Chapter Overview

Description

A Dog’s Promise continues Bailey’s reincarnating journey—told in the dog’s warm, literal, and fiercely loyal voice—when he is sent back from peace to fulfill one final, crucial promise. Reborn without memories, he grows from a rescued puppy into a working companion for a boy in a wheelchair, learning “Assist,” “Pull,” and the quiet heroism of showing up every day.

As the human family around him fractures under grief, rivalry, and economic pressure, Bailey’s love becomes the tether that keeps people from slipping away from one another. His bond with another dog—Lacey—spans lifetimes too, returning in new bodies the way Bailey does. The story builds toward a high-stakes community disaster that forces long-buried truths into the open, and ends with a spiritual reveal that reframes every loss as part of a larger promise: love doesn’t stop, it returns.
