Wouldn’t you realize… the celebrities aligned, and I ended up in a gaggle with probably the most unbelievable ladies who love canines as a lot as I do!

I keep in mind studying A Canine’s Goal. I learn it in 2010, and I nonetheless have a crystal-clear reminiscence of the studying expertise, it was that profound. The identical factor occurred with Love, Clancy.

Whereas the novel features a vast forged of characters with a variety of personalities, the star is Clancy, an excellent canine, who retains a diary about love, friendship, and his worst enemy (the cat, after all!). There’s simply one thing magical about the way in which Cameron captures canine personalities. Though the premise is magical–a canine holding a diary–it’s in some way extremely plausible.
