a dog's mission

Few people who live in this human world understand dogs. Once understood, it's like a lot of emotional stuff that happened between Ethan Montgomery and Bailey. At that time, the dog's mission may be completed in every minute and every second.

After watching the movie, I found that every creature in the world has dignity and mission. If you have completed your mission but lost your dignity, well, I hope you can be reborn again and find your dignity in your mission. If you have dignity but fail to complete your mission, well, you can also be reborn once and complete your mission in dignity. Dignity and mission are interdependent and cannot be separated from each other.

A Dog's Purpose quotes

  • [last lines]

    Bailey: So, in all my lives as a dog, here's what I've learned. Have fun, obviously. Whenever possible, find someone to save, and save them. Lick the ones you love. Don't get all sad-faced about what happened and scrunchy-faced about what could. Just be here now.

    Adult Ethan: [throws the flattened football] Go! Okay, go get it.

    Bailey: Be - here - now. That's a dog's purpose.

  • [first lines]

    Bailey: [narrating] What is the meaning of life? Are we here for a reason? Is there a point to any of this?

    [a litter of puppies]

    Bailey: First, I had no idea what was going on. I... I couldn't see a thing. It was warm. There was my mother. Every day, I had fun. Was having fun the point? The whole point? No, it couldn't be that simple.

    Dog Catcher: Here's one...

    Bailey: And then it was over.

    Dog Catcher: That's it for you.

    [put him into his truck]

    Bailey: No more fun. It seemed like such a short life. I mean, what exactly did I do? There was some playing. There was some eating. I dug in the dirt. But when I really thought about it, it didn't add up to much. I was back. And I was a puppy again. Alive and ready to ask the big questions. To dig for answers.
