A Dog’s Purpose: A Novel for Humans by W. Bruce Cameron. Forge Books; (C) First Edition edition July 6, 2010. ISBN 978-0765326263.
This book is an enduring story of a dog’s journey through several lifetimes with the mission of discovering his Life Purpose. There are many heartwarming dog stories out there on the market but what makes this one quite different is the way the story touches on the Universal quest to answer life’s most basic questions…seems our animal friends perhaps share this quest: Why are we here?
Reborn four different times, Toby, a mutt: Bailey, A Golden Retriever, Ellie, a female Search and Rescue German Shepherd, and Buddy, a Lab – all share the same soul! Memories carry over from his various lifetimes, including difficult times of abuse and abandonment, along with times of great love and connection. All lifetimes build on one another, this soul decides. Not only in abilities to learn, work, and obey but in understanding what is really important, life’s meaning, and yes, what this dog’s purpose is!
A heartwarming, insightful, humorous, story told through a dog’s eye commentary on human relationships. This beautifully told story speaks of the unbreakable bonds between man and man’s best friend. It teaches us that love never dies, our friends are always with us, and that every creature on Earth is born with a purpose.
You will likely shed a few tears as this dog experiences death several times. Still, the insights you will receive will be priceless and you just may find yourself wanting to read this all over again. This book will indeed help you to heal any loss of a pet you may have endured.
I highly recommend this book to all.
