Lizzie and her younger brother, Charles, are in elementary school. Their family, the Petersons, have a puppy named Buddy plus they foster dogs and help them find homes.

Lizzie and her three friends have a dog walking business they run after school. When one of her friends can't walk Misha, one of her dogs, for a couple days, Lizzie covers for her. While walking Misha, Lizzie comes across Cuddles, a teddy bear puppy who is barking and hyper because she's cooped up on a porch. She convinces the owner to let her walk Cuddles for free and Poppy, Cuddle's young neighbour who is crazy about dogs, tags along.

Though this book is a quick read and directed at elementary-aged children, I found it entertaining. There is a learning experience and a puppy tip at the end. It is written in third person perspective and first person from Cuddle's point of view. It is the fifty-second in the Puppy Place series, which currently has 66 books in the series, and works as a stand alone.

This was also a little disappointing but still a great book. This was actually the book that inspired me to have my dog walking/pet sitting business. I also got a bunch of new puppy places: Scout, Gus, Muttley, Barkley, Edward, Maggie and Max, Snowball, Jake, Waffles, Buddy, Suger,Gummi, and Lollipop, Jack, Fluffy and Freckles, Cocoa, Bitsy, Rocky, Bandit, Louie, Lucky, Trixie, Kodiak, Bingo, Donut, Roxy, Lily, Zig and Zag, Gizmo, Barney, and Moose.

We love Puppy Place books around here, and having one that featured a pup that looks like our girl Bella made this all the more sweet! Cuddles just wants to be cared for, and when Lizzie and her “business mates” come across a dog barking constantly on a porch she decides to reach out to the owner to offer their services. After being ignored, they are finally able to break through and have her agree to it. Ultimately they learn that Cuddles original owner is no longer in the picture and Lizzie’s new mission becomes to find her a home. A sweet story with an even sweeter ending. 4.25 stars
