This is the absolute perfect read for anyone who loves dogs. I think this is my favorite book of the year, it is fun and quirky and will make the perfect Christmas gift for any dog moms.

Very cute, bright, and colorful illustrations. As a crazy dog mom myself I loved this book and related to almost everything in it. There were some pages that seemed more like it should be made into a poster rather than in a book, but I still loved it. It's a very short and sweet read that would be a funny gift to give to any dog mom you know.

I am the proud momma of a sweet little rescue pup - I knew I was going to love this book but it exceeded my expectations! It's a quick little book full of the loveliest drawings (they should be sold as prints, cards and calendars)! I can;t wait to gift this to several of my friends!

Thank you, Workman Publishing Company and NetGalley, for a digital ARC!

Isabel Serna’s Dog Mom: A Love Story is a fun and adorable picture book celebrating woman’s relationship with the four-legged furry love of her life. I love the cute full-colour illustrations and the funny anecdotes.

This is a fully illustrated collection of charming anecdotes exploring daily life as a dog mom. The book also features fun trivia. Did you know that people in Ancient China kept warm by putting dogs up their sleeves? Also, no two dogs’ noseprints are the same! There are also cute depictions of the different types of dog moms, certain situations before and after becoming a dog mom as well as instances of ‘you know you’re a crazy dog mom when’, and famous dog stars.

This is such a cute, heartwarming, and relatable book! Serna wonderfully captures the special relationship between a woman and her beloved pup. The art style is soft and adorable. I absolutely love the cheerfully bright and colourful full-page illustrations. I adore all the lovely little details in the pictures. There are a variety of different dog breeds whose sweet faces are crafted with distinct personalities. Other things like the depictions of the different items in dog moms’ pantry shelves as well as the doggie decals on the dog moms’ clothes are nice touches which really brings the art to life.

I also love the diversity of the dog moms. There is a range of skin-tones: light and dark-skinned dog moms as well as hijab-wearing moms. There are also several different hair types, body types, and even some dog moms sporting tattoos.

But, I’m not the biggest fan of some of the typography. Although the lettering is cute and suits the fun nature of the book, it is sometimes a little difficult to read. I really wish it was clearer.

Dog Mom: A Love Story is an adorable and sweet book with lovely illustrations. This book will definitely put a big smile on your face. I am excited to check out more of Serna’s work!

This was the cutest book ever! Of course I'm a dog mom, and dogs are the cutest creatures on earth, it was impossible not love the phrases and drawings created in this book. Isabel Serna's drawing style is really cool. I absolutely loved every single page. I think this book is a cute and fun gift to give to someone that considers herself a dog mom! I will definetely buy a copy for myself.

I requested and received this book from Isabel Serna and Workman Publishing Company through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a cute book with bright colourful illustrations. If you have ever owned a dog this book probably rings true. You would do anything for your fur baby. This would make a fun gift for any dog mom as they will be able to relate to the images.

Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. Not going to lie it would have been next to impossible for me not to love a book about being a dog mom! As a lifelong dog mom myself I couldn't wait to read this book. It was everything I hoped it would be. A very endearing and cute reminder of what life is like as a dog mom with adorable and totally relatable drawings depicting dog mom life. A delightful read especially in our current times when some of us are spending even more time at home with our fur babies than ever before. I would recommend this book for anyone not just dog people, anyone who knows the bond between humans and those we choose to share our lives with and also even for those people who 'just don't get dog people'! #dogmomalovestory #isabelserna #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookstagram #goodreads #amazon#kindle #bookqueen #litsy #greatreads

Confession: Dog Mom here! This cute little illustrated book just my heart smile, as I finished it in one sitting with my dogs beside me. The illustrations were bright, colorful and gorgeous. The book is full of fun facts and quotes too. Dog Mom will make the perfect gift for new dog moms or dog moms that have had dogs forever. I have a few friends in mind that I will be gifting this to.

Thank you to NetGalley and Workman Publishing for a chance to review this book.

As a Dog Mom to two senior dogs, I loved every second of this book. The illustrations were adorable. The short book was filled with accurate quotes describing life as a dog mom. It left me smiling the entire time.

This short book would be the perfect gift for a dog mom in your life.

I received a copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

This book was very cute and enjoyable. Being an ebook it was not formatted correctly so it was hard to follow. I enjoyed the pictures and the quotes and I am sure as a print book it would be adorable.

Thank you so much to net galley for sending me a copy of this book for review! I loved this little book so much! It’s the perfect gift for the dog moms in your life! I would definitely buy this and read it again.

A cute book for a dog lover. With some quotes to be related and the Illustrations are beautiful. I took the kindle option but I think the paper one will be very vibrant in colors and more fun.
I would like a version with most people in it. Since I’m a dog mom also, there are other people around me, and sharing the love for my dog.
I felt very related with the illustrations, and I think maybe would be a great gift for a single dog mom.

The illustrations in these books made me smile. I wish there had been a bit more space in the illustrations for women with partners, children, etc. It was ver focused on single women with love for their dog. A great present for someone who has an EXTRA special place in their heart for their dog.

Dog Mom
A Love Story
by Isabel Serna
This is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary.
This book is too cute! 😁 It is perfect for all the people in your life that love their dogs more than people! Those that pamper their pooches, dress them up, buy them furniture, and cater to their every need. I smiled most of the way through this book! I saw myself and many others in here! This is the perfect Mother's Day gift, Christmas Gift, Birthday Gift, or anytime gift! It is delightful! The art is bright and cheery and just lifts the spirits! Great job!

Cute, but hard to read on an e-reader. The pictures don't make much sense and some of the formatting is so light that it's hard to see what's happening.
