Benji - Off the Leash by Nate Bynum

When he created the canine superstar Benji, Joe Camp demonstrated the heart and soul of a dog. And in his fascinating, emotive, and often funny bestseller The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd, now in its 15th printing, he drew us into the soul of a horse, a book that turned traditional horse thinking on its head while improving the lives of horses and people all over the world. With his latest book Dog Tales, Camp masterfully entices us back into the heart and spirit of dogs. Camp is one of the most successful independent filmmakers of all time, having written, produced, and directed seven theatrical motion pictures (including all of the Benji films) with a total gross of well over $600 million in today's money. Joe has authored three novels based on his own scripts, six children's books, and a Benji training book, in addition to his nine books about horses and his recent God Only Knows.

He's also a dynamic public speaker. Joe believes that if you work hard enough and have faith in yourself and God, anything is possible. Despite all of his successes and media attention, he remains awestruck by his own success. Internally, I'm still a kid sitting in a dark cinema in Little Rock, Arkansas, seeing Disney's Song of the South or reading stories like The Black Stallion, he adds.

It takes a certain sort of happiness to be able to convey that kind of joy to others.
