I am going to go ahead and call the A Dog’s Purpose movie the movie of the year for dog lovers. No, I haven’t seen the movie yet, but the trailer alone is enough to spear me through the heart in a good way. Other dog owners will know exactly what I mean. This post is brought to you by Universal Pictures. All opinions are my own.

A Dog’s Purpose Movie

In theaters January 27th.

Dennis Quaid in A Dog's Purpose

Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog’s Purpose, from director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The 100-Foot Journey), shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. The family film told from the dog’s perspective also stars Dennis Quaid, Peggy Lipton, Britt Robertson, K.J. Apa, Juilet Rylance, Luke Kirby, John Ortiz and Pooch Hall.

A Dog’s Purpose is produced by Gavin Polone (Zombieland, TV’s Gilmore Girls). The film from Amblin Entertainment and Walden Media is executive produced by Alan Blomquist and Mark Sourian, and it will be distributed by Universal Pictures.

Hilo's Purpose

Learning from Our Hilo

I made my poster with our Hilo. I don’t think I have written about this yet, but we had to put our dear German Shepherd boy down last year. He had degenerative myelopathy, and it got to the point where we had to make the toughest decision a dog owner ever has to make. We know it was time, but it was a lot harder than either of us could have imagined. Hilo was our first pet together as a couple, and my first pet as a responsible adult. I had many pets when I was young, but ultimately, my Grandma was the main caretaker. The bond you form with an animal that is truly yours is immeasurable. Hilo had a major purpose, and I can name a few reasons he was meant to be in my life.

  • Patience: Hilo taught me patience in many ways. He was a ball of energy as a pup and a bit like a tiny white tornado plowing through the house. As adorable as that is, it can also test your nerves a bit. As he got older, I realized how every trying moment is worth the hundreds of happy times he provided tenfold.
  • Loyalty: Hilo taught me loyalty. He was our dog through and through, and we were his humans. You could tell that his life was devoted to protecting us. Nothing – not even food, toys, or treats – mattered more to him than us.
  • Happiness: Hilo taught me happiness. That big, dopey grin on Hilo’s face never dropped. Unless, of course, that threatening pizza delivery person knocked on the door – then he was all business. But, even at the end when we know he didn’t feel well, Hilo kept on grinning.

Great. Now that I am halfway through a box of tissue, I know to stock up for this movie! Even though it hurts so bad to lose your best fur friends, it doesn’t take away from the time we do get to spend with them. Our other two dogs have their clear purpose, as well. Each one of their personalities and stories are different, making each dog unique. The lessons they teach us last for a lifetime. I am so happy to see a movie that highlights the completely underrated human and pet relationship.

    The title says it ALL. One of my students bought me this book years ago because she knew I love dogs. I can’t wait to see it.

  97. This looks like a great movie. I agree that a dog’s life is far greater than their own life. i went through a really hard time and my dog (and my husband too) were the things that got me through it. I always knew that I had a wet nose pup at home waiting for me to come home. When I couldn’t push any harder, one look from my dog would make the pain so much less. I am forever grateful to my furry best friend.

    I’m a huge dog lover so I am happy that this movie highlights how important dogs are in our every day lives. My 2 dogs are my world 🙂

  99. We are a family of dog lovers and have had many in our lives over the years. I would love to see this because we have had our beloved Tundra come back to us twice. It sounds crazy, I know, but we’d have two other dogs at different times after his passing that did the exact same things that he did naturally, not trained.

    I have always had a dog in my life. Each and everyone of them has taught me something and brought me joy and beauty. I will always have a dog, they are special creatures and deserving of all good things. Truth be told, I prefer dogs to people. I always know where I stand with a dog, not so much people.

    Hi Jennifer, I’m excited to see the new theater movie “A Dog’s Purpose” with our 12 yr old grandson. Lots of reasons such as time spend with us his grandparents because life is too short and with the health issues of his papaw this past year, it helps to create new memories. And he just got his new puppy who is 8wks old, female named Luna who is part cattle-dog, part silver haired German Shepard. They love each-other already with such a bond. She thinks he’s her mom and dad and she’s already so good about being potty trained and she sleeps right near him. I think this awesome movie’s story line will help him see how the love and devotion between the human and their loving pet, is one that grows daily in respect and responsibility. And he’s already experiencing that with Luna. We can’t wait to take him to see it together. Thank you and take care.

  285. elizabeth miller says:

    Other than the fact that I just really think this movie looks great and intersting, I have a rescue dog, and an 11 year old…this dog trails my daughter more than I have ever seen an animal do in my life. He drives her absolutely insane. She can not move 1 inch without him jumping up and following. If she goes in her room and closes the door, he lays right outside it with his nose under the door…for hours if need be. He doesn’t give her a speck of breathing room. We keep telling her how much she means to him and she does understand that but he still just drives her nuts by not giving her space. I think this movie may help her understand more how he feels about her.
