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.

My Three Dogs was such a heartwarming listen. I just love books that involve animals and this one was fabulous.

I absolutely loved listening to this audiobook. W. Bruce Cameron did a wonderful job telling the story he worked so hard to write. His voice was smooth and he kept me entertained from the beginning until the end. This is an emotional book at times but not in a horrible way. Everything was done so beautifully. Liam was a wonderful character that just loved his dogs. Liam and Sabrina start out with Riggs and Luna but then one day he ends up adding Archie to the family. After a tragic event the dogs end up adopted separately but in a true W.Bruce Cameron way he works his magic in them working their way to finding each other. This story will have you laughing, getting a little misty eyed but mostly you'll be smiling at these dogs. I have two dogs myself and I know my dogs aren't smart enough to do what these dogs did but I an picture what other dogs could do. The characters and story are well written and will leave you wanting more from W. Bruce Cameron. I would HIGHLY recommend this book and anything he writes because his books are amazing.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to listen to this ALC for my honest opinion.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the Advanced Listening Copy audiobook.

I have decided to jump in on the bandwagon as other Bruce Cameron readers and listeners and review this book. This is such a cute story hearing about the canine trio’s journey to find their way home. Some things in this story caught my attention while others kind of surprised me. The trio of dogs got new families and homes, but Riggs was determined to get the band back together. When the trio returned, Liam was shredding tears happy that his family was finally back together. No one dies in this story, which is such a plus for it. This is one of those books I’d definitely recommend to dog lovers.

"My Three Dogs" by W. Bruce Cameron is fiction starring three dogs who live with humans Liam and Sabrina. I highly recommend this for dog lovers!

Riggs is an Australian Shepherd Dog and has innate herding skills. He considers himself in charge of the pack. Luna is a playful and intelligent Jack Russell Terrier. Archie is a lovable Labradoodle puppy.

At one point, the dogs get separated, and Riggs decides his goal is to get them all back together with their people.

I found this book charming and interesting and well worth the read. The only thing that might have made it better could be if it was told in first-person from the dogs' points of view instead of all in third-person POV.

A Endearing and Memorable story

Riggs, the pack's leader, is a brilliant Australian Shepherd, Luna is a quick-witted Jack Russell, and Liam’s newest addition is Archie, a fun-loving gangley labradoodle puppy.

REVIEW
Dog lovers will adore this delightful adventure story of three charming dogs who love their humans and are tragically separated. The dogs will stop at nothing to find a way to be back together again. The story creates a range of emotions, from anger to tears to joy and everything in between. The dogs and their breed-related personalities are cleverly developed. I loved reading the story from their furry perspectives. What dog owner hasn’t wondered what is going through their cute little dog’s heads? Now we know!

The writing is wonderfully endearing, and the story is memorable. I listened to the audiobook, which the author smoothly narrated. I highly recommend MY THREE DOGS to all dog lovers.

This book made me sob uncontrollably. I know this author has quite the back log, but this is my first by him, and I absolutely loved it.

I love how the book was quasi told from the dog's point of view, but in a wildly realistic way. It was intriguing and refreshing to me that the dogs couldn't communicate with one another.

It was a tragic love story of resilliance and second chances.

I highly recommend this book, but make sure you are emotionally ready for it.

A fun, quick read perfect for any dog lover! Cameron has a talent for being able to get into a dog's mind, and this is especially evident by the head hopping between three very different breeds of dogs in different stages in their life. I found myself delighted, tense, and on the verge of tears following the adventures of Riggs, Luna (who I was biased towards, considering I have my own loyal lady JRT), and Archie as they aimed to reunite with each other and their owners.

The main downside of this book were the human characters. In conversation, they had a tendency to 'tell' the story in a way that felt very forced, as though they were reminding the reader of what happened and what's going on. It made a lot of the dialogue feel stiff and drawn-on. There was also a sense of making the human characters either stereotypically good or bad dog owners, very few having nuance in what it means to own a dog. Funnily enough, the dogs in this book felt more human than the humans.

All in all, I think this is a great read for any and all dog lovers who want to read a story about the limitless, unrelenting love between dogs and their owners. It will elicit many emotions, and will bring forth the same feelings that one may feel about their own special little pup!

