Have you seen Mr. Camerons movies? They are phenomenal, full of love and filled with warmth. Bruce Cameron is an author, columnist, and humorist who has written A Dog's Purpose, which spent 19 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and followed with A Dog's Journey. Both movies were amazing. I had a chance to interview Mr. Cameron during the release of A Dog’s Purpose.
Q1. Mr. Cameron, do you think that somehow the just-right dog finds us instead of the other way around?
I believe that some dogs are fated to be with some humans. When a puppy breaks from her litter and scampers across the room and into the arms of a single person, she is running to the human she will love her whole life, drawn by the invisible leash of love.
Q2. Mr. Cameron, what is A DOG’S WAY HOME about?
Bella is separated from Lucas for reasons only a human can understand, so she sets out to make things right. Her trek will take her hundreds of miles through dangerous mountain territory, and she will change the lives of many she meets along the way
Q3. Mr. Cameron, what was your inspiration in writing A DOG’S WAY HOME?
My inspiration came from the absolute dedication and devotion that dogs feel toward us, and their instinctive desire to always be with us. The bond between a dog and a person is one of the truest expressions of unconditional love, an amazing gift from God!
Q4. Mr. Cameron, do you have a dog?
My dog Tucker believes he has people, not the other way around. Our job is to provide soft pillows and delicious treats. Whenever I fail to deliver what he considers the proper amount of chicken snacks, he makes a note in my permanent record
Q 5. Mr. Cameron, what kind of research did you do about veterans, especially disabled Veterans, to make your portrayal accurate?
I was allowed to tour VA hospitals, I spoke to veterans, and I have a friend who is a paraplegic with a service dog. We are just beginning to understand how therapeutic an animal can be to those who have served their country and now may need some help.
Q 6. Mr. Cameron, why did you choose to write about a pit bull, a breed that, as your book describes, often provokes a very negative reaction?
I wanted to show the cruel injustice of laws that will put a dog to death just because it looks like it might be a pit bull. I wanted to show the consequence of these laws, and also to demonstrate that love and compassion will conquer this evil.
Q7. Mr. Cameron, do you think that somehow the just-right dog finds us instead of the other way around?
I believe that some dogs are fated to be with some humans. When a puppy breaks from her litter and scampers across the room and into the arms of a single person, she is running to the human she will love her whole life, drawn by the invisible leash of love.

Some friendships transcend lifetimes. In A Dog’s Journey, the sequel to the heartwarming global hit A Dog’s Purpose, beloved dog Bailey finds his new destiny and forms an unbreakable bond that will lead him, and the people he loves, to places they never imagined.
Bailey (voiced again by Josh Gad) is living the good life on the Michigan farm of his “boy,” Ethan (Dennis Quaid) and Ethan’s wife Hannah (Marg Helgenberger). He even has a new playmate: Ethan and Hannah’s baby granddaughter, CJ. The problem is that CJ’s mom, Gloria (Betty Gilpin), decides to take CJ away. As Bailey’s soul prepares to leave this life for a new one, he makes a promise to Ethan to find CJ and protect her at any cost.
Directed by Emmy winner Gail Mancuso (TV’s Modern Family), A Dog’s Journey is produced by Gavin Polone (A Dog’s Purpose), and written by W. Bruce Cameron & Cathryn Michon, and Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky, based on the best-selling novel by Cameron.
