About this audiobook

A Dog’s Purpose—the #1 New York Times bestseller and major motion picture—is a perfect gift to introduce dog lovers to this wonderful series.

Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog’s Purpose, from director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The 100-Foot Journey), shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love.

The family film told from the dog’s perspective also stars Britt Robertson, KJ Apa, John Ortiz, Peggy Lipton, Juliet Rylance, Luke Kirby, Pooch Hall and Dennis Quaid. A Dog’s Purpose is produced by Gavin Polone (Zombieland, TV’s Gilmore Girls). The film from Amblin Entertainment and Walden Media will be distributed by Universal Pictures. Screenplay by W. Bruce Cameron & Cathryn Michon and Audrey Wells and Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky.

Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A Dog's Purpose is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog's many lives, but also a dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man's best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.

Bailey's story continues in A Dog's Journey, the charming New York Times and USA Today bestselling direct sequel to A Dog's Purpose.

Ratings and reviews

A wonderful book and an amazing introduction to WBC. I have listened to his other audiobooks as well, and they don't reach the exact beauty that is this book. so well written and well read. It's a tear jerker, that's for sure. Heavily recommend this book to any dog lovers out there, even just the dog curious. It really was a pleasure reading it years ago, and now hearing in audiobook. I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. Great job, WBC.

before I can rate the book I bought I need to find it, where is it. I bought several books and movies and they are supposed to be in google playunder books and movies but no luck. give me a clue.

've very arrogant to premise a book on belief that we are better than other mammals and that thèy would actually agree