I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK!!
What a beautiful, heartfelt story... told through the eyes (and noses) of three dogs! ❤️❤️❤️

Liam is a simple guy. He works hard. He found a girl to love (Sabrina) and he loves hard. He's a bit of a commitment-phobe, but his heart is in the right place.

So, when he finds a dog that is kind-of being abused, on one of his job sites, he makes an offer to the owner to buy the dog outright from him! He does not want Archie (a labradoodle) to suffer anymore. He thinks this is a good thing...but, his girlfriend...is a bit upset that he did not consult her. After all...she does spend a lot of time with the dogs! (Of note: they already have 2 dogs. Riggs, an Aussie herding dog, who Liam loves and is devoted to! And Luna, a lovable Jack Russell Terrier...who is devoted to Sabrina.) But, they all seem to get along fine in the long run.

When a tragedy occurs, their lives are ripped apart as the dogs are separated and brought to a shelter. 🐾

We then explore the personalities and traits of each of the dogs...and hear, through the author, the thoughts of the dogs. They are described to a T, and I so enjoyed reading about each of them! They were a delight!

But, at the same time, we also read about the experiences each of them had...from trying to be adopted...to trying to escape from homes...to trying to stay alive on the streets...(with other dogs who are NOT so nice, and other humans who are downright nasty and mean spirited!)

That being said this book brought so much JOY into my life with all the happy, sweet things that happened...and it was just wonderful! I was smiling ear to ear.
And then in the next moment, my eyes are brimming with tears and I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest....and we are in the dregs of depression....

But again, this was SO WORTH THE READ!! And one that IMO should NOT be missed!! Absolutely LOVED it!! ❤️⭐️❤️⭐️

5+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨✨✨💫💫💫 for me!!

I really enjoyed this book. I love that the book is read as if the dogs are humans. This just goes to show how no matter what you are or if you are an animal- we do get separation anxiety and the bonds we have run deep. This is a book that I am comfortable re listening to with my grade school aged child. I would have a hard time being separated from my people. The author does a great job of telling a story of what could happen on the streets and some of the situations you may encounter. the way the author nails each of the dogs breeds and putting it to a character is spot on.

W. Bruce Cameron is a master story teller from the dog's perspective. I love how he seems to have such insight into what dogs are thinking and why they act the way they do. My Three Dogs is a heart breaking story of love and loss but, as always the dogs keep you believing in all that is good!
I was able to listen to the audiobook and as always, I enjoy listening to the author reading his own work!

Thank you Net Galley, W. Bruce Cameron and Macmillan Audio for the opportunity to preview this novel. The opinions expressed are my own.

The novel and audiobook are expected to be released Oct. 29, 2024.

I am new to W. Bruce Cameron books and I really enjoyed this story. I am a sucker for a heartwarming story involving dogs. I like that the dogs each had their own stories and adventures, both good and bad, along the way. The author also did a great job of portraying the dogs personalities and some of the traits of their breeds. There was also a story going on with the humans in the book as well. It had dogs, a little bit of a love story & an ending that I enjoyed. Yes, parts of it may have been predictable but that wasn't a bad thing in my eyes! I thought this was a great story!

What a heartwarming novel by W. Bruce Cameron. Being a dog lover myself, this book pulled at my heart strings and made me want to hug my own dogs and never let go. 😭

Although somewhat predictable, I couldn’t stop listening to the audiobook. I wanted so badly to hear how the trio got back together and reunited with their pack.

I loved this through and through. 4.5 ⭐️’s.

*Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the ARC*

For being so short, this book takes awhile, kinda drags
Made me go through my family and make sure they have plans for their pets if something happens
Brad is a terrible person, and even with his shitty past, no excuse to just leave the dogs and straight up lie to the girlfriend

I'm really sad to say I think W. Bruce Cameron has lost his spark. His dogs purpose and dogs way home series are some of my favorite books of all time. They are so sweet and felt so genuine and loving. Now though he's focusing on more human issues. I understand wanting to try new writing new thing but he's. He's writing the same stuff but it has none of the original charm of his other works. I have been really disappointed in his writing lately and this book was just another disappointment.
