If you've visited my blog a few times you know how much I love my pooches (well, almost all animals actually but I am partial to my pups). Since I love to see a great dog representation in books, I wanted to share some of my canines I've met during my reading adventures this year!
Stormi and I have continued our series read of the Dresden Files this year and I think we read 10 or 11 in 2025. Mouse, Harry's canine companion continues to be one of my all-time favorite pups. I'm pretty sure he is part mythical/part actual dogs but whatever he is, he is large, lovable, and scary when he needs to be. If Mouse ever dies (and trust me, he has been injured in a few books), I will never pick up a Butcher book again!
Hope's Crossing is another series I've been reading with Stormi. This book has been my least favorite installment to date, but there is a dog that is featured quite prominently which pushed it from a 3/5 to a 4/5. Leo, the stray Labrador the MC takes in and ends up adopting was definitely the high point in this read.
This book features the adorable and very opinionated Teddy who doesn't appreciate the fact that his owner has a new boyfriend. It being told from Teddy's POV only makes Teddy even more endearing.
If you love horror, I cannot recommend this series enough. And Belle, the hunting dog, who may or not be alive, is the best!
I adored this book and despite the somewhat hilarious title, it actually was pretty intense in subject matter. I cannot say enough good things about Brontë, who loves her owner so much that she is doing her best to make sure he has someone to take care of him when she is gone.
HONORABLE MENTION:
This is one of my favorite reads of the year even though it didn't show up on my previous list. How a stray named Cat ends up pulling together a found family and bringing people together completely pulled at my heartstrings. Serious people, read this book!
Do you meet any wonderful animals during your 2025 reading journey which I absolutely need to meet???
