　　一隻狗經歷了四次輪迴冒險，牠曾是流浪狗、屬於一個男孩的黃金獵犬、拯救無數遇難者的牧羊犬，以及不可置信又再度重生的拉不拉多……牠心中始終存有一個對生命的困惑：「我的存在意義究竟是什麼？」牠明白凡走過必留下痕跡，每一段歷險都有所啟示，自己身上一定還有未竟的任務。

　　This is the remarkable story of one endearing dog’s search for his purpose over the course of several lives. More than just another charming dog story, A Dog’s Purpose touches on the universal quest for an answer to life’s most basic question: Why are we here?

　　Surprised to find himself reborn as a rambunctious golden-haired puppy after a tragically short life as a stray mutt, Bailey’s search for his new life’s meaning leads him into the loving arms of 8-year-old Ethan. During their countless adventures Bailey joyously discovers how to be a good dog.

　　But this life as a beloved family pet is not the end of Bailey’s journey. Reborn as a puppy yet again, Bailey wonders—will he ever find his purpose?

　　Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A Dog’s Purpose is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog’s many lives, but also a dog’s-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man’s best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.
