Two New York Times and USA Today bestselling novels together at last!
The beloved fifty-two week New York Times bestseller by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog's Purpose is now a major motion picture from Amblin Entertainment in association with Walden Media and distributed by Universal Pictures! This remarkable story of one endearing dog's search for his purpose is directed by Academy Award-nominated director Lasse Hallström and stars Dennis Quaid, Britt Robertson, Josh Gad, K.J. Apa, Juliet Rylance, John Ortiz, Luke Kirby, and Peggy Lipton.
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.
When Buddy is reborn in A Dog's Journey, he realizes that he has a new destiny. He's overjoyed when he is adopted by a vibrant but troubled teenager. When they are suddenly separated, Buddy despairs―who will take care of his girl?
A charming and heartwarming story of hope, love, and unending devotion, A Dog's Journey asks the question: Do we really take care of our pets, or do they take care of us?

From the Perspective of a Dog
Byswickwireon July 13, 2015|Verified Purchase
These stories were written from the perspective of the protagonist in the set, a dog who lived a succession of different lives. The author did an excellent job of characterizing how a dog might think - simple, loving, completely devoted to his "humans". The set was recommended to me by a friend and after I read the series, I have given the books to several of my dog-loving friends who also very much enjoyed both books.

Dog Lovers Find
ByCarolyn Quinnon February 28, 2015|Verified Purchase
What a great author. Life through the eyes of a dog. What sensitivity and creativity to show the dogs mind as he passes through life's difficult mazes and non-verbal communication. Bruce really understands his subject and what love he shares. I cried and laughed, as did my sister (who warned me, when she read it first) and roommate (Who wanted to toss the book after the first death). We all just bonded with the dog sooooo much. We all (three of us) loved this book and are now reading all Bruce Cameron's other books.
This is a lovely find for animal (dog) LOVERS

Sweet reading
ByCoLeeCon September 21, 2016|Verified Purchase
Such a good story and fun to read it from a dog's perspective. Also very, very sad at times due to the number of times this poor soul passes and returns. I wanted to read it before the movie comes out in January 2017, although I may have to wait for the movie to come out on DVD, because I don't like to bawl in a crowded movie theater.

heart warming, funny, insightful stories
ByH. P. Stoneon July 8, 2015|Verified Purchase
Beautiful stories! I highly recommend for any dog lovers. I gave this box set as a gift to a friend, I also bought just the 1st book, A Dog's Purpose, for my brother. The 2nd book is a bit more targeted towards a female audience (IMO) but the 1st book works well for a male or female reader. I loved them both!

Oh to be a dog
BySusan P Spurgeonon September 2, 2016|Verified Purchase
He really did his research but best of all he really looks at the world with a dogs eye and thinking. I couldn't read them in public because I didn't know when the tears would come. I love these books.

Love love love
ByBrenda Wilsonon March 11, 2017|Verified Purchase
I was reading some reviews and teared up again. Life through the eyes of a sweet and gentle spirited dog who only wants to love and be loved. I bawled and sobbed. It was pitiful. When I finished the first I gave my dog a hug and told him he had found his purpose, to be with me. I loved the first and will begin the second soon. Must read for a dog lover.

Laughter and Tears
ByDaisymomon May 12, 2017|Verified Purchase
I admit it. I love dogs and have been the proud parent of many rescue dogs over the years. This selection had me laughing, but also brought me to tears (literally ). It is so beautifully written from a dog's point of view. Love is a powerful thing. Our beagle can sniff out drops in blood sugar levels and alerts ud.

I fell in love with the movie preview and knew that I needed ...
ByJennyon November 14, 2016|Verified Purchase
I fell in love with the movie preview and knew that I needed to read the book. Imagine my happiness when I learned that there was two books instead of just one! While the books may be a bit juvenile for my typical literary selection, they are endearing and relatable. The author kept chapters short (perfect for breaking the read up over several nights) and kept the story line stable even while varying the context and tone of the message. I found both of these books to be a page turner!
