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.

In 1995, he started an on-line Internet column, which became successful. He showed his columns to the Rocky Mountain News and in 1998 they began featuring him weekly in their Home Front section. He turned his "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" column into a book, which was published in 2001 and was turned into a hit television show in 2002.

Library Journal Review

Bailey is back! In this third outing, the dog is reincarnated as Cooper, who is adopted by a father to assist his son Burke, who's in a wheelchair. Cooper quickly learns the commands necessary to get his boy up and out of the house and back to school. An operation means the boy doesn't need the chair, but Cooper still helps the family around the farm. Also new in this tale is Lacey, a special female friend for Cooper. As in the previous volumes, Bailey/Cooper and Lacey enter and exit the lives of their human family several times over the course of the book. Burke and his brother grow up and move away from the farm. Two special women also move in and out of their lives, including Ava, who helps run a dog rescue. Through ups and downs, these special dogs help their humans in ways big and small. VERDICT Fans of Cameron's previous dog stories (A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Journey, both made into films) will enjoy the further adventures of these wonderful animals and their people. Newcomers will also be charmed by a farm family's story told from a canine perspective. [See Prepub Alert, 4/15/19.]--Dan Forrest, Western Kentucky Univ. Libs., Bowling Green
