A Dog's Promise by W. Bruce Cameron
4.0
3,75 stars
Touching, funny but at times bittersweet, A Dog's Promise combines the usual humor of a dog's perspective on human life with a very human story about how to live.
The third book of W. Bruce Cameron in his "A Dog's Purpose" series, we follow the dog we know as Bailey into a new life where he doesn't remember his old ones.
We are treated to the usual humor of a dog trying to explain and understand human actions, often failing in hilarious results, but at the same time we see very real human characters.
All our human characters are flawed, make mistakes and questionable decisions and their emotions are complicated.
What really impressed me in this is the relationship between the two brothers, Grant and Burke, who seem to both love and hate each other at times and felt much more like real siblings than a lot of other characters in books often do.
Overall the book isn't groundbreaking, but it is definitely enjoyable. If you enjoyed Cameron's earlier works or even something like the Art of Racing in the rain, you'll probably like this one.
