A Dog's Purpose

De: W. Bruce Cameron

Narrado por: William Dufris

A Dog's Purpose - the number one New York Times best seller and major motion picture - is a perfect gift to introduce dog lovers to this wonderful series.

Based on the beloved best-selling 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 best-selling direct sequel to A Dog's Purpose.

A Dogs Purpose

Best story I have ever read . I cried so much as I ached for the dog and the owners. I recently lost a dog and my parents and this crying has been cathartic

Beautiful and moving.

After loosing Harvey boy, our family dog and my parents, this book lifted my spirits and helped me to realize Harvey had a great life and was loved by them and all of us. A beautiful story and wonderful perspective on how a dog might see the world. And hope that someday and somehow it will all make sense, coming together for a great ending.

Cried like a baby

Fantastic story, incredibly well performed! Made me feel both the joy and laughter and pain, and I cried more than a few times through the story. Recommended!

Tail Wagging

A fun, emotional and uplifting story to be enjoyed by anyone who has had dogs in their life. The narration keeps you engaged and listening by using different character voices, and tone and inflection during exciting or dramatic parts of the story. If listening in public, you may have to put on those sunglasses since the story will make your eyes water, but also bring big smiles.

SO SAD

This book is just so amazing I love it. I have listened to this three times and each time it gets me at specific parts, and I end up sobbing. Overall, GREAT JOB AUDIBLE YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN.

LOVE THIS BOOK!

This book is so amazing and wonderful. The narrator was very good to. This story is perfect for anyone who loves dogs. 😁❤️

A Novel To Die For

I used this book as a novel study book. This book is a tremendous novel. The book I have that I used quite often to read during school has many tear stains, however many pages also carry laughs and smiles within them as well.

Did my dog write this book???

Would you listen to A Dog's Purpose again? Why?

I could listen to this audible 100 times over again and never get tired of it! It is such a happy-go-lucky book that can make anyone's day better.

What did you like best about this story?

For anyone who has ever owned or loved a dog, this book is like hearing your dog's perspective on life out loud. It made me laugh, cry, and smile! This is a story about a dog, told by a dog, and it makes you feel like it was also written by a dog. My only complaint is that the sad parts are SAD, and running on a treadmill while listening to those parts is not advised when surrounded by people who you don't want to think you're crazy.

Have you listened to any of William Dufris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have never heard any of his performances, but I don't know that there could have been a better voice for the characters in this book. He does an excellent dog voice!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Doodle Dog

For dog lovers

If you're a dog lover, this is the book for you. Sweet and sad and funny. Loved it.

I'm not even a dog owner and I loved it!

Great story and performance. Wish it was true! I'm not sure if it was more about dogs or humans.
