The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein

"The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein caught my eye a few times at the book store, but it took a friend recommending it to me for me to actually pick it up and read it. And boy, am I so thankful I did! The cover is just the top of a dog's head and that's basically what this book is about... What's really going on in Enzo's mind. His owner is a race car driver trying to go pro. They watch his racing movies together and Enzo takes everything Denny has to teach him to heart. Their family grows and then there is tragedy that tears them apart. But with the love, compassion and intuituion a dog has, Denny is able to keep going in life, in love and in the race! Such a heart warming book that will make you want a dog if you don't already have one and make you smile because we've all wondered what is really going on in their precious brains.
