A Dog’s Journey by W. Bruce Cameron is about the dedication of a dog to its owner. This story follows Clarity June (CJ) from toddler through her 70s when she dies in Hospice and how her dog(s) watched over her. CJ is neglected by her mother after her father died in a plane crash, struggled with anorexia, bad boyfriends, pursued an acting career, was a dog walker, attempted suicide, but found love with her best friend. It’s a cute story actually and although the dog dies several times in the book, he comes back as a different dog but keeps all his old memories and is re-united with CJ over and over again. He’s an “angel dog.” There's even a cat in it named Sneakers!
This is an emotional read. I was angry at the mother right from the beginning of the book but other parts were funny and touching. I loved that the dog was the narrator of the book and enjoyed his perspective on things. I’m glad I read this one and plan to read his first book, A Dog’s Purpose too! I recommend this to any dog lover.

Gerard's review:
A Dog's Journey by W. Bruce Cameron is a must read for animal lovers. It is told very well by a dog. It is funny, sad, and very touching. What it isn't is boring, and that's a good thing! I loved this book from page 1 and it only grew as I read it! The ending left me with tears and a smile! I loved both books I read by this author, the other being A Dog's Purpose.
