A Dog's Promise (A Dog's Purpose, 3)

Product Information

As a dog owner (I have a 10-month-old Goldendoodle named Fritz, short for Fritzgerald, yes the extra 'r' is intentional) and lover, I enjoyed this book and found it somewhat heartwarming. As a book lover I recognize this book as cute but insubstantial and ultimately more cloying than inspirational. It's easy-to-read fluff that fulfilled its purpose as something to listen to on a road trip to Southern Utah and appease my wife. I anticipated how many or perhaps even all of these reactions would be impacting my heart almost simultaneously, like the dizzying crescendo of light and sound in the grand finale of a fireworks show. I knew we as readers would be leaping tall feelings in a single bound, wholeheartedly loving every minute of it, relishing every finely nuanced step of the journey through the familiar yet thrilling world this author so beautifully paints with his words.

And that’s when the thought hit me. What if this wonderful dog was Cammie? What if dogs live over and over again, and always remember us?

Bruce Cameron hizo un trabajo fantástico al escribir esta novela. Por extraño y difícil que parezca, al leer este libro realmente creí que un perro estaba contándome la historia.

Bruce Cameron's series

If you saw A Dog’s Purpose two years ago, then you already have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting into with the movie’s new sequel: the corny dialogue, the contrived plot, the butt-clenching sense of dread …I have to say, as much as I love this author, as much as I love the movies that get made from his books (A Dog's Journey, which is A Dog's Purpose #2 is easily the best of the three movies) I had some trepidation. I thought to myself, will I be tired of hearing the ongoing adventures of Bailey, Bailey, Bailey which I thought had come to a happy ending at the end of book and movie #2 in the A Dog's Purpose series?

I must be a strange sight to behold when I read one of Bruce Cameron’s books — at some inevitable point, I’m sure to be rather ridiculously fanning my face with a stray postcard or travel brochure, making a frantic and futile attempt at preventing mascara from uncontrollably spilling out of my eyes and smearing down my cheeks, thus betraying an otherwise composed and well-polished poker face.

A Dog’s Journey" (Review), Publishers Weekly, http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-7653-3053-6 (accessed May 7, 2012)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. This book was sad at times and happy at times. It also probably helped people to look at dogs, and other pets differently. There has always been a lot of talk about just what animals feel, are owners placing human emotions on them, do they have souls, do they think as we do. In this book, the dog definitely has a soul and has thoughts and emotions. Kit, Borys (September 16, 2016). "Bradley Cooper in Talks to Voice 'A Dog's Purpose' (Exclusive)". The Hollywood Reporter .

Well, it’s all about the purpose of a dog – again, but, this time, Cameron’s canine hero gets a specific request to find his new purpose. To do so, however, he must leave those “golden shores” where he had found an eternal opportunity to romp with all the humans he’s ever loved.

It turns out this is apparently the list of recommended reads I grab onto each year because I had read a bigly portion of the suggested titles (and had less than zero interest in some of the others).
