How to find specific element in list and its' button (Selenium Python)

Question

I am trying to find an specific element with class='name' <h3Brook/h3> then click on the specific button inside of that div. Only care about "Brook" which is under one of the 'puppy_list'

def find_web_element(self, by_locator, element_text):
    web_element=WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located(by_locator))
    if web_element == name:
        return web_element
    else:
        pass

Then I want to find the button inside that element I found (brook) that's under class="rounded_button" type="submit" value="View Details" in that same div class with name Brook.

I'm able to do it by hardcoding the xpath but trying to find it by name:

self.homePage=HomePage(self.driver)
    brook = (By.XPATH, '/html/body/div/div[1]/div[3]/div[2]/div/div[4]/form/div/input') #Hardcoded path for Brook
    self.homePage.click_details(brook)
    self.DetailsPage=DetailsPage(self.homePage.driver)

Where click is just click by_locator

ADDING HTML CODE:

  <div class="puppy_list">
    <div class="list_line_odd">
      <div class="image"><img alt="Brook" class="list_image" src="/assets/Brook-ed6c0be3a8830921c5a954d1bc283354.jpg"></div>

You can find the info on 'Brook' based on the h3 tag

brook = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//h3[(text()= 'Brook')]")

Which will output <h3>Brook</h3>. You can get to the parent div by using xpath /... The parent div is <div class="name"><h3>Brook</h3></div>, so you want to move to the grandparent div by using /.. again.

brook = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//h3[(text()= 'Brook')]/../..")

Then, select your button by

click_button = brook.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@class='rounded_button']")
