This is a very touching novel told from the dog’s point of view. First off we meet Toby, who is rescued by a lovely lady who unfortunately does not have a license for her dog rescue operation. Senora, as Toby calls her, treats her dogs well, making sure they have food, water, and regular vet checkups. Since the rescue operation is not licensed poor Toby is euthanized. He is reborn again in a puppy mill. Once he was “adopted” his new owner left him in a hot car. A nice lady rescued him out of the car and took him in. He was named Bailey and was very loved by his family. He went on many great adventures and had a lifetime of happiness. His next incarnation he becomes a female! Ellie is a German shepherd search and rescue dog. After Ellie he becomes a black lab named Buddy. Through each of the dog’s reincarnations he/she has learned valuable lessons that stay with the dog throughout the years. Finally as Buddy do we learn the importance of all that he learned through the years as well as Buddy’s true purpose as a dog. This was a wonderful story, although there were a few sad times but overall this is a great book for all animal lovers. This book will make you want to go home and give your pet a big kiss and a hug!
