Hey guys! I'm Brittany. I've been kind of in a weird head space today, but I decided
-
we could all probably use a break from current events so let's talks about dogs
-
So this book right here has spend 7 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list
-
It is currently at number 2 for paperback fiction
-
It was adapted into a film starring Britt Robertson, Dennis Quaid, Peggy Lipton, Josh Gad and
-
and a bunch of other fantastic people
-
The basic premise of the story is that there's this dog who keeps getting reincarnated.
-
into several different lives
-
and in each life that he lives he learns a new lesson, and he starts piecing these lessons together
-
to fulfill this ultimate purpose.
-
So without further ado, let's jump into my top changes. ALSO Things are gonna get pretty spoilery pretty
-
quickly, so if you care about that you might wanna leave
-
The dog's first life is lived as a stray
-
And in the book he learns this really important lesson from his mom of how to survive
-
basically on human trash and how to be very stealthy while doing it
-
And eventually the dog gets picked up with his brother and his mom to this family who's basically dog hoarders
-
And eventually the hoarding family gets caught and they get busted by the police.
-
And Toby is euthanized by the dog catchers
-
In the movie the dog's first life is glossed over. Like, VERY glossed over
-
It's barely a blip on the screen.
-
I wish they had shown the lesson that Toby learned from that life, which is
-
his mom teaching him how to survive without human contact. Cause..
-
In the dog's final life as Buddy, in the book and in the movie, it's the same, he's kind of
-
Abandoned by this family and he's trying to find his way back to Ethan
-
He's trying to smell him out. But in the book it's evident that the dog goes to great lengths to try to avoid
-
all human contact and not get picked up
-
And live on the street by himself
-
until he has enough time that he can figure out where Ethan is
-
and that was so moving and such a touching love letter to how much Bailey truly loved Ethan
-
And I felt like the emotional impact of how much the dog was kind of willing to go through to find Ethan
-
was really touching and a little bit lost in the movie
-
Number three, Ethan's antagonist - the nemesis to Ethan
-
So in the book and the movie, Todd is a morally bankrupt arsonist, but in the book he's way way
-
more twister. From the time they're little kids, Ethan andTodd kind of grow up together
-
And Todd is basically like Sid from a toy story
-
Todd blows up his sister's toys
-
And at one point in the book Todd actually dognaps Bailey and tries to kill him
-
His little sister steps in and rescues Bailey
-
But Todd later on successfully kills another neighborhood dog
-
like, he's so twisted.
-
So in the movie they took some of Todd's evilness and some of the antagonism that Ethan felt with Todd
-
and shifted it onto Ethan's dad.
-
They really amplified any tension that Ethan had with his Dad
-
And in the book, Ethan and his parents fight. In the movie it was way way worse
-
They added in that whole epic scene at the farm that culminates in Ethan's dad leaving permanently
-
And the movie makes it a lot clearer that Ethan's dad
-
has a debilitating alcohol addiction.
-
Number four, let's talk about Ethan and Bailey.
-
Ethan + Bailey = LOVE
-
Bailey has so much live for Ethan and
-
in the movie they add a few things in like when
-
Bailey escapes from the garage to be with Ethan
-
And with all the shenanigans with the coin collection
-
Get it out Bailey! Get it out!
-
In the book when Ethan is staying with his grandparents on their farm he gets left home alone
-
For just a little bit and he takes the horse and the dog and he goes on this really really long oudoor adventure
-
And he gets completely lost, like, mega lost
-
Eventually it gets really bad. They spend the night outside and Bailey actually saves Ethan's life
