A DOG’S PURPOSE

A Novel for Humans

“I was seized with an inexplicable question, a question of purpose. This didn’t seem like the sort of thing a dog should think about, but I found myself returning to the issue often, usually as I was just dozing off for an irresistible nap. Why? Why was I a puppy again? Why did I harbor a nagging feeling that as a dog, there was something I was supposed to do?”

—Bailey in A Dog’s Purpose

We spend countless hours with our beloved dogs—playing with them, training them, or just hanging out with them—and we probably spend just as many hours wondering what our canine companions are thinking about. Now, New York Times bestselling author of 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter which was turned into the hit ABC series (starring the late John Ritter) and award-winning humor columnist W. Bruce Cameron brings us into the minds of our furry friends with humor and warmth!

In his latest book he turns to fiction for the very first time and offers a dog’s-eye view of the world. A DOG’S PURPOSE: A Novel for Humans is the remarkable story of one endearing dog’s search for his purpose over the course of several lives and explores the universal quest for an answer to life’s most basic question: Why are we here?

Told from the charming perspective of a dog named Bailey, whose name and breed changes with each new life, A DOG’S PURPOSE will touch every person who reads it—whether they have a dog now, haven’t had one since childhood, or even if they’ve never had one at all. Cameron’s clever narrative convincingly conveys what really could be going on in a dog’s mind and his gentle wit will have readers both laughing and crying.

Early readers are raving about A DOG’S PURPOSE!

Dr. Marty Becker, resident veterinarian on Good Morning America and the Dr. Oz Show said, “Finally, a fictional dog who is a real dog! Anyone who has ever loved a dog needs to read this wise, touching, often hilarious book,” and New York Times bestselling author Iris R. Dart called it, “A beautiful, uplifting, tenderly told, frequently funny, and exquisitely moving story…I am awash in the tears of recognition every dog lover will shed when they read this remarkable book.” Even Bruce Cameron’s future mother-in-law, who is not a dog person, wrote to him after reading A DOG’S PURPOSE and told him, “Now I can see why people love these creatures so much.”

Heart-warming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A DOG’S PURPOSE by W. Bruce Cameron is not only an emotional and hilarious telling of one dog's many lives, but also a loyal dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds that hold us all together, man and man's best friend alike.
