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.

This was my first audible book and I wasn't disappointed. I found it hard to put down.
Don't be put off by the narrator's voice. Broken neatly into different mini-stories. Would thoroughly recommend.

Thought provoking, tear jerking.

I saw the movie first and was moved to tears several times as were most of the dog loving audience. When I started listening to the book I thought that it would not exceed the emotional experience of the movie. Trust me.. it does.. big time. All dog lovers will appreciate this.

More moving than the movie
