A Dog's Journey (A Dog's Purpose, Book 2), by W. Bruce CameronBlurb:Buddy is a good dog.After searching for his purpose through several eventful lives, Buddy is sure that he has found and fulfilled it.

He's overjoyed when he is adopted by Clarity, now a vibrant but troubled teenager. When they are suddenly separated, Buddy despairs―who will take care of his girl?My ReviewI love W. Bruce Cameron books. They’re all so charming and heartwarming and made me want to hug my rescue dog! Yes, the writing is simplistic, but since it’s written from the dogs point of view that’s fair enough and I didn’t think it hurt the story at all. Honestly, I didn’t even notice the writing style until I saw it mentioned in another review because I was just so sucked into the story. If possible, I have to say I loved it even more that the first book, A Dog’s Purpose. I feel like I connected more with CJ and the obvious love she had for her dogs more than I did with the human characters in book one, which may be because Bailey belonged to so many different people in that book, whereas in this one Molly, Max and Toby were all connected to CJ. I also loved how the author really understands dog, reading some lines I'd look at my dog, or think about the shelter dogs I volunteer with, and think 'yeah, that must be how they feel, or what they're thinking'. All in all, I loved this book and hope W. Bruce Cameron writes more. This is a must read for all dog lovers!My favourite quotes from 'A Dog's Journey': 'I didn't understand it, why people would come play with me and then not want to take me with them.' 'Sometimes things aren't practice, but you just do them because it's the right thing.' 'We both jump on her and I finally growled at Rocky for acting like he was as important to her as I was.''I didn't trust people who didn't like dogs.' 'You can usually tell that a man is good if he has a dog who loves him.'
