A Dog's Purpose - You Want to Read This Book AND See This Upcoming Movie

Back in 2011 I was looking for a good book to read when the title "A Dog's Purpose: A Novel for Humans" caught my eye in my local Barnes and Noble Book Store.

If you have been following my blog, you already know that I am a dog person.  I love dogs.  All dogs.  Big dogs. Little dogs. Fat dogs.  Skinny dogs.  All dogs.  But the dogs I love the MOST are always my own dogs.  They are THE BEST dogs in the Universe in my opinion, which is as it should be, but I digress....

So...when I saw the book A Dog's Purpose, I picked it up and took it home.

I had never read any of the author's work before, so I was hopeful I would like the book. I'm always looking for new authors to love. This author's name was W. Bruce Cameron.

That night I decided to just read a chapter or two before going to sleep.  At 3:00 AM I decided that being a zombie at work the next day was a small price to pay for reading just a little more.

I finished the book in record time and then I read it again about a week later.  I've read that book many times now and I love it every single time.  I've given the book to friends who have lost dogs (or just who love dogs) with the command, "Whatever you do, DO NOT STOP reading the book!!" 

You will be tempted to stop reading.  There are times in the book that you will cry out loud.  You will feel like you just can't finish that thought.  It is just too painful.  DO NOT STOP.  Seriously.  This is the BEST book ever.

Yes.  It will make you cry out loud, but it will also make you laugh out loud!

The book follows a dog through many incarnations.  Yup.  The dog is reincarnated over and over.  Each life teaches the dog new things, but the dog's last life in the book is the very best of all.

If you have not yet read it, RUN; do NOT walk; to the nearest library or book store and pick up a copy NOW, OR just click HERE to order your copy online.  You can thank me later.

Now recently, to my great surprise and delight, I discovered that this book has been made into a movie slated to be released January 27, 2017.  To see the cast and crew click HERE.

I CAN NOT WAIT!!!

Here is the trailer for the upcoming movie.  (MAJOR SPOILER ALERT:  Do NOT watch the trailer below before finishing the book unless knowing large parts of the story in advance is okay with you.)
