About this listen
This is the remarkable story of one endearing dog's search for his purpose over the course of several lives. More than just another charming dog story, A Dog's Purpose touches on the universal quest for an answer to life's most basic question: why are we here?
Surprised to find himself reborn as a rambunctious golden-haired puppy after a tragically short life as a stray mutt, Bailey's search for his new life's meaning leads him into the loving arms of eight-year-old Ethan. During their countless adventures, Bailey joyously discovers how to be a good dog. But this life as a family pet is not the end of Bailey's journey. Reborn as a puppy yet again, Bailey wonders - will he ever find his purpose?
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 and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.
©2017 Macmillan Audio (P)2017 Macmillan AudioIt’s a clever take on the traditional tale of dog/human relationship, and I was saddened when it ended as I could’ve listened to the tale forever. It’s beautifully told with a great narrator.
I often listened to this while walking my own Staffie, Sam, which somehow made the story all the better.
Just beware, if you think it won’t hit you in the feels because it’s that same old Hollywood tale of a dog etc etc.... it’ll get you. It got me as I was driving! I shed a few tears, and then when I arrived at my girlfriends house I was telling her how it caught me off guard and how that section of the book reminded me of a previous dog I had and then I was nearly in tears again!! Stupid book!..... well..... great book actually.
My heart is all the better for listening to this, I think yours will too.
If You’re A Dog Lover It’s A Good Listen

One of the best books I've heard! If you love dogs, this is not to be missed. It's uplifting, emotional, very moving and you'll never look at dogs in quite the same way again!Beautiful, heartwarming tail!

This has just been such a wonderful experience. I was a former dog owner so a lot of it was particularly poignant for me, but even someone who has never had a dog of their own would recognise characteristics of this wonderful little pooch.
The narration is without doubt the best I have ever listened to. How William Dufris catches the exuberating nature of a puppy's responses and reactions, to the pathos of a grown dog who loves and is loved in return is absolutely delightful.
I thoroughly recommend this book - I didn't want it to end.
Spellbinding!
