Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Animal Companions (These animals can be real or fantasy!) (submitted by P.S. I Love Books)
I was thinking about just doing a post with the word dog in the title, but it turns out I already did that a couple of years ago and I would have used a lot of the same titles! Instead, I am choosing books where there are dogs in the books. First though, here's a recent picture of our good boi, Max.
Now, onto the books!
A Snowy River Summer by Stella Quinn - Features a black labrador named Herbert.
Snowy Mountain's Daughter by Alissa Callen - There is a kelpie named Bundy in her series who just moves from place to place around town, whereever he is needed! (My review)
The Woman Who Met Herself by Laura Pearson - One of the characters, Debbie, starts walking a dog called Bonnie. (My review)
The Recipe for Happiness by Jane Lovering - Seren finds herself temporarily owning a Collie called Kez. Or is it temporary? (My review)
The Mirror by Nora Roberts - Mooks, Jones and Yoda! With all the books that Nora Roberts has written how on earth does she come up with character names and then have multiple dogs in the story too! I'm listening to this one at the moment!
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - How could anyone forget Six-Thirty the dog? (My review)
Starting over at Starlight Cottage by Debbie Viggiano - Tilly tells her dog Cindy all her secrets. I mean, I talk to Max. I am not sure that he is that good at keeping secrets. (My review)
Hopefuly Hearts at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash - Gladys the labrador plays a big part in this book. (My review)
A Christmas Surprise in Pelican Crossing by Maggie Christensen - When Molly the dog gets sick, Rachel takes her to the vet and meets the vet locum, Luke, who just happens to be her first love. (My review)
Muster Dogs: From Pups to Pros by Lisa Millar- I haven't actually read this but it is the book that accompanies the Muster Dog TV series, which I adore!
Me. I forgot Thirty-Six in Lessons in Chemistry. I mean Six-Thirty. Ha!
ReplyDeleteWhoops! lol

One of the characters just got a cat and the name is quite odd to me! lol
DeleteDogs seem to be the most popular animal companions, at least here in the US.
ReplyDeleteSame here in Australia!
DeleteDogs are a very popular animal companion.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely are Cindy!

DeleteAww, your dog is adorable!
ReplyDeleteHe definitely is Lydia!
DeleteMax looks like such a good boy!
ReplyDeleteHe is most of the time!
DeleteNice list. I'm in the minority--I dnf-ed Lessons in Chemisty. Most of the other books are new to me--always a good thing!
ReplyDeleteSix Thirty is on my list as well! Struggled to find others haha
ReplyDeleteYour dog is so cute!! <3
I was lucky. I had read a few books recently where there was a dog!
DeleteAwww, Max looks like a very sweet dog!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
He is a good dog....most of the time!
DeleteMax is perfect. :) Thanks for stopping by our post earlier.
ReplyDeleteHe is a lovely dog!
DeleteI haven't read any of these yet, but I do have a couple on my TBR. Give Max, the goodest boi, all the pets from me.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
He loves the pets! Any attention!
DeleteMax is handsome and clearly one of the goodest bois! I'm a true sucker for dogs, and love the list of animal companions you listed. The only one I've read from your list is The Mirror, and I love the puppers in the story and how they all love to hang out, even if I did forget about the dogs in that book when compiling my list. Give Max a belly rub for me!
ReplyDeleteMax loves a belly rub!
DeleteJust after writing this post, the cat that acts like a dog got added into the story in The Mirror!
