I own a Yorkie so I do follow Ducky on social media. The story of his antics, loyalty, and undeniable cuteness, reminded me why I love this tiny breed. This is a cozy, comfort read.

I'm a fan of dog stories. I'd never heard of Ducky before this but I enjoyed his journey and the way he helped the various people he spends time with. This is perhaps a bit too long but it reads quickly and you'll find yourself smiling. Thanks to netgalley for the arC. A relaxing read.

I’m afraid this just wasn’t for me. I generally like dog stories but I just couldn’t connect with any of the characters, including Ducky. I found reading the book a bit of a slog.

The story begins with a bunch a high schoolers, a the famous Yorkshire Terrier Duckie. His owner, Christina, tries to find a babysitter for him to stay with since her teacher wouldn’t let her bring Ducky to school. After Layla came to pick him up, Ducky had a wonderful time with her. I liked how this story was told from Ducky’s point of view, and there were some moments that made me smile throughout.

Ducky is a Yorkshire Terrier that is famous on TikTok, along with his Mom, Christine. This is book 2 in the Dog Agency Novels series. Christine asks her friend Layla, who is a second grade teacher, if she would watch Ducky while she had to take care of some business, and Layla agreed. While Layla is at work, she ashed her neighbor, Mr. Rogers, if he would watch Ducky. He has lost his wife and gets lonely, and he said he would.
Ducky takes us on his journey of making a difference in people's lives, making people smile, and when he had to go to school with Layla, and he met a boy named Lucas. Ducky sensed something was going on with Lucas, and he went to him. A lot happens after that encounter, which inspires, people learn, and life changes for so many. It is a story that nourished my soul.
I received an ARC from Kensington Publishing through NetGalley.

Ducky is one pretty special and adorable dog. He brings smiles to everyone he meets and with his calm and friendly nature he saves a lot of people. I love dogs and Ducky is prime example of why. It's because they don't judge you at all and just except you for who you are. Flaws and everything.

An adorable feel good book with a dog! I loved that the point of views were from humans and dog. I really enjoyed this read!

This is a cute story about Ducky & his adventures staying with his mom’s friend. She is a school teacher and has an elderly neighbor who needs company. At first, he helps to keep the neighbor company. Then, he also helps the school and children too.

Ducky is a real life, instagram famous dog. If I were the one writing this book, I probably would have put pictures every 15 pages or so to build on the cuteness that Ducky has in real life. I also would have shortened the story itself quite a bit. It felt a little longwinded at times and, especially in the beginning, had a lot of parts that didn’t seem to relate to Ducky. I would have preferred to have more parts from Ducky’s point of view too instead of the humans.

I think this will be cute for a lot of people especially Ducky’s real life fans. But I do wish it was more exciting or just shortened to highlight the better parts.

Thank you to netgalley for this free advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
