

      I love dogs. I have a rescue dog, from Lap Dog Rescue who is smart, a loving dog and devoted. This would be an ideal book for my grandsons and granddaughters.

      I like all animals, including dogs. I would like to win this because I have a young family member who likes dogs and books, so they would enjoy this. The premise of the story, finding out where snow comes from, sounds entertaining and fun.

      I love dogs – mine was adopted from the PA Boxer Rescue and I volunteer at our local animal shelter. If I win I would read it and then donate it to my local library where serve on the Board. We have a K-Pets reading program to help kids learn to read by practicing reading out loud to a encouraging dog, which we hope to start up again soon.

      We love dogs we have 2 chihuahuas and they are my lap dogs. They are just wonderful and so playful we were worried when we brought in a puppy last year but no problem she gave him a sassy look for awhile and next thing we know they are running all around my scooter and it was so funny.

      We are a dog-loving family (5 in our immediate family), part of a larger, extended dog-loving family. I would be excited to share this with our newest great-niece. Her mother tells me she is collecting animal-related books for the new baby; I’m glad to encourage our shared love in the next generation.

      Our whole family loves dogs and my wife is the school librarian. This book would be added to her collection of read alouds for her students.
