From W. Bruce Cameron, the author of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel A Dog's Purpose, which is now a major motion picture!

Bailey's Story is a heartwarming illustrated novel adapted for young readers from the beloved and New York Times bestselling A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron.

Every dog has work to do. Every dog has a purpose.

When Bailey meets eight-year-old Ethan, he quickly figures out his purpose: to play with the boy, to explore the Farm during summers with the boy, and to tidy the boy's dishes by licking them clean (only when Mom isn't watching). But Bailey soon learns that life isn't always so simple--that sometimes bad things happen--and that there can be no greater purpose than to protect the boy he loves.

Bailey's Story is a moving tale about a dog and his boy for young animal lovers by W. Bruce Cameron, bestselling author of the acclaimed novel A Dog's Purpose. Adorable black-and-white illustrations by Richard Cowdrey bring Bailey and his world to life. A discussion and activity guide at the end of the book will help promote family and classroom discussions about Bailey's Story and the insights it provides about humankind's best friends.

I want to read this!!!

This book is so passionate about dogs. Bailey was so cute. This book was filled with lodes of curiosity, humor, and adventuring! i would read this book a 30th time if i had to. I just straight up love this book.

It's about a dog who grows up having so many different owners, the dog suffers having some owners, but loves others. It's so interesting! Once you start reading it, you can't stop!

I have one word for this book: awesome. Bailey’s Story kept me engaged until the end, and it had everything I look for in a great book. Bailey is a very happy and heartwarming character whose spunky personality is why he’s my favorite character, and I also liked the younger version of Ethan. Overall, I think this is a great book for all readers, and it will have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation.

Bailey's Story is a nice book that is filled with plot twists and unfolds events in a unique way. Bailey gets adopted by a nice family, and gets all the love she wants. But things are not always supposed to go your way, and that is what happened in this story for Bailey's owner, Ethan. They face many adventures including getting lost in the woods, but his loyal dog Bailey shows him the answers when there are questions, and eventually becomes a "bloody hero." This is the story about how a nice companion can do anything for you, and about how unconditional love can change the way you feel. Overall, this is a nice book that I would put in the "go-to book" section.
