A Dog's Purpose Page #5

---

I do not want to see him

in the house.

But it's cold outside.

Well, he's got fur for that.

We should at least

set out a blanket.

It's a dog!

Ethan?

Hey, boy. Good?

I'm so sorry.

It's all my fault.

Even though

I couldn't see him,

I knew Ethan

was very sad that night.

Hey, boy.

Hey.

It's cold out there, isn't it?

I knew he needed me.

And I needed him, too.

You're a good boy.

- Ready, boy?

Okay. Come here.

Come here.

Come on, Bailey.

- Okay, boy. Ready?

Three, two...

One!

- Come on!

Yeah, boy.

--Yeah, boy.

- Oh, come on.

- Let's do it again.

- Yes!

- Yeah!

Nice throw, Ethan.

Nice throw.

Nice play.

Great pass, Ethan.

Got 'em now. Right on.

You-you get it to him

every time.

Yeah, exactly.

'Cause every time

we run that play...

Everybody wanted to walk

next to the Alpha male.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Almost everybody.

'Cause he's right there

every single time. -Yep.

-Ethan, why do you always

have this dog with you? -Hmm?

What? It's like a girlfriend

replacement or something?

- Huh?

-Yeah, good one, Todd.

Give a little kiss? Huh?

I'm just asking.

Excuse me.

Oh, I'm sorry, Todd.

Did my, uh, girlfriend

replacement just trip you?

Very funny.

-Relax, man. I'm kidding.

-The dog's laughing at you.

-Dogs don't laugh, you moron.

-Bailey, come here.

That's funny.

Got everything?

-Yeah.

When Lou dropped that pass

at the start,

- I thought we were done, man.

- -I know!

Here.

Bailey, come here.

Hey, dad.

- You hungry?

- I'm starving.

-I got a casserole in the oven.

-Yeah?

Africa is home to hundreds

of thousands of animals.

Some look comical, some...

Some forbidding,

and some so entrancing

that we'd like

to reach out and touch them...

So, uh, coach made me

starting quarterback today.

That's great, kid.

You gotta come

to my next game, dad.

I'm serious.

I'm better now.

It's been a long time.

Okay.

Poor dad.

Wow. Wow!

This place is great.

-Oh, there's so much

to smell here. -

and eat.

Oh, it's everywhere.

Feed me. Feed me.

- You want to go next?

- Mm-hmm.

Ethan had a different smell

all of a sudden.

A sweaty smell.

Who wants to go

on that roller coaster?

Hmm. I wonder if that girl

had anything to do with it.

Oh! Hey, hey, hey!

Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey!

-Whoa!

-Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry.

That was the dog.

That wasn't me.

-Oh.

-I wouldn't do that.

Okay, well, maybe

you should teach your dog

some manners.

I've been trying.

He's, uh... he's not too smart.

Really?

Wow. Did you hear

what he said about you?

You look pretty smart to me.

Oh, yeah.

Such intelligent eyes.

My butt itches.

What's your name, handsome?

He's, uh... he's Bailey.
