A Dog's Purpose

CriticsCritics: 39
AudienceAudience: 7.5

A dog experiences life after life with different owners, each bringing new joys, challenges, and lessons. Through these changing homes and relationships, the dog searches for a deeper purpose while discovering the lasting bond between people and their pets.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you love emotional, family-friendly dog stories and don’t mind tears; Not for you if contrived sentiment or predictable life lessons quickly wear you down.
