Who says only cats have nine lives?
In this beautiful story ‘A Dog’s Purpose,’ written by W. Bruce Cameron, we learn of one dog’s many lives; some lives are brief, and others end tragically. Each glimpse of a lifetime, however, is heart-warming and provides insight touching on everyday, real-life situations lived by dogs we all know or at least know of.
The story is told from the dog’s perspective. Perhaps that is why it is so emotionally powerful. Although there are several laugh-out-loud moments, be warned, this emotional story is a real tear-jerker.
You will want to put this book down several times while ready the story. ONLY to hug your dogs and hold them close
So far, ‘A Dog’s Purpose’ is my absolute favourite book – of any genre. This book is not ‘a loaner,’ you will want to read this book more than once (and I RARELY read a book a second time).
The Purpose of a dog (no spoilers), is to love and to be loved.
Thank you, Mr. Cameron for writing and sharing this book – such a beautiful gift to the world.
