Personalization includes:
Your child’s name and appearance
Your dog’s name, breed, color, and appearance

2) 🧸 Teddy or Plush Toy — Additional Fee

Select this option to replace the dog with your child’s favorite teddy bear, stuffed animal, or plush companion.

The story text and illustrations will be adapted so the companion feels like a natural part of the adventure—not simply placed into the existing dog storyline.

Suitable companions may include:

Teddy bears
Red panda plush toys
Stuffed bunnies
Stuffed elephants
Other favorite plush toy animals

This option uses one of our established alternate-companion storylines.

3) ✨ Custom Story — Additional Fee
Select this option for a new story concept created around your child, their companion, and your requested theme.

A newly developed storyline
Original page text
New illustration concepts
Customized scenes based on your idea
One reasonable revision round

Please contact us before ordering the Custom Story option so we can review your idea and confirm that it can be created within the book format.

A Custom Story is different from standard personalization and requires substantial additional writing, design, and illustration work.
