Title: The Dogs of Christmas
Author: W. Bruce Cameron
Genre: Christmas, contemporary fiction
Pages: 238
Published: 2013
This is a heartwarming tale of a young man named Josh who suddenly
finds himself with a dog he did not ask for nor want. Despite this, he realizes that the dog needs
him and he takes on the responsibility of caring for her and the “baggage” that
she brought with her. I found myself on
a roller coaster of emotions while reading the book, which is typical of W.
Bruce Cameron’s books.
This book is a very easy, one day read. While the focus of the book is dogs, there is
a bit of family drama, holiday traditions, and a budding romance thrown in to
the story as well. The story emphasizes
the true meaning of family and caring for others. Because of this, I think that the book would
appeal to those who are not currently dog lovers. But just like Josh, a person who never
thought twice about dogs, he fell in
love with dogs in this book, you never know if you might fall in love with a
dog yourself.
