A Dog's Purpose is realistic fiction because the events that take place could happen in real life. It's about a dog who goes through a series of reincarnations throughout his or her life. Each reincarnation gives him a new purpose in life. A stray named Toby, a search-and-rescue dog named Ellie, or just a companion to his or her owner. His life as Toby the stray was very short and didn't mean very much. When he reincarnated into a golden retriever, he knew there was more to his story. As a golden retriever, he was adopted by a boy named Ethan who gave the dog the name of Bailey. Bailey was Ethan's best friend and they did everything together. Bailey realized that his purpose was to be Ethan's friend. After Bailey passed away, he reincarnated into a german shepherd named Ellie. Ellie had a very special purpose as a search-and-rescue dog, she had to save people from danger. Ellie saved many lives and was considered a hero dog. Although Ellie had a different purpose, she was always looking to find Ethan. After Ellie died, she reincarnated again into another dog. This new dog didn’t have an owner who took care of him, so he ran away. This is when he knew he had to find Ethan. But they question is will he find Ethan again? If he does will Ethan take him back? You’ll have to read to find out!
I really enjoyed this book A Dog's Purpose all the way to the end. It's heartwarming and a little sad at times. W. Bruce Cameron put the book in a perspective where the dog tells it all and the creativity that goes into it is incredible. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and you'll be sad when it's over. I'd especially recommend this book to dog lovers because after reading this book you'll never look at your dog the same again. This book is in my top five books of all time, and that says a lot because I'm very picky about books. To make this book even better, there's a sequel called A Dog's Journey that continues the purpose of a dog's life. Dogs are really more than companions, there life revolves around us and this book just goes into a deeper understanding on that.
