Description
In A Dog’s Journey, Buddy—an old black Lab who has already lived as Toby, Bailey, and Ellie—spends his final days on Ethan’s farm believing his work is complete. But when a baby named Clarity enters the family circle, Buddy senses a new, unfinished duty: protect her, no matter the cost.
When Buddy dies, he wakes again as a tiny puppy and discovers his purpose has shifted from loving Ethan to safeguarding Clarity—now CJ, a troubled teenage girl with a volatile mother and a growing storm inside her. Across years, crises, and multiple reincarnations, the dog repeatedly finds CJ at her most dangerous turning points, using loyalty, instinct, and hard-earned wisdom to anchor her life when everything else fails.
This is a character-driven story about identity, unconditional love, and what it means to be “a good dog” when the person you’re meant to protect keeps slipping out of reach.
