Inspired by his beloved Shih Tzu, Buddy, Richard turned a real-life event into Buddy the Magic Puppy, a story that celebrates hope, kindness, and second chances. His writing blends heartfelt storytelling with real emotion, inviting readers of all ages to see the world through the eyes of unconditional love.

Richard’s work continues to inspire families, pet owners, and young readers to treat every living being with empathy — and to never underestimate the magic of a loyal friend.

Stories That Come Straight
from the Heart.

For Richard Ackermann, writing isn’t about fame — it’s about feeling. Buddy the Magic Puppy began as a simple story about a lost dog and grew into something much deeper — a reflection of loyalty, forgiveness, and love. What started as a family story soon became a message for anyone who’s ever loved and lost, and found their way home again.
