Here’s a cute gift idea I think you guys will like: a personalized dog story book.

Put Me in the Story is a line of books where you can personalize the message to include your dog’s name, a dedication page and photos.

I made a book featuring each of my dogs, and I’ll walk you through the process. It’s super easy to design your own book. No design skills necessary at all!

Personalized dog books – Put Me in the Story Review

Put Me in the Story is a line of personalized books for babies, toddlers, children and adults. The books are available in hardcover or softcover.

The books are categorized for babies and children by age, and there are also books you can personalize for adults such as wedding books, gifts for Mother’s Day, birthdays, gifts for grandparents, etc.

And then of course there are the personalized books for all ages featuring our dogs!

You personalize the dog book by choosing 1-4 digital photos of your dog to include in the printed book along with your dog’s name and a dedication page. If you don’t finish your work in one sitting, you can save it for later and order when you’re finished.

The “story” is filled with dog pictures with different inspirational quotes and sayings such as “All you need is love and a dog” and “Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” Think of it like a “coffee table book.”

The personalized dog books are designed for older kids and adults. However, younger kids might still enjoy them because of all the cute pictures. Especially if they’re own dog is featured!

The books are a perfect way to welcome a new dog to the family or as a way to honor a senior dog or a dog who has died.

I like the idea of creating a personalized dog book as a gift for a friend or family member. And for you dog walkers and other professionals who work with pets, you might want to think about something like this for your clients.

There are three dog books to choose from and personalize:

Who Rescued Who?

You Had Me at Woof

Live. Love. Bark.

The general idea is pretty similar across the three books with full page images of dogs and thoughtful quotes and sayings. The “Who Rescued Who?” book is meant for honoring adopted dogs where the other two are more fitting for all dogs.

You can page through each book on the website to see which one is most appropriate for your special dog. I like the “Live. Love. Bark.” design the best because you can upload 4 different photos (the other two have just one photo used multiple times).

What’s unique about these personalized books?

I’m sure there are similar services like this but I like that Put Me in the Story is so simple to use. You’re not making an entire photo book of your dog. Instead, you’re just adding your dog on a couple of pages throughout the “story.”

The “Who Rescued Who?” story has a place where you can mention the shelter or rescue where you got your dog and a place to upload a logo.

And beyond dogs, Put Me in The Story has tons of personalized story options for babies, Mother’s Day, weddings, etc. You could really get creative with a gift idea.

I would recommend the personalized dog books for …

The books are a special gift idea for any dog lover, regardless of their dog’s age.

However, I especially recommend these books as a cute way to celebrate a new puppy or new adopted dog in the family. They are also a special way to honor a senior dog or a dog that has recently died.
