A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron


This was my second audio book, which was very enjoyable. It had you giggling one minute and tearing up the next as it told the story of a dog that essential reincarnated until he had fully served his purpose. It is the dog that tells the story and in his first life he is named Toby. He was rescued by a woman that did not have a license so sadly he is taken away by animal control. In his second life he is a golden retriever from a puppy mill. After he is rescued he is named Bailey and falls in love with his boy, Ethan. Even though he thinks he has served his purpose with Ethan, he is born yet again as a female German shepherd named Ellie. After getting used to the idea of being a girl she is used as a police search and rescue dog. Once again he feels he has done his job, so is very surprised to be reborn again as a black lab named Buddy. It is in this life he finds his true purpose when he is able to connect to the one person he truly loved. By the end of this book I was a blubbering mess, and I would recommend it to any animal lover.
