A Dog's Purpose--the #1 New York Times bestseller and major motion picture--is a perfect gift to introduce dog lovers to this wonderful series.
Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog's Purpose, from director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The 100-Foot Journey), shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love.
The family film told from the dog's perspective also stars Britt Robertson, KJ Apa, John Ortiz, Peggy Lipton, Juliet Rylance, Luke Kirby, Pooch Hall and Dennis Quaid. A Dog's Purpose is produced by Gavin Polone (Zombieland, TV's Gilmore Girls). The film from Amblin Entertainment and Walden Media will be distributed by Universal Pictures. Screenplay by W. Bruce Cameron & Cathryn Michon and Audrey Wells and Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky.
Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A Dog's Purpose is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog's many lives, but also a dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man's best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.
Bailey's story continues in A Dog's Journey, the charming New York Times and USA Today bestselling direct sequel to A Dog's Purpose.

Beautiful story. Enjoyable read.
This story was beautifully written. It showed the deep love we can have for our pets and the deep love and loyalty they can have for us. They are family.
touching story, brought me to tears
I was recommended this book by a terrible previous boss I had at work, and I bought the hardcover copy, genuinely tried to get into the book, but the whole "written from the dog's perspective" is just too sappy, overdone, and childish.I can imagine what dogs are thinking without the help of a book. I already knew what a dog's implied purpose was too (and most people do as well).This book is quite overrated. I wish I could've returned to get my money back, but I generally don't return lower-than-50-usd items unless there's a real major issue.I just did not 'vibe' with this book's theme and especially the writing style.If you talk to (and ESPECIALLY FOR) your dog in baby-talk with a high-pitched voice, then you'll probably like this book.Two out of 5 stars, because the physical quality of the hard-cover copy was acceptable.
Good quality.
