Such a beautiful, heartwarming story. This would be a sweet story to read with your little ones. Everyone loves an adventure even Trooper. I loved the pictures of Trooper at the end.

The illustrations are bright and inviting.

This is a lovely story from a dog's perspective. The illustrations are beautiful and compliment the story so well. We enjoyed the story and it sparked some wonderful conversations for our family. Well done!

Andrea and Trooper live in Montana, but Andrea needs to travel to Los Angeles for heart surgery. This delightful book, based on a true story, tells the story of their travels.

The illustrations are beautiful and the story of their devotion to each other is touching. I'd certainly purchase this book for any dog loving child!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for a copy of this book! Below is my honest review.

Summary of plot:
This book follows the journey of Trooper and his owner Andrea as they move from Montana to Los Angeles (because Andrea needs heart surgery).

Pros about the book:
✔️ Adorable and colorful illustrations
✔️ Love that it's based off of a true story (very heartwarming)
✔️ Very charming dog (as all golden retrievers are)

Cons about the book:
❌ (THIS IS A JOKE) Why does this dog have a better life than me? I want to be pampered in Beverly Hills Hotel *Sobs*

Would I recommend this book? Yes

I thought Trooper at the Beverly Hills Hotel was a very cute story. I love a kid's book about animal companions. My only qualm is that staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel and flying there via Sylvester Stallone's private jet is so not relatable that I don't think this book will do it for the vast majority of kids. I won't be reading it to any of the children that I know but I think it was cute nonetheless.

DOGS. The Beverly Hills Hotel. PINK AND GREEN. What more can we ask for. This one will have you sobbing with sweetness but also wanting to go to the Polo Lounge and sip on a bougie cocktail. Trooper is a wild Montana dog who is forced to travel to LA with his beloved owner who is in need of heart surgery – an operation that will take place in LA. As Trooper makes his way through his first flight, he ends up in LA where he experiences the finer things in life: from a limousine, to a stay at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, and run-ins with all sorts of celebrities. Fun Fact: this one is written about a real life dog named Trooper by Andrew Eastman, the agent for Sylvester Stallone, Barbara Streisand, Billy Crystal, Dustin Hoffman and more. Even better – the story itself is true, and while receiving and recovering from a heart operation at the Beverly hills Hotel, Trooper did indeed have the time of his life in sunny LA. This one is absolutely perfection – and we want to send prayers to Andrew and everyone touched by Trooper, who passed away in January 2022, at thirteen years old. You lived a wonderful life, buddy!

A really lovely story with beautiful illustrations. My little girl and I loved reading this together and we thought Trooper was so sweet.

We will definitely be keeping an eye out for more stories by this author.

This book was not your average children’s book about animals. This was a beautiful, heartfelt ode to Trooper, an exceptional companion to a woman facing a heart surgery. Andrea and Trooper live in a beautiful area of Montana, but must venture to Los Angeles when Andrea needs to have heart surgery. We follow their journey on a private jet and during their stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel while Andrea recuperates.

The beautiful illustrations will keep children turning pages as they adventure with Trooper as he tries new things and uses his senses to explore a new area. Themes of bravery, empathy and friendship make for great conversation starters with little readers.

I enjoyed this book and would like to thank NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and the Susan McCauley for an early copy of this charming read.

Trooper at the Beverly Hills Hotel
by Susan McCauley makes me want to pet a dog. It is such a cute book with adorable cutest dog

This book is simply adorable! Andrea needs to have heart surgery, and she and her dog Trooper move in to the Beverly Hills Hotel while she has surgery and recuperates. The book is about Trooper and his experience living in the hotel, making new friends and enjoying room service. The colors of the pictures are vibrant and beautiful, and the story itself becomes even more touching when you realize it is a true story and see real pictures of Andrea and Trooper.

My daughter loved this story, and I think it is perfect for early elementary school students.
Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this sweet ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book made me cry. It's an unbelievable true story about a dog named Trooper who helped his human get over an illness with the best way he could do. By being just there. This was a very cathartic story, that our fury friends will help us get over all of our problems. Loved it.

I was expecting acute read, instead I got a beautiful heart warming read a bout the love of a dog and how it can help support their human in a scary time. This a great read for kids i would love to read this to my niece. The connection we have with dogs is so special, and this book shows it.

Not me tearing up while reading this book. It was so wholesome and gave me Beverly Hills Chihuahua vibes. I love trooper! Will definitely recommend this one for the library.

The cover is super pretty and eye catching, unfortunately the story itself didn’t keep my four year olds attention. I think it’s a little slow and long for a childrens book( at least for little kids) but for older children they may like it. The art is beautiful.

i thought this was a heartwarming fictional story about a loyal pet but oh how wrong i was.

this prettily illustrated children book is based on real story, with real people and real dog. it even kept their real names in this book. there's a backtory at the end of the story and some photos of Andrea (the owner) and Trooper (the dog). i liked it.

I didn't know this was about a real dog. I teared up a bit and I'm not even a huge animal person. Help.

Gorgeous illustrations. Beautiful story. I got sucked in.

How can you resist this cover? This title will be adored by both children and adults who know what it means to love a dog and be a recipient of that dog's love. This book is based on a true story. It is beautifully illustrated and nicely written.

Trooper lives in Montana but needs to travel to California when his owner needs open heart surgery. Trooper faces his fears in getting on the plane and goes on to charm everyone at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Readers will be charmed as well.

Luckily Trooper's owner gets better and they are able to return to Montana. There is a nice message through Trooper about how friends can be made in more than one place.

The end of the book includes photos of the real Trooper and other information. Adults may be a bit teary as they read this.

Many thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this title. All opinions are my own.

This book was so adorable and sweet. My three year old son loved reading about Trooper and his adventures and asked questions about the illustrations. It was beautifully written and engaging and one we will read over and over!

This beautifully illustrated book is inspired by a true story which sees a woman having to travel to Los Angeles from her home in Montana.
It's a trip she takes her beloved dog Trooper on and the story shows his adventures in a new place.

It was a lovely read and I think a lot of readers are going to enjoy this one.

Oh, my heart! This story of Trooper and his owner Andrea was so heartwarming, especially knowing that it is based off a true story. It really speaks to the idea of how dogs are "Man's Best Friend" and Trooper was by Andrea's side through it all, even when he was scared of the plane! The illustrations of the book are beautiful as well and it's overall a beautiful, heartwarming story.
