Buddy The Bulldog - Hardcover

by Jessica Thompson (Author), Chuck Rekow (Illustrator)

Buddy the Bulldog tells the Story of the difficult journey from being the smallest pup and being overlooked to finding a loving home at DCCH Center for Children and Families.

As a puppy, Buddy struggled to keep up with their siblings and was often ignored by potential families. Despite attempts to get noticed, Buddy is labeled "too small, too loud, and too hyper." After suffering several rejections, Buddy ran away, searching for a home, but faced hardships living on the streets. Eventually, Buddy finds refuge in a community where people at a flea market show them kindness, and children are excited to have Buddy join them in their play. The children take Buddy to the DCCH Center; Buddy learns that each child there has also been mistreated and abandoned, but DCCH welcomes them. Buddy found a forever home at DCCH Center, where they thrive and play a key role in making everyone feel safe, included, and loved.
