A dog is born into a family,
with two brothers ( Fast and Hungry)
and a sister (Sister).
If you couldn't tell, he named them himself.Hungry dies (ironically enough, of starvation)
and the main puppy learns about death,
and knowing how to recognize it.The rest of the family gets captured and taken to a dog pound,
where the main dog get's his first name - Toby.After the pound gets taken away, Toby gets
put down, as he had previously suffered a leg injury.
This marks the title dog's first death.The title dog gets born again,
into a family of bred dogs.
He is a golden retriever, and escapes
the kennel he was born in by opening a door
handle, which he learned to do from his
previous mother.The dog gets taken in by an alcoholic,
who promises himself to have one drink.
However, he ends up taking hours, and
a female sees the dog - dehydrated and dying
of heatstroke, smashes the truck window,
and takes the puppy in, giving him water.The dog gets named Bailey by the lady's son,
Ethan, and it's love at first sight, and
Ethan takes Bailey everywhere except school with him.Bailey plays with something that Ethan called the flip,
and absolutely hates, it. However, Ethan loves it,
and it becomes important to the story later.Years go by, and Bailey eventually dies,
around the age of 10-15. The family is grief-stricken.Bailey gets reborn into the body of a female
German Shepherd puppy, and gets named Ellie.After a lot of training, Ellie becomes part of the
K9 Unit, where she learns how to track scents
very well.After losing her sense of smell (for the most part) in a chemical accident,
Ellie goes school-to-school with a new handler, who has a child. Once again,
years go by, but Ellie dies once more.She gets reborn into another dog's body, this time male.
He gets mistreated, and eventually dumped by
a forest, which he recognizes. He follows the forest to the Farm,
where he spent his summers as Bailey.Eventually, he tracks down Ethan, where
he had gotten very old. He gets Ethan to marry, by leading him to his ex-girlfriend
and child friend's house, but Ethan eventually dies, but not
before recognizing Buddy as Buddy reincarnated,
as he tracks down the flip for him.. The dog, now named Buddy, recognizes this, but
the book leaves off here.
