Plot summary

What is A Dog's Journey movie plot?

Here is a short review of "A Dog's Journey" movie plot summary.

Bailey (voiced by Josh Gad), an elderly St. Bernard/Australian Shepherd mix, lives happily with his owner Ethan (Dennis Quaid) and his wife Hannah (Marg Helgenberger), and their 2-year-old granddaughter Clarity (Kathryn Prescott) June "C.J." (Emma Volk) and her mother Gloria (Betty Gilpin). Bailey, communicating with the audience via his thoughts, has a fondness for C.J. Gloria is shown to be an incompetent mother with a hatred for dogs, a distrust of her dead husband Henry's parents (Hannah and Ethan) and an ambition to have a singing career. Soon thereafter, Ethan discovers a big lump in Bailey's stomach, and a veterinarian's diagnosis is cancer. Gloria's suspicious nature leads her to move out with C.J. Eventually, Bailey's condition worsens and Ethan calls the veterinarian to the barn, where they prepare for euthanasia. Ethan holds Bailey lovingly and tells him to take care of C.J. before he is lethally injected. Bailey, now dead, is then seen running through a grassy field towards young C.J.
Nine years later, Bailey, who has been reincarnated as a female beagle named Molly, is part of a litter of puppies who are adopted out until only Molly and her favorite brother Rocky are left. She sees a young boy named Trent (Henry Lau) and his family adopting Rocky. She also sees a young girl with him, who she recognizes is C.J., now 11 years old (Abby Ryder Forston). Molly, remembering the promise she made as Bailey to Ethan, runs outside to C.J. C.J., now living in a house with Gloria, takes Molly home with her and hides her from her mother. Gloria eventually sees Molly and gets angry at C.J. for getting a dog behind her back, but C.J. persuades her mother to let her keep the dog given how neglected she feels. With a reluctant glare, Gloria allows her to adopt Molly.
