Bella is a mixed-breed dog who was brought up in a crawl space under a house in Colorado along with her mother, her siblings, and a Mother Cat and her kittens. Unfortunately, the house is marked for demolition by an evil developer who captures Bella’s mother, siblings, and many of the kittens and then kills them. Bella ends up being rescued by Lucas, who brings her home to live with himself and his mother.

An animal control officer identifies Bella as a pitbull and goes on a personal crusade to capture her so he can put her down. Lucus finds a temporary foster home where Bella can stay until he finds an apartment outside the city limits that accepts dogs. But through a series of misadventures Bella ends up journeying 400 miles from home. Along the way, she befriends a baby cougar in the woods and then hooks up with a series of people who become her temporary masters, including a homeless Vietnam vet. Despite liking her temporary masters, Bella wants to go home to Lucas, who is 400 miles away, on the other side of the mountains. The question is: can she succeed?

A Dog’s Way Home is a delightful book written from Bella’s point of view, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I’ve never read any of W. Bruce Cameron’s dog books before but will put some on my To Read list.
