Spoilers......



In the book, the dog, who keeps coming back to life, finds the boy/guy he loved at the start of the movie, gets him reunited with his childhood love, and tries to let him know that he is Bailey (his first dog) reincarnated. The boy/man never really figures it out but instead suffers a stroke or something and dies (calling the dog bailey right before passing away). He never really figures out it's bailley.



In the movie the do away with the depressing and very unsatisfying ending and instead the boy actually figures out it's bailey after he does a few tricks they did in his past life, and then he goes and changes his collar from Buddy (The name he gave the new dog, to Bailey, and that is the end.

Much better ending, especially if you want kids to watch the movie lol.

It was what I was hoping would happen in the movie.

Over all the movie was just meh, the book was better but...the ending in the movie is WAY better. They SERIOUSLY cut out most of the dark/bad stuff from the book, but I still cried twice while watching the movie.
