A Dog's Purpose
This delightful story by W. Bruce Cameron, told in doggy first-person, introduces Toby, whose true purpose in life doesn't become clear until his reincarnation as Buddy, a black Lab. A book for all who admire canine courage, Cameron also successfully captures the essence of a dog's amazing capacity to love and protect. And happily, unlike Marley, this dog stays around for the long haul.
