From the publisher

New York Times bestselling author W. Bruce Cameron presents the totally irresistible tale of a little stray puppy rescued from a life on the streets to become the star of A Dog’s Way Home, the basis for the major motion picture! Shelby doesn’t remember much of her early life–only that she was always hungry and cold. Then one day, Shelby is rescued by a kind woman, and things change forever. She soon finds herself on a movie set, and her new life is filled with challenges and rewards. She learns things like to Go Mark, Cut, and Dig. Her rewards include squeaky toys, yummy chicken, and best of all, love and affection from castmates and crew. Everyone loves Shelby! And so will young readers and movie fans. Shelby’s Story includes charming illustrations by Richard Cowdrey as well as a reading and activity guide at the end of the book.
