4/5 stars ★★★★☆ for My Three Dogs
Have you ever felt like your pet is looking into your soul or can read your mind? After reading My Three Dogs by W. Bruce Cameron, I will forever wonder what a dog is thinking when I walk by or cuddle one. I am a huge dog lover. I can’t stop thinking about the three dogs in this story. There is Archie, the lovable labradoodle puppy. Then there’s Luna, the sweet Jack Russell. Finally, there’s Riggs, the Australian shepherd and protector of the whole family.
About My Three Dogs:
I don’t want to give away too much about this story. However, I want you to know that spoiler alert: no dogs die in the story. I tell you this because it is always the first question I have when reading a book about dogs. And well, let’s admit it, W. Bruce Cameron has killed my soul a time or two in the past.
My Thoughts On My Three Dogs:
In the book, there are are two human perspectives and three dog perspectives. I have read other “animal perspective” books in the past, and they always seemed a little corny to me. Not this one. The perspective of each dog seemed so real, at least in my mind. Liam, their owner, and his girlfriend, Sabrina, are relatable characters, and I would totally hang out with them.
Of course, I want to punch some of the humans in this story. That’s also true for me in real life. It happens when it comes to humans that don’t love their pets or when animals are mistreated. Warning, though: it will make you want to go out and adopt a pet from a shelter.
Also, can we talk about this cover? Normally, I include photos of how I picture the characters in a book, but this cover can’t be beat. I was going to read this book, no matter what, and yes, it was just based on the cover.
I gave this book four stars, but I would round it up to 4.5 because the Acknowledgments section made me laugh out loud. W. Bruce Cameron definitely has a wonderful sense of humor. His self-deprecation would work well as a comedian on a stage.
