Ellie had this long, amazing life where she continued to save people up until her last day, including Jacob, which isn’t really shown at all in the movie.
I think it was then I realised what a dogs purpose is, even if Bailey hadn’t yet (Although, Ellie’s purpose was to find and show), and I think they skipped out on it. I think, out of all the lives Bailey lived, the Ellie life was my favourite. In the book, there are references to Todd having a disability and a lot more events that lead up to his decision to burn the house down, whilst in the movie, I believe they just paint him as this boy with no proper motive. I also think that the whole Todd thing should have been explored more. I think, for the transfer in to his next life, the scene should have been kept in.
#A DOGS PURPOSE BOOKS MOVIE#
A scene in the book where as Ethan swims to the bottom of his grandparents pond and Bailey jumps in to ‘save’ him, is replaced by trick in the movie where as Bailey just jumps off Ethans back for a football. However, I think it is here that the movie and book go off course a bit. I felt all the same feels from the Ethan and Bailey I met in the book and the Ethan and Bailey I met on-screen. The book goes on to show how Bailey is introduced to life with other dogs, and to people (who aren’t as bad as he thought), and he is able to learn an important life hack of opening a gate, which allows him in his second life (after his first life is cruelly cut short by an injury that makes him unadoptable) to escape from the puppy farm and wind up stuck in a hot lorry where Mrs Montgomery comes to his rescue.Īnd thus, the love affair between a boy and his dog begins. The book and the movie both start off as Bailey (or Toby) being a feral puppy who is caught by the dog catchers. I just suggest that you do a bit of your own research on the matter, and ask yourself why a video taken during filming, a year before, was not released until eleven days before the original release date if the recorder was so worried about the animals in questions welfare) (This post will not comment on the negative press the movie has got. This is a comparison between the book and the movie, and my thoughts on mostly what they should have kept in. This post has spoilers galore, so don’t read it unless you’ve watched/read it or have no intentions to. Simply narrated by an extraordinary dog called Bailey (Josh Gad -OMG it’s Olaf!) who enjoys eating bacon, and is reincarnated multiple times over five decades to learn his purpose in life with the help of the people he loves and the people who love him back, will be one of those stories that stay with you forever!
