Once again, told through the voice of the insightful, funny and sweet dog at the centre of the story, A Dog's Promise lives up to the rest of the series as a wonderful book about dogs and their humans. Both heartbreaking and heartwarming, these books have been some of my absolute favourites. The way the author gives voice to Bailey and the thought processes Bailey uses, are exactly the way I picture my own dog thinking I still haven't been brave enough to watch any of the movies that have been released, based on the books, yet (especially while owning an ageing dog myself) because I suspect I'll be a sobbing mess AGAIN.

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? Was seized with an inexplicable question, a question of purpose. This didn’t seem like the sort of thing a dog should think about, but I found myself returning to the issue often. Why? Why did I harder a nagging feeling that as a dog there was something I was supposed to do?”

I thought this was a cute book (told from the dog's POV) about one dog's search for purpose in life. Although in this book the dog wan't just one dog he was Toby,Bailey, Ellie, and Buddy. He was born, he lived, he died to be reborn again. In each of his lives he searches for his purpose. 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.

That’s what it was called. When I found out that I was doing the sequel, everyone was like, ‘The dog movie?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, dog movie 2!’ But there’s a lot of pressure because it did so well there. I think it’s because of the culture. The themes in this movie — it talks about forgiveness, family, love — I think those are very powerful things, especially in China. Those are themes that every Chinese person can relate with.” All the Ways the Dog Dies
