Bailey's Story (A Dogs Purpose Novel)

by Puppys Fly

When Bailey meets eight-year-old Ethan, He quickly figures out his purpose: to play with the boy, and to tidy the boy's dishes by licking them clean (only when Mom isn't watching). But Bailey soon learns that life isn't always that simple-that sometimes bad things happen-and that there can be no greater purpose than to protect the boy he loves.

One day it occurred to me that warm, squeaky, smelly things squirming around next to me were my brothers and sisters. I was very disappointed.

For a little while now, I had been pushing and shoving those wiggly objects aside so that I could get at My mother's furry warmth and her rich, delicious milk. So those things that had been getting in the way of my food were other puppies like me!

I blinked up at my mother, silently asking her to please get rid of the rest. I wanted her all to my self. But she didn't. It seemed that my brothers and sisters were here to stay. In that case, I decided, I was going to be the one in charge.
