A Dog Purpose (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

A thoroughly delightful book. The author clearly knows dogs, their thoughts and feelings for people; the bond between them, the sense of accomplishment a working dog has and a dog's understanding of human pain and illness. The fantastic idea that a dog would have several lives (like a cat?) is creative, though hard to believe, yet each life carefully led to the next and a new, but related purpose would be revealed. Each life, teaching skills and understandings that helped him deal with the next life and it's purpose. A grand story teller, Bruce Cameron,is not surprisingly a bestselling author. My daughter MADE me read this, because she had to read it in school, and said that since I'm such a book lover, I had to read it. I'll tell you what, I don't want to read a dog book, because the dog always dies. In this book, because it's told from the point of view of the dog who keeps reincarnating and coming back to life as a dog, I knew going in the dog was going to die, and that made me want to read it even less.But when my kid, who is not a big reader, begs me to read a book, I have to do it. That's just, what dad's do. And I have to say, it's one of the best books I've ever read. That shows you what I know. I wouldn't have bought this in a million years, and it becomes my favorite. Go know.

What do You think about A Dog Purpose (2000)?

I went cover to cover in three hours on a flight from Boston to Minneapolis. This book jumped out at me in the airport because the cute pooch on the cover looked like the oldest of my three black lab mixes. Let me tell you, I cried, I laughed, I felt my heart grow three sizes bigger. Cameron just gets it. Seriously, he just absolutely gets it. If you have loved a dog at any point in your life this all makes perfect sense and each journey is oh so genuine. Our narrator is amazing; the way the dog-like thought process is worked into the narrative still makes it human-friendly and coherent (and captivating!). Favorite book I have read in years, I can't wait to read A Dog's Journey. Well done, sir!
