Bailey (Josh Gad), a Red Retriever is the protagonist who is rescued by his young owner Ethan (KJ Apa) and his mom Elizabeth (Juliet Rylance). Bailey’s earliest memories, which are intrinsically connected to smells, are all derived from Ethan. Even as a puppy, Bailey asks all the important questions; namely, ‘what is the meaning and purpose of life?’ He witnesses the key stages in his master Ethan’s ‘All-American’ life namely getting a girlfriend, winning the high school football match, getting drafted to college on an All-Star scholarship among other impactful moments. But as life takes a turn for the worse, Bailey’s time on earth comes to an end and he dies, only to be reborn as another breed to another owner. Thus, through several incarnations, Bailey comes to discover interesting insights about humans as well as dogs.
