AUTHOR:
W. Bruce Cameron. (He was born on February 2, 1952, is an American writer, screenwriter, and humorist.)
What is the relation between the book's title and its content?
For me, the title of this book introduces what the book will explain to you, The book talks about the dreams of a dog, how it has life purposes which it plans to fulfill in one way or another, and that like humans he has a reason to fight, to overcome obstacles that stand on his way, to be in the world, and he will fulfill it, because it is the dog’s purpose
PLOT
-It is a dog that reincarnates in different bodies, different lives.
-Toby was the beginning of everything, he shows to us how a lot of dogs live without owners in desolated kennels, or in the streets, trying to find food to eat and survive, something which is unfortunately very common.
-Then reincarnated in Balley that was the one that lasted more years with its owner Ethan, who was very important for him. He teaches us to treat our dogs with love and affection.
-Then he's reborn in Ellie, is a female and learns to look for and fulfill different missions as a police dog with her partner Jakob, fortunately Ellie was happy saving people’s life.
-Finally reincarnated in Bear, a dog with obvious signs of abuse, that suffered from the lack of affection.
CONFLICT
-Toby was without an owner, and in the reincarnation of Bear, the owners don’t pay attention to him.
RESOLUTION
-A dog becomes so loyal, not only because of his nature, but also by true love.
MY OPINION
-I loved this book, for me, this story reflects the reality about the feelings of an animal, in this case, a dog and how they live without someone who takes care of him. In the book we can find a phrase that says “The dog is man’s best friend” and for me, it is a true statement, because the dogs are very loyal even more than many people, this dog is able to give his life for his owner.
