This book is a classic. A beautiful, uplifting, tenderly told, frequently funny, and exquisitely moving story...I am awash in the tears of recognition every dog lover will shed when they read this remarkable book., This is an exquisite, magical, fantastic book. I devoured it in a, "I-resent-anything-that-prevents-me-from-getting-back-to-the-book-why-do-I-have-to-work-my-kid-is-almost-six-can't-he-drive-himself-to-school?" way. I adored Bailey, the dog narrator, and though I got teary, I absolutely loved this book. You should quickly fetch "A Dog's Purpose," an exemplar of the literary canine canon., "I loved the book and I could not put it down. It really made me think about the purpose of life. At the end, I cried." -- Temple Grandin, New York Times bestselling author of Animals in Translation " Marley and Me combined with Tuesdays with Morrie ." -- Kirkus Reviews "A Dog''s Purpose is the most accurate window into a dog''s mind I have ever encountered. I couldn''t put it down, and once I finished it, I actually felt is if my dog, who had recently passed away, was speaking to me through this book. A triumph, impeccably detailed with intelligence and heart." -- Dina Zaphiris, Host, "Petfinder" Animal Planet " A Dog''s Purpose takes the reader on a special journey, exploring the mysterious and marvelous bond between people and animals. Bruce Cameron spins a tale of tails that wag, lessons that are learned, and special relationships that shine with courage and devotion. A good book to read with your best friend at your side." -- Tony La Russa, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and co founder of the Animal Rescue Foundation "Finally, a fictional dog who is a real dog! Anyone who has ever loved a dog needs to read this wise, touching, often hilarious book. Bailey, the narrator, tells the absolute dog truth about how intuitive your dog is, how profoundly your dog loves you (and how very much they love to roll in road kill, and how puzzled they are that you don''t love it, too). Most importantly, this book allows the reader to intimately experience a genuine dog''s eye view of the bond between dogs and humans, and how nothing, not even death, can ever end that bond." -- Dr. Marty Becker, Resident Veterinarian on Good Morning America and the Dr. Oz Show "This book is a classic.

Bailey the dog knows the profound truths: there is no death, and fear is our greatest enemy. If you are a human, you need to read this treasure of a book." -- Dannion Brinkley, New York Times Best Selling Author, "Saved By the Light" "I finished this book and wanted to read it all over again. A funny, enchanting, and utterly believable story of the multiple lives of a most articulate canine, A Dog''s Purpose convinced me that there must be reincarnation and that author W. Bruce Cameron was once a dog. How else could he so poignantly detail life, love, and loyalty from the four-pawed point of view?" -- Victoria Moran, author of Living a Charmed Life "Usually when I read a book this brilliantly written, I wish I had written it, but in this case I''m just grateful it was written at all. For years I grieved and agonized over the choices I made in caring for my dog at the end of her life, but after hearing from Bailey how deeply our dogs feel what we humans go through, I know my dog loved me till the end, and loves me still, as I love her. This book healed me." -- Cathryn Michon, author of The Grrl Genius Guide to Life "An amazing book. I laughed and smiled and cried. Wise... and sure to open the hearts of all who read it. Bailey has much to teach us about a dog''s love of liberty."--Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Color Purple, "I loved the book and I could not put it down.

    If you love dogs, read this!

    I simply could not put this book down! I finished it in 2 days while also working! The way the dog describes how he sees the world(cats, human interaction, etc) is so funny and true. After you read this book, you will never look at your dog or any other animal the same again!!!! Highly suggested for any animal lover!!!!!

    Vulgar drawings

    Glad I flipped through the book before gifting this to my 10 year old daughter for Christmas. Ended up tearing out the cover page and several others inside the book...not trying to explain to her why Santa gave her a book with very detailed drawings of the male reproductive system... The story is great and the overall condition is fine but this is not acceptable imo.
