Sensitive handling of animal neglect issues

Our animal shelter has given this book to area libraries, and uses it in classroom settings to educate children about animal neglect. The issue is handled in a sensitve way and the story has a happy ending. The illustrations are beautiful.

Buddy Unchained

This is a great picture book to teach children to help animals that can't help themselves. I read it to a group of 3rd graders and they loved the book. The pictures are very detailed and you feel like you are part of the story. The story does have a happy ending and Buddy deserved the second chance he got.

Wonderful Story

As an animal rescuer, I love this book! I am going to read it every time I do a humane education class to younger kids. Its a fairly simple story that may not keep older kids attention. Great for young ones up to maybe age 5 or 6.

buddy unchained

great book for young readers, my grandchildren are ages 10 to 5. They all enjoyed this book. We all were a bit teary eyed for Buddy in his previous life being mistreated, but happy for him at the ending. I think it reminds children to be kind & compassionate with animals. Also, the illustrations are adorable.

An Amazing Book- INCREDIBLE ART!

This book is just amazing. The artwork really captures the spirit of DOG This book would appeal to both adults and children, and would make a fantastic gift for anyone who loves dogs. You will feel a real emotional connection with Buddy. There are some authors and artists who can just reach out from the pages and touch your heart, and here you will find that. I am purchasing multiple copies to donate to libraries, schools, etc
