A Dog's Way Home is a 2017 novel by American author W. Bruce Cameron, inspired by many true stories.

[1] This story starts out with Bella as a puppy living under an old shack with her family in Denver, Colorado.

When Bella becomes separated from Lucas after she was impounded by the animal control due to Denver's pitbull ban, she soon finds herself on a 400-mile journey to reunite with her owner.

Along the way, the dog meets an orphaned mountain lion named Big Kitten, a veteran and some friendly strangers who happen to cross her path.

This novel also taught readers that pitbulls are definitely not "dangerous" dogs, convinced the readers to stand up to the discriminating BSL (Breed Specific Law) and demand that city governments, especially in Denver, repeal this unfair law.
