The Purpose We Share

I came across A Dog's Purpose while browsing the Kindle store, and found the synopsis to be quite intriguing. I had no idea what I should expect, just wanted a good enjoyment read. What ended up in my hands was a powerfully, emotionally charged story that made me want to read it the minute I closed the last page.

We are introduced to a dog's perspective on the world. Seems like a strange concept, but the plot thickens. Beautiful language flows right off every page, giving the reader the feeling of being there with the dog. As time wanes on, the dog realizes that his/her purpose has been served and is ready to pass on....that is, until he is reborn again! The story is very emotionally driven, and we feel the dog's connection to its master throughout the story, which makes the emotional scenes that much more meaningful. I cannot stress enough that this is a must read, simply for its lighthearted humor and powerful storytelling. To tell about the entire story would be to rob any prospective readers of an amazing story. This is one that, while sounding like a simply silly concept, turns out being a story that makes you wonder. It makes you think about what your purpose as a human being is. It makes you appreciate all those times your dog has come running back to you after you have yelled at him/her for unknown reasons. Read it, and I guarantee you will love it.
