When it comes to gifting something meaningful, books can be an excellent option, especially since your dad enjoys reading. In this case, I suggest getting him a book that is centered around dogs or even one that gives advice. My top recommendations for your dad would be:
1. "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein - This novel is told from the perspective of a dog and talks about how our furry friends give us life lessons. It's a perfect pick for your dad since it has a dog and also imparts wisdom.
2. "The Dogist: Photographic Encounters with 1,000 Dogs" by Elias Weiss Friedman - In this book, photographer Friedman captures the beauty and character of dogs in his unique and awe-inspiring photographic style.
3. "Unleashing Your Dog: A Field Guide to Giving Your Canine Companion the Best Life Possible" by Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce - This book offers practical advice for ensuring your dog's well-being and happiness. If your dad takes care of a dog or plans on getting one, this book will provide ample knowledge.
4. "Dad Advice: 50 Fatherly Life Lessons Everyone Needs" by Tim Hayden - No matter how old we become, there always comes a time when we need our dad's advice. This book has 50 pieces of fatherly advice that we all need to hear.
You can club these books and create a perfect gift set for your dad. You can accompany this gift with a customized dog tag or a dog keyring with your dad's name on it.
Another thoughtful gift could be to arrange a dog training session to help your dad and his furry friend bond better. Alternatively, you can christen a star in your father and his dog's name to be a unique and eternal gift.
Gifts that have a personal touch tend to be more cherished; therefore, you can consider creating a scrapbook containing pictures of your dad and his dog enjoying their best moments together. You can add the book to the scrapbook set to complete the gift.
In conclusion, there are many options to choose from, but keeping in mind what your dad likes will make the gift even more special. Regardless of what you choose, the thought and care you put into the gift will make it a treasured keepsake.
