A Dog's Promise: A Review
**SPOILERS**
All I can really say was W. Bruce Cameron did it again! Another touching and heart-warming story in this 3rd installment to his "A Dog's Purpose" series! It had me laughing at times and choked up at times. This book definitely had me at the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next.
This was about the lovable Bailey, known in this one as Cooper and Riley. He goes through many lives trying to fulfill his purpose as a dog. This time, he's accompanied by a girlfriend! They find each other over each one of their lives. There is a paralyzed boy named Burke who acquires Cooper to train as his service dog. Years pass and Burke has a surgery that enables him to use his legs and learns to walk. Cooper loses his sense of purpose. As the story goes on, there is love and loss, laughter and tears, suspense and predictability. The content of this novel was pretty compelling.
*SPOILER*
One thing I wasn't a fan of was brother stealing brother's girl which happened a couple times throughout the story. A character named Wrenling was dating Burke. Grant falls in love with her and while she's dating his brother, tries to steal her which he does successfully. Later on in the story, Grant is dating a woman and surprise, surprise, she ends up with Burke 😒. I understand the urge of dramatics, but didn't fancy the approach.
I did however like that Riley was discovered to be Cooper by Burke and ultimately suspected to be Great Grandpa Ethan's dog Bailey. Then that Ethan came back as Burke's newborn son at the end of the story. 🤯
*SPOILER END*
W. Bruce Cameron has some great ideas in his head. Apparently he was with a woman who had just lost a dog and came up with this idea to ease her grieving and to convince her to let him bring another one into the house. It worked (you sly fox you). This one yet amazing was not my favorite. I would say A Dog's Purpose was. This does however come as a very close second!
