Plot summary

What is A Dog's Journey movie plot?

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

Bailey, an old St. Bernard/Australian Shepherd, lives happily with his owner Ethan (Dennis Quaid), the latter's wife Hannah (Marg Helgenberger), their 2-year-old granddaughter CJ (Kathryn PreScott) and her mother Gloria (Betty Gilpin). He is very fond of CJ. Gloria is inattentive, hates dogs, has a strained relationship with her late husband Henry's parents and an ambition to be a singer. Gloria's suspicious nature leads her to move out with CJ.
Ethan discovers a tumor in Bailey's stomach, later he holds Bailey lovingly, asking him to take care of CJ before he is euthanized. Bailey is then shown running through a grassy field towards CJ.
Nine years later, Bailey, reincarnated as a beagle named Molly, sees a now 11-year-old CJ with her best friend Trent (Henry Lau) and his parents, who are adopting the former's favorite brother Rocky. Remembering the promise she made to Ethan in her previous life, Molly runs outside to CJ. Living in the suburbs with Gloria, she takes Molly home, hiding her. Gloria eventually discovers this and scolds CJ for getting a dog, but reluctantly allows her to keep Molly after CJ persuades her, as she feels neglected and lonely.
CJ and Molly grow increasingly close over the years, along with Trent and Rocky. Now a teenager, CJ tells Trent she wants to drop out of high school and move to New York City with her deceased father Henry's insurance settlement to become a musician.
CJ begins to date Shane (Jake Manley), who Molly distrusts and tries to protect her from. Attending a party which gets busted by police for underage drinking, CJ is sentenced to community service where Molly learns how to detect cancer. Her grandparents try to pay her and Gloria a visit, bringing a box of Henry's belongings, but still angry and distrustful, Gloria closes the door on them. But Molly and Ethan recognize each other and he reminds her of the promise to protect CJ.
