A little adventure. A very familiar dog.

The story behind LookiBooki

It started with a dog named Mayzie

And the wish to keep her joy close.

Inspired by the dogs we love

A note from Mike

Some dogs become part of who we are

Mayzie wasn’t just my dog. She was my best friend. She was beside me through one of the hardest periods of my life, when unexpected health challenges slowed everything down. Her quiet companionship became a constant source of comfort and joy.

After she passed, I wanted something that kept her spirit alive in a way that felt joyful. I kept wishing for something that captured her personality, warm and full of life, rather than leaving her frozen in a photograph.

That’s where LookiBooki began. What if your real dog could live inside a story? Not just their name, but their familiar likeness hidden in playful scenes you could return to again and again.

I built the first version to share Mayzie with my nieces, nephews and family who loved her too. Now that same idea has become a way to celebrate the dogs we remember and the ones still curled up beside us.

Because this isn’t only for the dogs we’ve lost. It’s for the joy they give us while they’re here, and the memories that stay long after.

They may only get to fill a few chapters of your life, but they deserve a whole book.

What makes a LookiBooki different

More than a name swap

The dog you know becomes part of the story itself.

Built around your actual dog

Their portrait is created from three photos, with the markings, coloring and little details that make them recognizable.

Made to search and find

Their familiar likeness is woven into playful scenes designed to be explored again and again.

A real hardcover keepsake

Professionally printed and bound, with your approved portrait and your dog's name making the finished book their own.

Made for the moments that matter

A book with a place in the family

Some books are read once. LookiBooki is made for the stories, gifts and memories you want to keep.

A childhood keepsake

A personal story-time book starring the dog who is already part of their childhood.

A memorial gift

Existing photos can become a joyful keepsake for a much-loved dog who is no longer with you.

A family keepsake

A physical reminder of the dog in the family photos, at the door, on the couch and at the center of everyday life.

A familiar face. A new adventure.

Give your dog a story of their own

Three photos are the beginning. A portrait you choose makes it personal. And the best part? Finding them together.

Your photos. Your chosen portrait. Your personalized book.
