A dog finds the meaning of his own existence in Director Gail Mancuso’s new family drama, A Dog’s Journey.
In the sequel to Lasse Hallström's 2017 feature, A Dog's Purpose, Mancuso’s film brings back the continually reincarnated pooch and his adventures through multiple lives filled with love, friendship and devotion as he serves as the companion and protector of his human family.
