This is a wonderfully written book from a very intersting point of view. You will laugh and cry through the entire thing.

Very insightful viewpoint of humans from a dog's perspective. Sad at times. If you have a dog it will make you appreciate him/her even more. My Golden is a definite "front seat dog".

I loved this book. What a great job this writer did in "a dogs point of view"...wow! The many lives and jobs this dog lived learned and endured...what a special dog. I look at my dog in a whole new light. The depth also in this book was incredible. Very impressive. It gave a true undertanding of how a dog can know more about their owner then most people. Alot of it rang true to me,(an owner of dogs for as long as I can remember). If you are a dog lover...do not pass up on this book...you will not be let down...it'll make your tail wag!

Absolutely enjoyed this book.

This book felt like it was written for about grade 6 children. Sweet story but not book club material by any means!

Awful, a complete waste of time and money!

Very easy read! We wanted something light after the holidays. This book takes a turn you don't expect and works it nicely.

A Dog's Purpose is written from the point of view of a dog. It is written with humor and insight as to how a dog might see human companionship. While this book is similar to The Art of Racing in the Rain, Bruce Cameron approaches his story from a different angle that keeps the reader wondering who will come next. I now look at my dogs and wonder if I can be the kind of owner they deserve.

A touching and funny story. Any dog lover will appreciate this book.

Very touching, will make you want to hug your doggie!

I read this book in 48 hours. Could not put it down. A good read for anyone who has ever loved and lived with a pet. But, warning, have your tissues ready!

The story of a dog who keeps being reincarnated in order to find his purpose. Some parts were touching and even sad, but seeing the world through a dog's eyes was fascinating. The reader cheered for the dog in all its lives and ached when each life ended. Life with "his boy" and as a rescue dog were especially interesting. Our members had a lively discussion that included stories of special dogs in our lives.

We all loved this book. Great converstion. The view from a dog's perspective was fascinating and really makes you think about your own dogs...

So interesting to see life and relationships from a dog's point of view.
Inspiring to see how the spirit of the dog could build on each of his (her) experiences.
Gives insight into the unconditional love of a dog for it's master.
Yes, I am and always have been a dog owner.
Can't wait for the sequel, 'A Dog's Journey'

Our group found this an easy read, but slow to get into the story. Good discussion on one's purpose following the book. We all agreed that dog owners/lovers enjoyed this book more than others.

I would highly recommend this book and actually have to several people. It's a wonderful story from the perspective of the dog. It's completely changed the way I interact with my animals. This book is definitely in my Top 10 favs!

A Dog's Purpose was a beautiful story of life through a dog's eyes. I like to think that we all have a purpose in life, something we were meant to achieve or bring to the world -- and who is to say that it is any different for animals. It may have taken the dog 4 or more lives to find his purpose but what a heartwarming and learning experience he got along the way. A delightful read that made me smile, cry and laugh.

I simply could not put this book down, and read it to the exclusion of everything else going on. I was sorry when it ended. I wanted it to go on . . .and on . . . I will always remember this book.

Our group found this a light and fun reading. It made us laugh and love our animals even more.

OK, I didn't really care much for this book, however, the book group seemed to LOVE it. It made for good discussion. And the leader of the discussion brought great treats with a dog bone cookie and Mississippi Mud cake. Almost put the book down (no pun intended) after 90 pages, but after reading other reviews decided to go back and finish the book it did get better later in the book and I see from the movie trailer that they also removed a few of the opening stories.
