Love, Clancy

by W. Bruce Cameron

[Quirky Cat]

Book Summary:

Clancy is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. He's a good boy, but he does have something that will make him stand out from the rest – he's got a diary. Throughout this novel, readers will see Clancy fall in love, find friends and enemies, and experience everything life has to offer.

My Review:

I don't know if it's just me, but every time I see a dog story, my brain starts screaming "puppy!' and won't shut up until I read it. Granted, this has burned me on more than one occasion, as a "sweet dog story" ripped out my heart and handed it to me in pieces.

Thankfully, Love, Clancy isn't one of those stories. This really is a feel-good dog story, one where I can promise the dog lives. Thank goodness! I really enjoyed the diary format for this book; it was different, endearing, and oddly funny. In other words, it's pretty perfect for the story being told.

Clancy's tone of voice is likewise perfect, as I couldn't help but picture a happy yellow lab bouncing around the world. It still makes me smile to think about it.

Highlights:
Very good boy
Dog Diary
The dog lives!
