About This Event
New York Times best-selling author W. Bruce Cameron ("A Dog's Purpose," "A Dog's Way Home," "A Dog's Journey") for his new book "A Dog's Promise" and his forthcoming young readers series "Lily to the Rescue." Bruce will be signing these collectible first-edition copies. Don't miss out.
W. Bruce Cameron Fall 2019 Tour of Events
A Dog's Promise continues the story of Bailey, the good dog whose journey started in A Dog's Purpose and continued in A Dog's Journey (both major motion pictures). This time, Bailey is joined by Lacey, another very special dog, who helps Bailey fulfill his promise over the course of several lives.
This charming, wise canine soul brings joy, laughter, and comfort as he unites a family fractured by life's inevitable obstacles. The love and loyalty of these two memorable dogs shows us the incredible power of hope, truth, and unending devotion in this moving novel by award-winning author W. Bruce Cameron. Enjoy a special evening with us. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit Furry Friends Rescue Tickets (each includes a signed copy of A Dog's Promise).
