A Dog’s Purpose Story and Giveaway
Hey Folks,
Allie again. I have been thinking in the last few weeks about what my life would have been like if my human family hadn’t adopted me. I can honestly say that I am glad they adopted me as I can’t imagine my life without them.
When I came into the family – there were two other dogs Winnie and her daughter, Tutu. Winnie was the first dog for my family. She was a stray that my daddy found starving (from what I understand you could see her bones.), neglected and abused. But the first time, they laid eyes on her they fell in love.
Winnie was a dog that allowed my human sisters to ride her like a horse. She was fiercely loyal, loved the attention she got from the family. But she was also fiercely protective. It took her a while to warm up to me.
But that poor neglected and abandoned dog opened up a whole other world of love for my family. Eventually leading them to getting me. When my family got me, Gracie was very sick with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). She would have flares almost every day due to stress at school. But then my cute and cuddly self came in their world and that was she wrote.
I am the perfect sick buddy for my whole family.
So that is why I am so glad that my mom has teamed up with the release of A Dog’s Purpose to host this giveaway so your beloved pet can get the royal treatment.
But before I get into details of the giveaway, here is a little bit about the movie.
[info_box type=”pale_box”]Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog’s Purpose, from director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The 100-Foot Journey), shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. The family film told from the dog’s perspective also stars Dennis Quaid, Peggy Lipton, Britt Robertson, K.J. Apa, Juliet Rylance, Luke Kirby, John Ortiz and Pooch Hall. A Dog’s Purpose is produced by Gavin Polone (Zombieland, TV’s Gilmore Girls).

Our rescue dogs entered our lives shortly after our other rescue dog passed away. They helped heal broken hearts and make the holidays better. Now that they’ve been with us for a few years, they just make our everyday life better through unconditional love and crazy antics. They definitely relieve stress and love to cuddle when someone doesn’t feel well.
This is awesome. My precious Nana passed this past May and it has been the worst year of my life expectedly. My big boy Bentley is the most loving, comforting companion I could have asked for and I am so very thankful for him!
I had a pug-mix who was with me for more than 14 years. Just over a year ago, she died in my arms. It was sudden, but not unexpected. I told myself that I didn’t want another dog, but was so lonely that I just had to adopt a new pup. I now have a dachshund who loves cuddles and belly rubs.
I have lived alone since my husband died and pets have given me a lot of comfort as well as I am not so lonely.
