As we know by now, I’m a crier so I expected to lose my cool while reading this book. What I didn’t expect was the AMOUNT of times I would cry while reading…it was insane. This was such a sweet book, it had me cuddling my dogs for so long while reading 🥹🤍

The first two dog’s purpose books were better in my opinion. 
In fact I highly recommend them if you haven’t read them already. 

People from tech backgrounds might find some of the tech related points of the books annoying or unrealistic.

I was lucky enough to win this copy in a GoodReads giveaway! The third book in the Dog’s Purpose series continues to follow Bailey (though he’s obviously taken on a new form). If you are not familiar with the premise of this series, it has a dog as a narrator who keeps reincarnating as other dogs every time he dies. Throughout his many lives, he tries to figure out his purpose in life. He keeps getting sent back and somehow finding different members of the same family at different points in their lives. They each need him in different ways and at different times, so his purpose is to help them through the rough patches life throws at people. The humans, of course, don’t realize who he is because he’s in a new body. This book is no different. I will say I didn’t enjoy it near as much as I did the first two, but there were still plenty of moments that made me smile and ones that made me tear up. W. Bruce Cameron continues to do an amazing job of writing from a dog’s perspective, to the point where you really feel like a dog could’ve written the book. I always feel like I look at my own dogs differently when I finish one of his books, wondering just how true this reincarnation idea could be. I will say that it seems like he set this one’s ending up for a fourth book, which I’d be 110% down to read. If you love dogs, do yourself a favor and read this series. Just have some tissues nearby.

I enjoy seeing what purpose "Bailey" finds next. It is fun that the story still follows the same family. This time, there are two brothers involved. The only part I didn't like was the brothers liking and dating the same girls. I got over it, but it is an odd concept to me. Animal lovers will still appreciate the puppers antics and I say worth a read.

Not quite as compelling as the first two books, but still worth reading.

4.5

4.5 stars. It’s been a long time since I’ve read the first two books in this trilogy, so I can't remember them enough to have a good comparison, but I really enjoyed this book. It was funny at times, sad at times, but mostly just a sweet and heartwarming story about a dog.
