The Art of Racing in the Rain - Garth Stein

Never thought I'd enjoy a book from a dog's perspective.  But this book is a wonderful read! Book Cover:  "A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope - a captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it." Enzo (the dog) is very astute in his knowledge of life and car racing.  He is very frustrated because he knows what's wrong and how to fix it.  And, if he only had "thumbs" his life would be wonderful.  He is a true friend to his master and family. Garth Stein has woven a "tale", but truth is, it is probably very close to what goes on in a dog's mind.  I have often wondered what Max thinks about things.  Maybe he's frustrated too that he can't express himself.  He doesn't watch tv like Enzo did, so I don't think he knows about dying and going to Mongolia where he will be incarnated to a human. A great read and a book...
