I forgot about another complaint I have about this author, which is that he never follows the same formula twice. The second book in the series, A Dog’s Journey, had a very different structure than A Dog’s Purpose. And this one, A Dog’s Promise, completely changes conventions again.

What to know

Maybe it's more of a young adult book. Something for the pre-teen daughters. I like my sentences compound and when I can breeze through a novel in less than two hours, so.... Betty Gilpin Joins Dennis Quaid, Josh Gad in 'A Dog's Purpose' Follow-Up (Exclusive)". The Hollywood Reporter. 26 August 2018. Funny. Endearing. Extremely moving. Highly recommendable for the animal lover, and specially more to those inclined for the canine type. This novel really makes you feel partly dog and experience the world through its eyes.

Because we are headed into a season where gift-giving is common, this would be a great way to take care of some of the people on your list. And, of course, take care of yourself—do you want a signed, personalized, first edition of A Dog’s Promise? One day, the men bring more dogs to the Yard.

Si hay algo importantísimo que debo rescatar de este libro es que tiene la capacidad de abrirte un poco los ojos. Al meternos en la cabeza de este perro, podemos conocer sus pensamientos, sus emociones y sus deseos. Sentimos lo que él siente, comprendemos lo que él entiende del mundo y vemos su percepción ante él. Nos damos una idea de cómo muchas veces los humanos no valoramos la infinidad de cosas que estos pequeños amigos tienen para darnos. El amor incondicional que nos entregan, su lealtad de hierro, la comprensión silenciosa que aportan incluso en días en que nos sentimos solos en el mundo, su compañía constante, entre millones de otras muestras sinceras de afecto. Ellos no juzgan, no quieren por interés, no buscan más que un par de caricias y el cuidado que se merecen. Yes, I cried. But not really because of an emotional response. I cried fully conscious that I was being emotionally manipulated. I cried and rolled my eyes simultaneously.

Please note I realize this is not necessarily a “good” book – it’s written from a dog’s point of view so it’s pretty simple and it definitely is designed to make you feel all of the things, but I give zero shits. I love dogs and I hate almost all people so it worked great for me. Reborn in the mid-1980s as a male Corgi, Bailey is adopted by Atlanta college student Maya, who names him Tino. Lonely, he tries to find her happiness. She meets Al, a classmate, after Tino falls for Al's dog, a female Landseer named Roxy. They marry, having three children. Tino is heartbroken when one day Roxy does not return from the vet. As Tino ages and dies, he thanks Maya for giving him one of his best lives.

I don’t want to Imagine that this could really be how it is; Existing to only help humans with their painful situations and then the dog dies (yes, they are horrible deaths) only to be “reincarnated” when they are needed by humans again.

Being a longtime fan of the author’s work, I knew in reading this latest installment of the beloved A Dog’s Purpose series — A Dog’s Promise is the third book — my limbic brain would be traversing a wide breadth of diverse responses along the emotional spectrum.
