Bailey likes the young woman too, adding, “Plus, she smells like biscuits.” But he’s unsure why Ethan’s always looking for food in Hannah’s mouth.
Wherever Ethan is, Bailey-or “Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey,” as Ethan almost always calls him-isn’t far behind, influencing events and offering his own unique perspective on Ethan’s existence.īailey cunningly engineers a meeting between Ethan and the young of his young life, for example, a girl named Hannah. Soon the dog, named Bailey, has a permanent home with the Montgomery family.īailey and his best bud, Ethan, grow up together. But he’s rescued (in the late 1950s) by a feisty woman and her son, who break a window to retrieve him. The pup’s second life is nearly just as short, as the men who find him unwisely lock him in a sweltering truck. Just like that, though, he’s back, mysteriously reborn in a new furry body … but with the same unique, self-aware consciousness he had the first time around. The dog’s first life-and it’s a brief one-ends with his euthanasia in a pound almost as soon as it’s begun. And, it turns out, a curiously contemplative pooch named Bailey, who voices those exact questions at the outset of A Dog’s Purpose, the tail, er, tale of a remarkable canine’s quest to sniff out the meaning of his life. These questions have occupied seekers, mystics, theologians and philosophers for millennia. “What is the meaning of life? Are we here for a reason? Is there a point to anything?”
