ABOUT?
 A devoted dog (Josh Gad) discovers the meaning of its
own existence through the lives of the humans it
teaches to laugh and love. Reincarnated as multiple
canines (dog) over the course of five decades, the
lovable pooch (doggie) develops an unbreakable bond
with a kindred spirit named Ethan (Bryce Gheisar). As
the boy grows older and comes to a crossroad, the dog
once again comes back into his life to remind him of
his true self.

The dignity of human person is the

most precious quality of an
individual, beyond any wealth of this
world.

 WHAT IS A DOG'S PURPOSE?
 The Dog’s purpose is to discover the
meaning of its own existence through the
lives of the humans it teaches to laugh
and love.
God created us through love, and
through love continues to keep us in
existence.

Because man is created in God’s image,

he shares in God’s infinite knowledge and
love, man has the capacity to know and
love.
 HOW DID ETHAN TRAIN BAILEY?

 Ethan trained Bailey to become a helpful,

obedient, and a smart dog. He taught him
to be unique and what is the dog’s purpose
in his life.

Our dignity does not put us above

creation and does not mean that we can
do anything we want.
Rather, we are called to be free and we
hold a special place in creation.

HE NARRATE THE STORY? DO
HIS THOUGHTS SOUND LIKE
THE THOUGHTS A DOG
WOULD HAVE?
 ALTHOUGH THE DOG IS A DIFFERENT
BREED IN EACH LIFE—AND SOMETIMES A
DIFFERENT SEX—WHAT TRAITS ALWAYS
REMAIN THE SAME?

 The
dog remain being HELPFUL,
LOYAL/FAITHFUL and OBEDIENT.

We have the moral obligation before God and

one another to be responsible in pursuing the
true good, as discerned by our Christian
conscience that directs our freedom
according to the person and message of Jesus
Christ, the center and norm for the
Christian’s self-becoming and identity.
WHAT IF THE DOG WERE REINCARNATED
AGAIN AFTER HIS LIFE AS BUDDY? WHAT
MIGHT HIS PURPOSE BE THEN?

 His purpose may be different because she/he

maybe reincarnated again in different breed but
his love and care for his master will be the same.
Because in the first place, he was taught by his
master to be unique, his purpose is to help and to
serve his master.

As a human being, we may change of

how we are being created, but we
know that our purpose as a human
is the same.
WHAT IF THE DOG WERE REINCARNATED
AGAIN AFTER HIS LIFE AS BUDDY? WHAT
MIGHT HIS PURPOSE BE THEN?

Christ reveals that the

essential dignity of all person
is grounded directly on their
origin, meaning, and ultimate
destiny which is their union
with the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit.
 WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOUR DOG'S
PURPOSE IS?
 WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR
PURPOSE AS A PERSON?

To be human IS TO BE ABLE TO DO
AUTHENTIC GOOD, LOVE. The term
humane, which comes from human,
and the vernacular “makatao,” coming
from “tao,” are both positive. Our faith
affirms too that we are fundamentally
good. That is why the traitor is called
“ahas” (snake), a corrupt official,
“buwaya” (crocodile) or someone who
has done a grievous act, “hayop”
(beast).
DID BAILEY CONSIDER HIMSELF AS
A PERSON? WHY? OR WHY NOT?

We are persons created and

formed in the image and
likeness of God and as
adopted children of the
Father, we are called to
develop His likeness by
sharing in Jesus Christ,
God’s only Son.
HOW DOES BAILEY TREATED BY ETHAN’S
FAMILY?

As we go through life, we are

called to pattern our lives after
Jesus. This is not possible
through our own efforts alone
but with the help of the Holy
Spirit who enables us to share
in Christ’s own life and thus
become our fullest selves.
IF ETHAN WERE REINCARNATED, DO YOU
THINK HE WOULD SEARCH OUT HIS DOG?
WHY OR WHY NOT?

God sent us His only

begotten Son, Jesus
Christ. By becoming like
us in everything except
sin.
