I was randomly selected to receive a copy of this book prior to publication--I don't receive any compensation for posting this review.W. Bruce Cameron has done it again! I read this book in one sitting, and laughed and cried. It's told through the eyes of Bella, a pitbull mix that is separated from her owner because of BSL and an overzealous animal control officer. This is her story of the trials and tribulations she endures as she tries to make her way back home to her home, and her human. W. B...
I was fortunate enough to get to read an advance copy of the book. W. Bruce Cameron has once again struck literary gold. The story is about Bella, a pit bull mix who is sent away from her people because of breed discrimination, and her journey though the mountains of Colorado to find them. The story is sad in parts, but uplifting, and very funny as well. I highly recommend this book to dog, and cat lovers alike.
This book rates 6 stars, on this 5 star rating system! I was blessed to chosen by the Publisher to read an advanced copy of this book (I also have it on pre-order). I started the book yesterday afternoon, with the intention of stopping and getting my pies made, but I absolutely could not stop reading until I finished it last night (I have some baking to catch up on this Easter morning). It is a fabulous book! This is the 1st time I've ever sat and 'powered' through a book in one sitting. Another...

I could listen to W. Bruce Cameron from a dog's point of view all day long because it just makes me laugh and makes me love my dog even more. But when it comes with a story that has so many messages and is so bang on with the emotions that go with them, it's impossible to put down! I LOVE this book and it will be another one I share with friends and family because I know they will love it too!
I could not put the book down till I was done reading it, from the first words. Good dog, Bella!I was asked by the publisher, to review this book, because of my non-profit's mission in Arizona to help people in crisis through their pets. As it turns out, Veterans is a large part of the population we serve, as well as homeless and other hard to reach/help populations. We also work to educate and advocate people in Arizona as to how much difference they make when they use their voices with our gov...
I marked this book as "read" because I did, after all, read it while I was writing it. Of all the challenges I've set for myself as an author, writing from a dog's point of view is probably the most difficult. I am often criticized for using simple, plain descriptions, as if a dog would write something like "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." (That's from William Shakespeare. He's more famous than I am.) So okay, A Dog'...
What a charming little book! My rating 4.5! Mr. Cameron, you have just earned yourself a fan! I admire the way you can look at the world through an innocent dog's eyes!February has been and continues to be very hectic for me. What I needed was a comfort read, and this one did not disappoint. In fact, it was a delightful read. If I have the time, you can actually finish the book in one sitting.Let me introduce you to our protagonist, Bella. Good old Bella has a big heart – she always tries to bri...

She lives under a building destined for demolition, surrounded by cats and kittens, with Mother Cat looking over them all, and a young man, Lucas, who brings water and food, despite the fence designed to prevent anyone entering.When a developer with plans for building a new, higher-end building in its place begins to start capturing the kittens, Lucas also realizes t...
W. Bruce Cameron has done it again. I was honored to be chosen to read advanced copy from the publisher (I have also pre-ordered). A Dog's Way Home is amazing. Started reading and didn't put it down until I was done, I just couldn't. This book is so entertaining but also so important with issues involving our military veterans/support dogs and narrow minded laws regarding certain breeds of dogs. I give it a 10 star rating. I promise you WILL NOT be disappointed in this book.
I was given the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy of W. Bruce Cameron's latest book. I am particularly intrigued by his ability to utilize the first-person perspective of the main character, Bella. We follow Bella through her rescue as a young puppy, her introduction to a loving family, her exposure to veterans struggling with the affects of war and the hatred brought on by being labeled 'dangerous' because of BSL. This book is another wonderful adventure that exposes the reader t...
Got an advance peak from NetGalley, OMG I love this book so much! I loved A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Journey and was so sad that there were no more in the series. To be clear, this is a completely different dog soul, a girl, and yet it's an even deeper exploration of the spiritual bond between dogs and their people. It was tense, it was funny, it was heartwarming, at one point I literally cheered out loud. God, I hope they make this one into a movie!
Wow! He did it again! I know, I shouldn't be surprised because I've read 7 of his books in the last year and they have all been amazing, but W. Bruce Cameron's work just keeps getting better and better! I would even argue that this is his best yet. He tells this story from the perspective of Bella, a mixed breed dog unfairly labeled a dangerous pit bull by an unscrupulous animal control officer and 2 of his worthless colleagues.This, along with some ridiculous local breed discriminatory legislat...
I received, at random, an Advance Reader's Copy of this book (the book will be released May 9, 2017). Without spoiling anything, Here is my review:A DOG BOOK FOR CAT LOVERS -Thank GOODNESS someone is bringing up the subject of the horrible prejudice against pitbull type breeds and the sad state of feral animal problems. Yes, there is this Breed Discrimination Legislation(BDL)/ Breed Specific Legislation(BSL) back story that is very important but there is also BELLA's story, told from HER point o...
Lucky me - I was selected by the publisher to receive an advance copy of A Dog's Way Home and I had to read it in one sitting. Not per the publisher's request-but because I couldn't put it down. A Dog's Way Home offers up all the wonderful things we love about our lives with our dogs while also addressing Breed Discrimination Laws that profile dogs based on their appearance. And for the cat lover's out there? This is your book! The kitties get major booking in this story-line.
Because I was an early reader of the masterpiece A Dog's Purpose, the publisher reached out to me to read W. Bruce Cameron's latest, A Dog's Way Home. I am happy to say that not only did this book not disappoint, it may be his greatest book yet. We are once again told the story from the point of view of the dog, but it is NOT a sequel to A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Journey (though can I just say, I wish he would write that book!)I laughed, I sobbed, I fell in love with Bella. This books, to me,
I was selected by the publisher to read an advance copy and this is my honest review. This book is another grand slam by W. Bruce Cameron. The books main character is a rescued “pittie mix” named Bella. Bella was born and discovered under an abandoned home that had become a shelter of shorts for a litter of kittens and puppies. The home was scheduled to be demolished by a local businessman, in order to make way for “progress”. Bella’s rescuer begins to slow progress for the businessman, trying t...
I would have given an honest 4*, but upping this to 5* because of important points that W. Bruce Cameron addresses - a dog's love and devotion to his/her person; the plight of feral cats (ignoring/starving them or just destroying them is not the answer!); the unfairness of breed discrimination (and how it's determined!); the kindness of some humans to animals; and same-sex marriage are what readily come to mind. The book is written in the very simplistic voice of Bella, our dog on the cover of t...
I have read every one of W Bruce Cameron's books, so I was excited to be asked to be an early reader/reviewer. I'm happy to say that this book continues the trend of ever-improving stories and writing that I've come to expect from this author. Each dog, from Bailey up to Bella, has captured my heart and makes me want to adopt every stray dog I see! Bella's story in this book also opened my eyes, mind and heart to how preconceptions about breeds can be so damaging to wonderful dogs. I don't think...
