I absolutely love a W. Bruce Cameron book. He is one author that I will seek out every new book. This book kind of reminded me of an old movie that I loved starring two dogs and a cat. If you are a dog lover, this is another must read, but be prepared as with all Cameron books, you may find your eyes leaking a tiny bit. Thank you, @NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest review. Once again, W. Bruce @Cameron, you did not disappoint. Plus, you did a wonderful job narrating the audio version! Thank you and keep them coming.

If you are a dog lover, you can't go wrong with a book by W. Bruce Cameron!

One of the things I liked best about My Three Dogs is that it took some turns that I didn't expect.

The point of view rotates between three dogs and two humans.

Very enjoyable.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group (Forge Books) for approving my request to read the advance read copy of My Three Dogs in exchange for an honest review. Approx 288 pages. Publication date Oct 29, 2024.

I listened to this on audio and it was so well done! I was instantly caught up in the story of these sweet puppies. I’m a huge fan of these books and love how relatable they are. I was caught up in this one and read it in a day. Loved it!

Compelling read! I've had My Three Dogs sitting in my Kindle library for months and just started reading it yesterday. I have no idea why it took me so long to pick it up, but it is totally captivating. The relationships between the people and the relationships between the dogs was fascinating. I loved having the story unfold through the eyes and feelings of the three dogs.

Thank you for this ARC.
I love dog stories. Cameron has a gift for clearly understands dog behavior. He understands all possible breeds of dogs. He probably has a farm of them. Them being rescues are a blessing in its own. Feel free to get lost in this story and let your heart feel.

My Three Dogs gives the reader a heartfelt journey into the power of love, loyalty, and family. Three dogs, Riggs, an Australian Shepherd, Luna, a Jack Russell, and Archie, a six-month-old Labradoodle, find themselves separated from their human, Liam, after a tragic accident. Each dog’s personality fits their dog breed as the reader follows their adventure of finding their way home.

The engaging narrative follows Cameron’s heartwarming and relatable writing style. The reader follows the perspectives of life, adventure, and hardship through the perspective of each dog. Riggs is determined, Luna is quick-witted, and Archie is fun-loving. Each dog shines through its viewpoint, how it sees life, and what is important to them.

This book is a must-read for dog lovers, Cameron fans, and those who want a quick, heartfelt read. I laughed, I cried, and most of all, I hugged my two dogs, Maggie and Bonnie.

Thank you, Tor Publishing Group, for providing me with an advanced DRC book for review via NetGalley. All the opinions expressed in the review are my own.

My Three Dogs did not disappoint. I absolutely enjoyed this story. W. Bruce Cameron's style of writing was easy to follow and while the story had it's lows and highs, it is definitely worth the read for any dog lover out there!
I especially related to the Jack Russell Terrier, as I have one sleeping at my feet as I type this.
Thank you @NetGalley and @TorPublishingGroup for allowing me to read this ARC.

If you are a fan of a Dog's Purpose, you will love this book. It has all of the elements that make this author's books about dogs so good. It evokes so much emotion and it gives such a deep dive into the dog psyche of the characters that you would think that the author was once a dog in a previous life.

As a huge dog lover, some scenes with the dogs are hard to handle. You will feel the emotions both good and bad with the dogs and the people that make up their true family. These are tales that can happen to any dog in the rescue world and sometimes they are hard to hear but they are all very possible and have happened to many dogs that have been through the toughest of times.

However, this is also a beautiful story about things that happen in life that both human and dog go through and with pure determination and indomitable spirit, they come out the other side stronger and find their happy ending. It is inspirational and though you walk some dark winding roads through the story, you come to the end happy with a sense that in the real world you really can make it to the other side. Dogs in rescue go through a lot in many instances but the reality is so many get their happy ending as well. This is one of those times.

I think as a dog owner you also learn a lot about your dog and the hierarchy of the pack from the dog's point of view. There is so much to gain from seeing the world through your dog's eyes and in this story, you get exactly that.

Cameron has a way of capturing what dogs may truly be feeling and conveying those thoughts and feelings in such a beautiful way to the reader. Both joyful and sorrowful, as a reader you truly feel the emotions.

Brought together under one roof, Riggs, Archie and Luna find themselves split after a tragedy. As a reader you follow the journey of them trying to reunite with one another.

A book told mainly in the dogs’ POV? *immediate yes*

From the author of A Dogs Purpose (I’ve only seen the movie so far and WHEW make sure you have tissues).

This book is alllllll about the pack life and how impactful a family is, especially to your pets. I loved the insight into what a dog thinks about human behavior and how the author captured different dog breeds personalities.

I absolutely loved this one and highly recommend you put it on your TBR if you have a soft spot for dogs.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Tor Publishing, and Forge Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

When Liam is in an auto accident and hospitalized, his chances of recovery are slim and his brother, Brad, needs to decide about what to do with the dogs. Brad isn’t able to keep them himself.

The dogs end up at a shelter and are adopted separately. None end up in a happy situation. Riggs runs away and makes it his quest to reunite his pack and get them back home. But how is he going to do that when all three dogs went to separate families?

