Bradley Cooper has shown a penchant for surprises of late. Playing a talking raccoon in a Marvel movie? Sure. Produce and occasionally appear in a TV show based on "Limitless," why not? Voicing a dog in an inspirational dramedy? Uh, what?
Indeed, Cooper will be providing the soothing tones of the canine in "A Dog’s Purpose." Based on the best-seller by W. Bruce Cameron, directed by Lasse Halstrom, and starring Britt Robertson and Dennis Quaid, the story is about a dog who keeps being reincarnated, helping the people who come to possess him, while hanging onto to the hope of being reunited with this original owner and best friend.
