A tail-wagging three hanky boo-hooer, this delightful fiction debut by newspaper columnist Cameron (8 Simple Rules for Marrying My Daughter) proposes that a dog's purpose might entail being reborn several times. Told in a touching, doggy first-person, this unabashedly sentimental tale introduces Toby, who's rescued by a woman without a license for her rescue operation, so, sadly, Toby ends up euthanized. He's reborn in a puppy mill and after almost dying while left in a hot car, he's saved again by a woman, and he becomes Bailey, a beloved golden retriever, who finds happiness and many adventures. His next intense incarnation is as Ellie, a female German shepherd, a heroic search and rescue dog. But the true purpose of this dog's life doesn't become totally clear until his reincarnation as Buddy, a black Lab. A book for all age groups who admire canine courage, Cameron also successfully captures the essence of a dog's amazing capacity to love and protect. And happily, unlike Marley, this dog stays around for the long haul.

callie_is_cool - One dog, three different lives, and one ultimate purpose to find! I just finished this book and it was so touching and just totally great! An intelligent dog trying to find his purpose in life ends up having 3 lives to fulfill it! Each life is different, including Bailey, the perfect golden retriever pup, to Ellie, a German Shepard, who is part of the K9 unit at the police station! I, for one, got really emotional at several parts in the book! There is adventure, drama, suspense, comedy... practically everything wrapped up with a bow and handed to you in one amazing, heartfelt book. This will change the way you look at dogs forever. I would recommend it to readers 5th grade and up!
