Bailey's Story!
A PUPPY TAILS NOVEL ADAPTED FROM “A DOG’S PURPOSE.”
Due to the enormous success of Ellie’s Story, Ellie is now joined by Bailey, another of the A Dog’s Purpose dogs with their very own children’s novel.
Bailey’s Story, a novel for children adapted from A Dog’s Purpose
Life is just wonderful for Bailey, a rambunctious Golden Retriever puppy who is adopted by his boy, Ethan. And life seems pretty good for Ethan, too: there’s a farm he visits in the summer (where a girl named Hannah lives down the road) and he has a family and is something of a football star at school.
When a house fire permanently injures Ethan, his spirits go into a downward spiral. It’s up to his faithful friend Bailey to pull him out of the doldrums—a task for which a dog is ideally suited!

Bailey’s Story sounds like a heartwarming addition to the Puppy Tales series, bringing the charm of A Dog’s Purpose to younger readers. Following Bailey and Ethan’s bond from playful puppy days to growing up on the farm makes it both touching and relatable. Stories about loyalty and friendship always resonate — something even SoFlo Wheelie Life can appreciate.
