Five Star Gift Ideas

Since your grandson enjoys books about dogs giving advice, you might want to consider getting him a copy of “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein. This is a heartwarming and uplifting novel that features Enzo, a dog who is a devoted friend to his owner, a race car driver named Denny. Enzo shares his insights on life and love with readers, and provides his own unique perspective on what it means to be a loyal companion to humans.

Another book you might consider for your grandson is “Dog Medicine: How My Dog Saved Me From Myself” by Julie Barton. This memoir tells the story of a young woman who struggles with depression, and how her beloved golden retriever, Bunker, helps her find the strength to overcome her challenges. This book is a powerful reminder of the healing power of the human-animal bond, and your grandson may find comfort and inspiration in Julie Barton’s story.

If your grandson enjoys reading advice columns, you might also consider getting him a subscription to a popular advice column like Dear Abby or Ask Amy. This could be a fun and interactive way for your grandson to learn about the world from the perspective of other people, and he might even find some useful advice he can apply to his own life.

Finally, if you want to give your grandson a truly special and personal gift, you could consider commissioning a custom portrait of his dog. There are many talented artists who specialize in creating custom pet portraits, and your grandson would no doubt cherish a beautiful, one-of-a-kind work of art that celebrates the love he has for his furry friend.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
