I'm Still Here: A Dog's Purpose Forever

NATIONAL BESTSELLER FOR FANS OF A DOG'S PURPOSE. This tenderly told story reveals a comforting narrative ... told from the point of view of a loving angel dog, who wants you to know, “I’m still here ... But I’m also there where all the animals run free, with no pain, waiting for you, watching for you, loving you, and guiding you.”​

“It’s the most comforting, uplifting, rewarding, adorable, funny book!”—NPR

Losing one’s dog is one of the most difficult experiences we go through and it’s hard to find solace. However, the profound, four-legged narrator of I’m Still Here has nothing but good news for humans. The free verse is equally rhapsodic about the eternal nature of our souls and the amazing sound of crinkly wrappers that means cheese is about to be sliced. This very good dog proclaims that love never dies, that we will meet again, and that if you ever doubted that humans are magnificent creatures, look no further than the humble ball.

There is nothing to fear, because it is this dog’s purpose to pull you (like a bad dog who doesn’t know how to do “leash”) toward joy, and to remind you to relish all the naps and treats life has to offer.

Author Cathryn Michon co-wrote the blockbuster hit film A Dog’s Purpose. This is a tale for anyone who has ever said goodbye to a dog (or person) gone too soon, because it’s always too soon. It turns out that the best way to honor those we’ve loved and lost is to be here now, until we meet again.

With musical accompaniment and narrated by the author herself, this audiobook will soothe and comfort anyone dealing with losing their beloved best friend. It’s meant to be enjoyed on its own or paired with the beautifully illustrated book.
