I recently found out that a movie I watched as a young child was based on a book so I just finished reading that book

Fluke by James Herbert

I don't know how but a book written in the 70s about a grown man reincarnated into a dog reads like YA

First if you had watched the movie you can clearly see where the writers cherry picked for the script so my biggest surprises were that this story took place in England and his kid was a girl but I guess it was for a more American audience and the father son/boy and his dog dynamic is more compelling

In the book Fluke spends a bit of it wondering why he has memories of things that didn't happen and knowledge he shouldn't know but most of the novel he just spends his time fucking around as a dog and encountering terrible people and other animals that are more intelligent that your average animal until he decides after his friend died at the books half point and he can't live at the junkyard anymore he might as well look for his previous family then doesn't find them until page 178 of 215 pages

Honestly I could have done without the existential philosophical speculation of why living things get reincarnated in this world I don't know just think it would be better if it was a mystery left up to interpretation

So yeah I suggest you just watch the movie instead even though a scene in there scared young child me “Tomorrow you can put him to sleep. For now put him in the can” the callousness of those words and those empty cages have lived in my head for over twenty years and I cannot evict them

If you want to read a dog reincarnation story I suggest A Dog's Purpose and its sequel A Dog's Journey by W Bruce Cameron though I prefer the sequel movie's ending to these too (it's just happier)
