"A Dog's Purpose"

Bridget · 03-15-2011, 10:25 AM

I just finished this book; has anyone else read it? I really liked it. It is fiction, but I think really gets into the mind of a dog. Sad, but not heartbreaking if you know what I mean. The dog is a GSD sometimes...I won't explain that so you can find out for yourself.

I've read it. It's a beautiful book. I read it about a month after Cash passed and it really helped me.

I'm always up for a good book. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hmmm I might have to find and read this book. The morning after Amadeus died my mom texted me to see how I was doing and I was feeding the horses trying not to sob. She told me what she had told my 6 year old sister, who had been up most of the night crying. She said "It will be hard, but as as I told Adelaide, "better to have him for a time than not at all." He served his purpose in life very well."

Picked it up last night after the kids went to bed. Was going to read a chapter or two. Next thing I know, its midnight and half the book is finished. So far really great! It might sound cliche, but I couldn't put it down. Thanks for recommending!

'Bailey' is a riot!!

I read it but didn't like it. I thought it was condescending and preachy.
