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 would recommend this book. Overall, I would probably give it 4 stars. It can get confusing at times, but it has such a good ending. This book really makes you change your perspective on dogs. You should definitely check this book out if you get a chance.

Book Review: Bailey is waiting for the delivery guy to get back. he was lying right in the sun panting. then some arms come and grab him. he looks up it is a woman. she brings him home and gives him to her son. they play and have fun together for a long time. bailey fallows him where ever he go's. well as much as he can. then they go to a barn and bailey meets a horse and ducks. they have a lot of fun together then they go back home back to school. then they go again and get left at the house all alone. they have dinner and go to bed. the next morning the boy backs sandwiches and puts a saddle on the horse. they go on a hike/adventure. it starts out good. they have been travailing for a long time then the horse flips the boy of his back and runs away. find out why and what happens when you read the book.
