#MMBBR #Review A Dog's Purpose: A Novel for Humans by @wbrucecameron

A Dog’s Purpose―which spent a year on the New York Times Best Seller list―is heading to the big screen! 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.

This book made my heart explode with joy!  I am a HUGE lover of dogs and this book captures's that love over and over and over again.  It captures the ups and downs, highs and low and everything in between when it comes to the love between a dog and their person.  It is written from a dog's perspective and was done so BRILLIANTLY!   I cannot wait to see this book come to life on the big screen, as it may be a new favorite for me.  I cannot wait for my boys to see it too, because it is a book/movie that can be shared as a family.  There is nothing but heart, love and four legged loves in this book.  Be prepared to have lots of emotions and to want to e\snuggle up with every dog you see!  In love with this book!!  Read it, you won't regret it!!
