Bruce Cameron Opens Up About His New Book and His Lifelong Devotion To Dogs"},"content":{"rendered":"

Chances are, if the face of an adorable dog on a book cover or a movie poster has made you smile, W. Bruce Cameron is the man to thank. His best-selling books and three hit movies\u2014including the latest, A Dog\u2019s Journey<\/em>\u2014portray the dog\u2013human bond with humor and poignancy. The prolific author, producer and screenwriter gives new meaning to the term dog lover<\/a>: His marriage, career, life philosophy and technique for getting to know the neighbors all center around a passion for pups.<\/p>\n

When and how did you become a dog lover?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was eight years old, around the age when Burke meets Cooper in A Dog\u2019s Promise<\/em>. My father opened the backyard gate one day and in bounded a Labrador puppy. I don\u2019t remember meeting any dogs before then. We ran toward each other like twins separated at birth. That dog, Cammie, was my favorite creature on the planet from that moment on. She escorted me through my childhood and was at my side for knee skinnings, creek wadings and sled runs. She died when I was in college and just taking the faltering steps toward manhood. Perhaps she felt her job was done.<\/p>\n

How did the story for your first dog book, A Dog\u2019s Purpose<\/em>, come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was driving up the coast of California<\/a> with a woman, Cathryn, who had recently lost her dog. She turned to me and said, \u201cI will never have another dog.\u201d I was just starting to get serious about Cathryn, but the whole no-dog thing was a deal breaker for me. I decided to tell her a story to convince her that if her heart was open to it, her dog would come back to her. She liked the story so much that she married me! And yes, we got another dog.<\/p>\n

How did that story change your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It changed my life in so many ways. Now I\u2019m the \u201cdog book guy,\u201d when before I was the \u201chumor book guy.\u201d Obviously the books and movies have elevated my profile, but even more important, my younger reader series has, according to teachers and parents, given many reluctant readers a reason to love reading. I feel I\u2019m doing good in the world.<\/p>\n

Why do you think people need help coping when a pet dies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because a dog is like a child in so many ways\u2014a child who doesn\u2019t talk back. Dogs love us, depend on us, look to us for guidance<\/a> and help. Losing a pet means losing this devoted creature, and it cuts a real hole in our hearts. The notion that our friends might come back to us\u2014if we only know where to look\u2014has helped many people cope with their loss.<\/p>\n

Tell us about discovering that A Dog\u2019s Purpose<\/em> would become a film. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I had been through the development process with 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter<\/em>, which was a hit show on ABC, so I thought I knew what to expect. Instead, A Dog\u2019s Purpose<\/em> went into a dark room somewhere for more than half a decade. I had given up hope when I heard there was renewed interest. It was one of those long teases with positive news but no action, so by the time it resurfaced as a project I had become so skeptical I didn\u2019t really believe it was happening until we arrived on set.<\/p>\n

How did you learn to be a screenwriter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cathryn had a long career as a TV writer and screenwriter. When I sold 8 Simple Rules<\/em> into development, my deal included a writing assignment for a screenplay based on the book. I had never written a screenplay, so I turned to Cathryn for help, and we still write together to this day.<\/p>\n

In A Dog\u2019s Way Home<\/em>, you and your wife insisted that the dog star be a rescue. Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We and producer Gavin Polone made it an absolute requirement that the star of the movie be a rescue, because we wanted to demonstrate that these dogs can do anything. And it\u2019s undeniable\u2014Shelby, the star of A Dog\u2019s Way Home<\/em><\/a>, was living in a junkyard when animal control picked her up. We flew down to Tennessee to meet her and fell in love. She is sweet, loving, and motivated to work\u2014human actors aren\u2019t always as cooperative! I actually wrote a younger reader novel, Shelby\u2019s Story<\/em>, based on her incredible trek.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve written seven books geared toward children. Why do you feel kids can relate to dog stories?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone of every age can relate to a dog. Some younger reader novels skew in different gender, racial or cultural directions, and there\u2019s certainly nothing wrong with that. But kids also want to read the same novel everyone is reading, and that\u2019s where a dog point of view can help. The stories are approachable, relatable, funny and heartwarming.<\/p>\n

Tell us about the dog you have now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tucker is a cocktail of various DNA samples, like a drink made by a bartender pouring a little from every bottle into the blender. He very much informed the character of Jake, the dog in my Repo Madness<\/em> series. Like Jake, Tucker hates to go for a walk. A dog who doesn\u2019t like to walk! He also doesn\u2019t really love dogs. He adores cats if they run away, otherwise he ignores them to the best of his ability. Mostly he loves people. I\u2019ve learned the names of a lot of the neighbors<\/a> on my block because of Tucker. It\u2019s a pretty good trick.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year the movie adaptation of A Dog\u2019s Journey<\/em> came out. What do you hope audiences took away from it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping people will realize that love is a search and that those who love us the most will always try to track us down. In A Dog\u2019s Journey<\/em>, Bailey has a mission to find his person and to protect her as she makes some bad decisions throughout her life. I believe we will always be reunited with those we love.<\/p>\n

A Dog\u2019s Promise<\/em> was published in October. What can readers expect<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Dog\u2019s Promise<\/em> continues the story of the original dog soul in A Dog\u2019s Purpose<\/em> and A Dog\u2019s Journey<\/em>, but with a very special twist. Bailey is back because his boy, Ethan, needs him to do something extremely important\u2014something only a dog can accomplish. It\u2019s possibly the most intriguing and exciting of any of the books!<\/p>\n
