SynopsisA Dog's Purpose --the #1 New York Times bestseller and major motion picture --is a perfect gift to introduce dog lovers to this wonderful series. Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog's Purpose , from director Lasse Hallström ( The Cider House Rules , Dear John , The 100-Foot Journey ), shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. The family film told from the dog's perspective also stars Britt Robertson, KJ Apa, John Ortiz, Peggy Lipton, Juliet Rylance, Luke Kirby, Pooch Hall and Dennis Quaid. A Dog's Purpose is produced by Gavin Polone ( Zombieland , TV's Gilmore Girls ). The film from Amblin Entertainment and Walden Media will be distributed by Universal Pictures. Screenplay by W. Bruce Cameron & Cathryn Michon and Audrey Wells and Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky. 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, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose. Bailey's story continues in A Dog's Journey , the charming New York Times and USA Today bestselling direct sequel to A Dog's Purpose .

  • a dog's purpose

    We like to think we might know how a dog thinks. This book makes a wonderful and entertaining attempt to bridge that thought "divide". I'd recommend it to anyone who loves dogs, and especially to anyone who doesn't.

  • Most wonderful book on dogs which I have seen. Great energy and content.

    This book puts into words what I have thought about my dog's thinking about their owner and other people. They must be reviewing what happens to them and how they feel about being treated the way they are living, and see how other dogs around them are treated. It says what I have imagined my dog's thinking is about.

  • Thanks

    The book is used and the cover and back had grease on it. Had to use a damp cloth to clean it up. Otherwise it was in okay condition for 3.50.
