About the Book
What Does Butters Have?” is a heartwarming children’s book about a lovable golden retriever named Butters who is always picking up and carrying random things around the house such as socks, toys, shoes, and more! With each turn of the page, young readers will wonder, What does Butters have now?
But in the end, they’ll discover that the most important thing Butters has is a heart full of unconditional love, and he always will.
Inspired by the real Butters, this touching story is both a joyful adventure and a heartfelt tribute to a beloved dog who brought endless happiness to everyone around him.
