Bella's Story

Nothing can keep a loyal dog from her boy—not even four hundred miles of dangerous wilderness!

Inspired by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel A Dog’s Way Home by W. Bruce Cameron, this young reader version is now a major motion picture from Sony Pictures. Featuring heartwarming illustrations by Richard Cowdrey, Bella’s Story is a "paws-itively" inspiring adventure about the unbreakable bond between a rescue dog and her human.

A Heartfelt Journey Home
Bella loves her boy, Lucas, who rescued her from an abandoned building. Even though she has to hide from the neighbors and learn "boring" games like No Barks and Go Home, there is nowhere she’d rather be than by Lucas’s side. But when animal control picks up Bella, Lucas is forced to send her to a foster home far away.
Bella waits and waits for Lucas, but as the days go by, she realizes she must take matters into her own paws. Determined to find her way back, she embarks on an epic, four-hundred-mile trek through the Colorado wilderness to finally Go Home to the boy she loves.
