Being a dog lover, I had to read this book. I enjoyed it thoroughly. The story is told from the dog's point of view, which was a little bit difficult to buy into at first. As I got further into the book I had to find out what Bailey's purpose was. I do not believe in reincarnation as a rule, but the book got me thinking it might be possible for pets. I believe that God had a purpose for Bailey, and he had to keep coming back until it was fulfilled. I had a cat for just short of 24 years, and shortly after losing her, a stray showed up at our home with similar markings. That stray filled a hole in my heart that I didn't realize was there. Coincidence? maybe. I urge anyone who has a pet to read this book and hopefully receive some comfort for a lost pet.
