We recently had a little doggie photo shoot at my house where my 11-year-old daughter took pictures of our dog, Cupcake (take a quick guess who named her), with a copy of The Travelers.

This activity prompted us to discuss our favorite books about animals (naturally). In honor of that, my daughter and I came up with a list of our favorite books starring four-footed furry friends.
