Top Retellings of Classic Tales

rae asked W. Bruce Cameron:

I know that there was a timeline sort of thing for A Dog's Purpose, and that in one point it was 1969 ( I think I'm right.) What time is it during each of Bailey's lives?

W. Bruce Cameron Oh boy. So, here's the thing: my editor at the time insisted that we establish a firm timeline. I kept saying, "it's a dog. Dog's don't consult the calendar. They don't care what day, week, month or year it is." My editor said no, make a timeline. So I stuck in little clues about the passage of time. But I didn't make this my main focus. So if, in the end, there are errors, or if it is hard to track, blame my editor! LOL. I'm just focused on what a dog would think.

Are you going to write another book similar to the Dog Master? I have never read a more addicting book!! Also, I am not an avid reader and never have been, could you recommend some books that are similar to that or as addicting? Thanks!!

Hi, I've been reading your books for such a long time and I absolutely LOVE them. (Especially Ellies and Baileys Story) My question is, what/why did you decide to write from a dog's point of view? I just remember reading Ellie's Story and thinking "This so unique" Thanks!

Beka asked W. Bruce Cameron:

Hi, Mr. Cameron, big dog lover, and I love Bella's stories most of all. The dog who portrays her in the movie looks a lot like my Catahoula mix. So it always hits me in the feels. I was wondering if we would ever see A Dog's Courage turned into a movie?
