W. Bruce Cameron’s A Dog’s Purpose is a New York Times best seller. The novel is about a dog named Baily that finds himself reincarnated over the years as various types of dogs in a search for his reason for being. Cameron believes the book has struck a chord with readers because it strives to tell the story of what it is like to be a dog and how dogs relate to humans. Baily is not a “magic” dog with the thought process of a human, but instead he is a real dog with limited understanding of human speech and he must learn how to deal with people through physical interaction.
