A Dog's Purpose, by W. Bruce Cameron


A Dog's Purpose written by W. Bruce Cameron starts off with a loving dog that tries to find the meaning of its own existence through the lives of the people it teaches to love and to laugh. As the dog gets reborn as multiple canines over the course of 50 or more years, the lovable dog makes an unbreakable bond with a kindred person named Ethan. The dog stays with Ethan as he grows older and come to different problems.

I liked A Dog's Purpose written by W. Bruce Cameron because of the good story. I also liked it because of the character Ethan. He is kindhearted person and he loves his dog very much. The dog in the book always is there for Ethan when he comes to a problem and he always makes Ethan feel better if he is feeling down. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read bout how a dog can effect a persons life in many different ways.

A dog named Toby has gone through a change in his life. From Toby to Bailey, his name had even gone through a change of his own. Toby is a dog that lived in a pound for some time now that he managed to escape and start a fresh new life. An innocent boy named Ethan found Toby on the streets so he decided to rename the dog, Bailey. The thing about Bailey is he escaped so he can find what is he worth in this world as a pet. Will he be considered helpful to Ethan? Is he more of a pet or a wild animal? To help Bailey, Ethan would take him out to the real world and he can look at the first glances of other people's points of view of life.

I didn't really like the book. The cover looked pretty nice and simple which helped match up with the book's plot. I have a lot of reasons why I didn't like the book than how I would expect it. For example, when you open the book to read it, it is very long. It is too wordy and there are too many chapters that make it even wordier. If you are a person that was to read this novel, I think you could only be able to read the first one or two chapters unless you're an individual who is a bookworm. I would recommend this book to young adults because that's probably when you would understand the story a little more than usual because, for my age, I couldn't understand a lot on what was happening because of the heavy vocabulary there was.
