Book Review: The Doggos

This post is sponsored by Suzi K. Edwards. The review and opinions expressed in this post are based on my personal views.
You think you know what you’re getting—kids, dogs, happy endings. But The Doggos series doesn’t play it safe. These stories crawl under your skin in the best way. Each book begins with a kid staring down something real: Simon faces bullies. Fiona wrestles with selfishness. Stephen battles his temper. Charlotte aches with loneliness. Matt and Zach carry the weight of being orphaned. And Theo? He fears being ordinary.
Then comes the dog—scrappy, abandoned, scarred. The moment they meet, everything shifts.
What I love? Edwards never sugarcoats it. The lessons sting like fresh bruises. The kids stumble. The dogs struggle. But together, they scrape their way toward something stronger—courage, trust, family.
I love the artwork. Bold. Messy. Chaotic. It mirrors the emotions bubbling off the page, grabbing you by the collar and dragging you in.
This isn’t just a dog series. It’s about survival, second chances, and the monsters kids face every day—the kind that don’t vanish when the lights go out. Kids will see themselves here. Parents will feel the gut punch too. Highly recommended for families who want stories that are as real as they are heartwarming.

The Doggos
Written and Illustrated by S.K. Edwards
The Doggos are heartwarming stories about dogs and the kids who love them. Each book focuses on the story of a sad, abandoned dog and an unhappy, out-of-control, or lonely child. The books are inspiring parables that show the special relationships between children and dogs.
Many children suffer from anxiety, loneliness, bullying, or hyperactivity, but when just the right dog comes along into his or her lives, magic happens. Dogs are reservoirs of unconditional love and can make a child feel valued and secure.
S. K. Edwards is an author, artist, mother, grandmother, dog lover, philanthropist, and mentor to foster kids. The Doggos are inspired by her many friends in the animal rescue world. The books, toys, and the Facebook group, Kids Club Doggos, are fun ways for kids all over the world to connect with dogs and each other in friendship and understanding.
Not every child can have a real dog, but each child can have Doggos. Not every child can meet up in real time, but on the Kids Club Doggos Facebook page, we can have dog-loving friends everywhere.
There are fifteen books in the Doggos series, all are illustrated with magical iPad paintings. Each book tells the story of a sad, abandoned dog and a lonely, out-of-control, or bullied child. When just the right dog comes into a child’s life, magic happens. Dogs are reservoirs of unconditional love. The relationships between children and dogs create an unbreakable bond that changes lives forever.
