Every Shih Tzu has their own personality — bred to be a companion, regal little face, and follows you room to room — and that is exactly what belongs in a keepsake. This is an adoption-day ("gotcha day") keepsake: a fully personalized storybook where your own Shih Tzu — their name, their face, their quirks — is the hero of every page.

We build the story around what makes them who they are — bred to be a companion, regal little face, and follows you room to room — so it reads like your own Shih Tzu, not a generic character. It's the kind of gift people keep on the shelf for years — a keepsake, not another thing that's forgotten by next week.

How it works

You send a name and a favorite photo. We write and illustrate a storybook starring your pet, then print it as a softcover or hardcover book shipped to your door (it usually arrives in two to three weeks), or send it as an eBook you can read the same day.

Common questions

Can you make a storybook for any Shih Tzu?

Yes — every book is built from your own Shih Tzu's name and photo, so it works for any age, color, or personality.

Is this a good adoption day gift?

It's designed for exactly that: an adoption-day ("gotcha day") keepsake. It's personal, keepsake-quality, and unlike anything else on the shelf.

Do I get a printed book or a digital one?

Both. Choose a printed softcover or hardcover book shipped to your door, or an eBook you can read the same day.
