4.5 starsThis book pulled on my heartstrings SO MANY times. Everything is told from a dog's POV. It goes through the stages of being a puppy until death several times. It makes you see how wonder dogs really are. Oh my heart

Looking at life like a dog does was amusing, and it seemed very true to a dog's nature. What a wonderful read. One of my a...

It took me a long time to finally get my firstreads copy of A Dog's Purpose, but I'm glad I made the effort to track it down, because it was well worth it. Not something that I would normally pick up either. But this is one of those novels that is so much more than it appears on the surface. Dare...

His purpose was to ensure that Ethan died in lived and died in peace he succeeded in ...
