Oh this author sure knows how to write a book, from the heartwarming moments to the hold your breathe moments.

The dogs in this story will attach themselves to your heart and bring you on their journey and by the end of the book you will think they are your dogs and you were apart of the book.

This audiobook was read by the author which made it more endearing

Once again the author, W. Bruce Cameron, has grabbed my heart and squeezed it tight. This was a moving tale of humans and dogs. There were moments that would break your heart as you experience love and loss. The three dogs are different breeds and their “personalities” are described perfectly. The humans will affect you emotionally as well … you’ll love some and despise others. I won’t give any details to prevent spoiling how the story unfolds. But this one that will have you cheering on the dogs and hope that they can be “herded” back together. I loved experiencing their viewpoint as they express their thoughts throughout the pages.

This is definitely a must read for any dog lover. It is story of adventure, love, loss, and anticipation as you journey through the pages of this amazing story.

Thank you NetGalley for the audiobook copy for my honest review. The audiobook was done well and the narrators did a wonderful job. If Bruce Cameron writes it I will read it. Even all his heart wrenching stories.

At first I had a hard time finding the connection between the two main (people) characters. It felt flat. By the end though, I came to enjoy them.

The dogs…they brought joy and heartache in their stories. I think I’m finding it more challenging to read stories about animals these days, especially as I could see the personalities of my own pups in these characters. I’m glad that I kept listening as the ending was worth it.

I am a sucker for any book about a dog. This gives you a view of what happens to dogs who are put in shelters. I was worried it might have a sad ending. A must read for dog lovers.

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.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio as well as the author/narrator for this audiobook ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Title: My Three Dogs
Author: W. Bruce Cameron
Narrator: W. Bruce Cameron
Format: Audiobook
Publisher: MacMillan Audio with Tor Publishing
Publication Date: October 29, 2024

This author has never written a book that I haven’t absolutely loved and that hasn't reduced me to a weeping mess. This latest of his is no exception. This book tells the story of a trio of dogs who become separated from both their beloved owner, and then each other. This book is the harrowing story of their quest to find each other. Cue the weeping!

Every single book this author writes must be enjoyed in the privacy of my own home because of the inevitability of the ridiculous emotional displays. Don’t even get me started on A Dog’s Purpose. One thing I found particularly charming was the way each dog demonstrated the personality consistent with his/her breed. It was fun to hear Riggs the Australian Shepherd lead the pack with his herding instincts and his loyalty. Luna, the Jack Russell, is an active and tenacious presence, endearing the reader with her antics with her toys. Lastly, Archie, the young labradoodle, is an active and sweet addition to the pack. His trusting and silly nature reminds us why dogs are the best.

As heart-breaking as some of the scenes were, the story also showcases how some humans are heroes to animals that need rescuing. I loved the scenes with the good humans. They are out there.

The author himself narrates the audiobook and it adds a lot of expression to the story. He adds the exact right tone to the book. This obviously makes sense. I think I will read the hard copy of this one too, but I highly recommend the audiobook as I would with any book that’s narrated by its author.

All in all, I can’t recommend this book enough! It’s perfect for animal lovers or anyone who loves a good story. Just know going in, you’ll need tissues and plenty of them.

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!

This is a good book about dog owners and their dogs.

The first part of the book drags and is more about people than dogs. The human characters were not easy to like. The author narrated the audiobook. I think I might have liked the audiobook better if it had been performed by another narrator. The audiobook was like having someone read to you and not like having a narrator make the book come to life for you.

The dog characters were much better. They all had personalities that fit their breed. I enjoyed the dogs in the book.

I absolutely love this series. The story telling is always so heartfelt and I am always so connected to each new dog’s perspective.

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

SUMMARY
Liam is the proud but busy owner of three loyal and happy dogs. 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. When Liam is in a car accident, the dogs are put up for adoption. The three pups are devastated to be adopted separately. Rigg’s uses his herding instincts to try heroically to bring his pack back together.

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!!

Thanks so much to #NetGalley and #MacmillanAudio for an ARC of the audiobook which is due to be released next week on ****** 10/29/24 ****** SO, look 👀 for it then!

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.
