A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

Gosh, where do I begin with this review? I actually finished this a couple of days ago and have been struggling to figure out how I feel about it. My emotions ran the gamut. A Dog’s Purpose tells the story of a dog’s life in first person from the dog’s perspective.  I found parts of  it delightful but thought there were parts that might be too intense or upsetting for children with a family dog. Quite cute are the things dogs do that get them in trouble with their owner and that they don’t quite get what the problem is. But I felt the novel was very heavy-handed with the tear-jerker aspects of the story (over and over again).

The majority who read or listen to this will absolutely love it and but I also understand why some will most likely hate it. I  enjoyed it but unlike so many other dog books I’ve read, this was not one of those I didn’t want to end. I was ready.
