A Dog's Perfect Christmas by W. Bruce Cameron

 288 pages

"The problems fracturing the Goss family as Christmas approaches are hardly unique, though perhaps they are handling them a little differently than most people might. But then a true emergency arises, one with the potential to not only ruin Christmas, but everything holding the family together.

"Is the arrival of a lost puppy yet another in the string of calamities facing them, or could the little canine be just what they all need?"  --from the publisher

This is the first book I've read by Cameron so I don't know if they are all written in the same format. From the title, I thought the book would be told from a dog's perspective, but the voice bounces back and forth from character to character. There are also frequent (every few pages) time lapses in the story. These two things make the tale very disjointed. That said, I did enjoy the characters. They were portrayed pretty realistically, imho. I give it three out of five stars.
