Editorial Review: Buddy is the best dog a boy could have. He and his master are always together. They play ball, and go for walks, and take good care of each other. Nothing can separate them. They're a team.

As a Teaching and Entertainment Tool, 2007-07-31
This is a great book to share with my 5-year-old granddaughter. It explains service dogs at her level - in a way she understands and learns, as well as enjoys!

My Buddy by Pari Lynn, 2007-03-21
"Buddy is more than my friend, he's my arms and my legs." The characters are the Little Boy and Buddy. The Little Boy has a bad body disease called Muscular Dystrophy and needs Buddy to help him most of the time. I recommend this book for people who like learning what dogs can do. Also I think that this book is for people by the age of 6-10. The theme that I think goes along with this book is Friends can come in all shapes and sizes. I think that this book has good details and good pictures. So if you want to learn who Buddy really is I suggest that you read this book. by Pari Lynn

My Buddy, 2006-07-01
This was a good book to explain to children what a service dog does. The kids I have read the book to all seemed to understand and enjoy it. There is one picture I don't like, though, because the boy looks mad and the dog looks scared. I don't want people to get the idea that you have to be mean to make a dog obey you.

Every dog should have a job!, 2006-06-12
What a lovely story about the joy and independence a dog can bring to a child's life. Every child should now the unconditional love of a "buddy", whether it's their own beloved pet, or a dog that visits them when they need a little extra doggie love.

A helpful book about helper dogs, 2005-09-22
This book demonstrates the complex dynamic of helper dogs and their owners. It is beneficial to readers of all ages. How often have you come into contact with a helper dog and wondered why you couldn't pet them? They are so well-behaved and friendly looking - why not? Well, if you read this book, you will learn why not. Buddy the golden retriever is a hard-working helper, but he is also a good friend to his owner. This would be a great addition to any school library.