A heartbreaking, yet heartwarming, story about the quest of Riggs, Luna, and Archie, on their mission to return home, the families and friends they meet along the way, the struggles they encounter individually, their loyalty to each other and to their humans. You might want to have some tissues nearby.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My Three Dogs
Rarely have I read a book that tugs at the heart strings as this latest from W. Bruce Cameron does. I instantly fell in love with Riggs, Luna and Archie and their unique path to becoming a pack. In true Cameron fashion the dogs are the main characters and the people fill in the background. I particularly liked the bond between Brad and Liam, two brothers with only each other in life, and how they navigate being their for each other but also living their own life and finding their own path.
Time spent reading My Three Dogs will be time well spent!
I received a copy through NetGalley to read and review. All opinions stated above are my own and freely given.

My Three Dogs by W. Bruce Cameron

Summary: My Three Dogs is a charming and heartfelt new novel from the #1 bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose, about humankind's best, most loyal friends, and a wonderful adventure of love and finding home.

When a tragic accident separates three dogs from their human, they find themselves up for adoption -- separately. But Riggs, a dedicated, loyal Australian Shepherd, refuses to see his family torn apart. After the exuberant and fun-loving doodle Archie and quick-witted Jack Russell Luna are taken to new homes, Riggs' powerful herding instincts send him on a journey to bring his pack back together again.

Review: 5-Star
I don’t know how I missed the line from #1 bestselling author of A Dog’s Purpose. But it was the rest of the Summary that got me to request reading this book. I didn’t know it was such a wonderful writer until I read the Acknowledgments, so this whole journey took me by surprise. I’ve seen the movie A Dog’s Purpose and just love it. Now I want to read the book as books are always better than movies. The story flows line is flawless as is the editing. Love how each character is developed and how the author captured all the emotions. I don’t give 5- star rating all that much. Everything has to be inline for me to do so along with the book being a page turner one you can’t put down for any reason and that is what this book is. From the first page to the last you can’t stop reading fear of missing something. The story paints a picture so well you can see it in your mind as you’re reading. I now can’t wait to buy other books by this Author so I can read.

Conclusion:
Would I recommend this book to others YES
Would I read other books written by this Author YES

My three dogs is a heart wrenching story. Riggs, Luna, and Archie's lives are about to change and they won't even know why.
I had read the A Dog's Purpose series, so I figured I knew I what I was in for reading this book. I still felt a lot of emotions for the dogs. We as humans have little knowledge about what dogs really think and feel. This story will definitely pull at your heart strings. And it's not just the dogs you end up feeling bad.

Wonderful book!

Dog owners everywhere should be given a copy of this when adopting their dogs! I loved the hierarchy that the 3 dogs fell into easily, Riggs being the older, wiser gentleman, Luna, the female who just wanted to please her favorite human Sabrina, and Archie, the young, boisterous puppy who needed guidance. They all accepted their roles in the household.

When their beloved human Liam doesn't come home, the dogs have to figure things out for themselves until help comes along. But that help results in them being separated, and the remainder of the book is focused on their time apart, and Riggs' dedication to reuniting the pack. Very sad at times, but also heartwarming.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Quite the story! Love how the humans are second fiddle to the dogs , They know humans are important but Dogs can survive If have to alone. Dogs don;t lie! they remain attached to their people! Forever

My three Dogs by W. Bruce Cameron is a charming story told from the perspective of a Jack Russell Terrier, a Labradoodle and an Australian Shepherd. If you love dogs, you’re probably hooked with just that short synopsis!

This is a tale of dogs separated from their own and then from each and how they eventually find their way back to one another. The author has an uncanny ability to humanize each of the breed’s traits. There is Riggs the Australian Shepherd, has a sense that the world needs order and that to be ordered his pack needs to be together. Then there is Luna, a Jack Russell, who has high-energy, intelligence and strategic planning; she is goofy, silly, always willing to go along Archie, the Labradoodle who is desperate for human love.

The story dives into pack dynamics as well as human dynamics. In every word of this novel, the author’s love of dogs is abundantly clear. I was both entertained and moved by the story, as I’m sure any dog lover will be.

I loved this book. Every single second of it. I pretty much assumed I would, but it was even better and more than I’d anticipated. Liam is living his life with the love of his life, his amazing pups and truly enjoys his work of flipping/building homes. Life is pretty darn good all things considered! When an accident happens everything changes in an instant. Liams brother Brad comes to help him out and while he handles some things properly, other things go from bad to worse. His beloved dogs are through gone through a series of desperation, some lies, and some truly bad circumstances. We join the dogs on their journey to finding each other and eventually their way home so everyone can find their happily ever after. There are a lot of emotional highs and lows that very well may require some tissues. An absolutely wonderful book even if you’re not a dog person, but this may just have you heading to your local rescue to bring your own amazing fur pal home.

If you have ever owned a dog or dogs this book is for you. If you just like dogs, this book is for you. Aside from making you really like and understand the "the 3 dogs", you also get to know Liam and Sabrina and Brad. This was an enjoyable read. Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have great memories of watching animal movies with my children while they were growing up. I absolutely loved W. Bruce Cameron's book A Dog's Purpose. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to receive this digital ARC from NetGalley and Forge Books. Unfortunately, this book fell flat for me. I think it had to do with the people rather than the dogs. Liam's redeeming quality was that he loved his dogs and took great care of them. His relationship with Sabrina was nothing to write home about. They lived together but didn't communicate well. Liam made unilateral decisions about their life and expected Sabrina to follow along. Which Sabrina did for quite some time until she packed up and left--without talking about it! Communication, people! The chapters devoted to the dogs were very well written and I fell in love with the dogs--all of them. So, without the people, this would be a 5 star recommendation from me....but, I dropped it to a 3 because, well, I just did not like Sabrina, Liam or Brad. This review is my own opinion.
