Equally touching and entertaining, W. Bruce Cameron's A Dog's Purpose examines the love shared by canines and their people from the dog's perspective.
Cameron's puppy hero takes readers on a journey through his life. Be prepared because the journey goes through many lives, and this unique dog lives and dies several times, all while searching for his life's purpose.
Starting as a pup in a stray's litter, he has his first interaction with humans in a dog hoarder's yard. He learns to love people, but Animal Control arrives, and he suffers the tragic fate of dogs deemed "unadoptable."
After being euthanized, he awakens in a new litter, becoming Bailey, the beloved pet of eight-year-old Ethan. This incarnation is where he learns the satisfaction of being a "good dog." He experiences the purest, positive relationship he will have with a human. Bailey adores Ethan, risks his life to protect him, and is confident he has fulfilled his purpose. But then he awakens in a new body, that of a female canine. She discovers there is more to the journey and more to learn.
Exploring the world through canine eyes is clever, touching, and humorous. Bailey hilariously concludes that cats cannot be trusted, and horses are entirely unreliable. This novel poignantly depicts a dog's innate desire to please humans.
This novel will make you reflect fondly on pets from your past. Still, the book's more remarkable achievement may lie in changing the way readers think about their current pets. You'll come away from this experience looking at your pets with a more childlike vision. A Dog's Purpose is a beautiful celebration of our four-footed friends' big hearts and is a gift to animal lovers.
